Everybody Loves Justin Nunely | Sage Steele Show | EP 74
The Sage Steele Show
You probably know Justin Danger Nunley from TikTok, where millions of people wait for his signature line: “Listen… did you know?” But behind the viral videos is a story most people have never heard.
info_outlineI wasn’t sure what to expect going into this conversation with Chris Harrison—but I walked away with a deeper respect for a man who’s been through a public firestorm and came out of it more grounded, more thoughtful, and more self-aware.
For nearly two decades, Chris was the host of The Bachelor—a pop culture staple. But we didn’t spend our time rehashing old seasons. Instead, we talked about the real stuff: identity, regret, resilience, and what it means to be publicly misunderstood. Chris opened up about the moment everything changed, how it impacted him personally and professionally, and how he handled the silence that followed.
He talked about therapy, fatherhood, the power of taking ownership, and why losing his job may have been one of the best things that ever happened to him. And through it all, there was no bitterness—just clarity. Chris showed up with humility and honesty, and I think you’ll hear that right away.
This is a conversation about redemption, reinvention, and what happens when the spotlight turns off and you’re left with who you really are.
