The Dark Side of the Medal of Honor: The Dark Side of the Medal of Honor: "I’ve Never Felt More Alone" | Sage Steele Show | EP 91

The Sage Steele Show

Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer joins me for a conversation that I’ll never forget. We’ve all seen the headlines about his bravery in combat, but in this episode, we go far beyond the military accolades to discuss the real price of heroism and the silent struggle of mental health that follows the battlefield. Dakota is incredibly raw about the night he stood in the Battle of Ganjgal, the loss of his teammates, and the "big dirty secret" of the transition back to civilian life. We dive into the psychology of survival, how he navigated the weight of the Medal of Honor, and the faith...

"Being a Little Boy Is Now a Psychological Disorder" | Sage Steele Show | EP 90

The Sage Steele Show

Today’s guest, Dr. John Delony, is someone I have admired from afar for a long time because he has a way of cutting through the noise and getting straight to the heart of what’s breaking our families. In this conversation, John gets incredibly vulnerable about his own "big dirty secret" how his success in the world was masking a "nuclear reactor" of stress that made his own daughter feel unsafe to hug him. We dive deep into the "toolkit crisis" facing men today, why we’ve started pathologizing normal childhood behavior in boys, and the radical choice to rebuild a marriage from the...

The Sage Steele Show

I am so honored to have Senator John Kennedy join me today. If you know the Senator, you know he tells it exactly like it is: no filter, no teleprompter, just straight common sense. We really went there in this one, covering everything from the high-stakes military action in Venezuela to the "special kind of stupid" he sees in government bureaucracy. We took a deep dive into the reality of what’s happening at our border, the "loon wing" of the Democratic party, and why he’s sounding the alarm on the rise of socialism in cities like New York. But beyond the politics, the Senator shared...

The Sage Steele Show

 In this edition of The Sage Steele Show, I sit down with Jesse Watters for a conversation you do not usually see on television. We talk about life beyond the camera. Family, marriage, faith, confidence, mistakes, and what it actually takes to stay grounded while working in a nonstop media environment. Jesse opens up about lessons learned, how his personal life has shaped the way he shows up on TV, and why authenticity matters more than ever. This is not a debate or a soundbite interview. It is a real conversation filled with humor, reflection, and moments you do not get in a studio...

When Your Own Community Turns on You ft. Hodgetwins | Sage Steele Show | EP 87 show art When Your Own Community Turns on You ft. Hodgetwins | Sage Steele Show | EP 87

The Sage Steele Show

In this episode, I sit down with Hodgetwins, and I can honestly say this might be the most I’ve ever laughed on this show. Yes, we talk about real issues. Culture. Politics. Identity. Accountability. But we also laugh a lot. Because that’s who they are. Comedians who tell the truth without pretending it has to sound polished or safe. We get into what happens when you stop conforming, when you challenge expectations placed on how you’re supposed to think, vote, or speak. We talk about black fatigue, social pressure, and the cost of honesty. But we also joke, tease, and laugh through it,...

The Sage Steele Show

My dear friend Samantha Ponder joins me for one of our most honest conversations yet. We talk motherhood, faith, fear, and freedom, raising kids in New York City, why safety is more complicated than we think, and what it really means to trust God in uncertain times. We also reflect on life after ESPN, being fired, stepping away from social media, marriage, parenting without fear, and why some of the hardest seasons can lead to the greatest clarity.

The Sage Steele Show

This conversation with Del Bigtree is one of the most serious and eye-opening episodes I have ever recorded. Del laid out his concerns about vaccine safety, government transparency, and the systems that influence the medical decisions families make every day. Whether you agree with him or not, his perspective is rooted in years of research, investigation, and a deep passion for protecting children. We talked about the questions he believes are not being asked, the studies he thinks should be at the center of public conversation, and the consequences he has faced for speaking out. Del walked...

The Sage Steele Show

Jason Whitlock showed up ready to talk about everything, and he did not hold back. We talked about his long and complicated history with Stephen A. Smith, why that friendship changed, and what he believes Stephen has gotten wrong through the years. Jason opened up about the choices he has made in his personal life, including why he never married or had children, and how those decisions shaped the man he is today. And because this is Jason Whitlock, there was plenty of laughter too. I pressed him on his top ten eye candy list, and he broke it all down with the honesty and humor only he can...

The Sage Steele Show

I sat down with Dave Ramsey at his headquarters in Nashville for one of the most personal and inspiring conversations I’ve had on this show. Dave opened up about losing everything in his 20s, filing for bankruptcy as a young husband and father, and how that painful chapter became the foundation for the empire he built today. We talked about what it means to be a real leader, how faith guided him through failure, and the difference between being a boss and being a servant leader. He shared what those years taught him about marriage, fatherhood, and humility, and how his faith continues to...

More Episodes

This one was personal in a way I didn’t expect.


I sat down with Vivek Ramaswamy—not just to talk politics—but to talk about faith, family, and what drives him as a man. We got into what it was like growing up as the child of Indian immigrants, how his faith shapes the way he sees the world, and why he’s more interested in speaking the truth than winning approval.


Now running for governor of Ohio, Vivek spoke about what it means to be an outsider in politics, the backlash he’s faced for standing firm on controversial issues, and why he believes most Americans are hungry for something real. He opened up about his marriage, his kids, and what he wants to teach them about courage.


Whether you agree with him or not, Vivek doesn’t pull punches—and I respect that. This conversation was raw, honest, and bigger than politics.
