Levi’s Former President Jen Sey: Exposing the Truth About "Woke Capitalism" | Sage Steele Show 03/11/2026

Levi’s Former President Jen Sey: Exposing the Truth About "Woke Capitalism" | Sage Steele Show I remember the day I discovered Jen Sey. We had such similar trajectories in our careers and our "cancellations," and sitting down with her in person was a powerful reminder that the truth always wins. Most of you know her as the former Brand President of Levi’s who stood up for children’s rights during the pandemic, but today, we’re going way beyond the headlines.

Duck Dynasty’s “Big Dirty Secret”: 34 Years of Marriage & The Price of Fame 02/11/2026

Duck Dynasty’s “Big Dirty Secret”: 34 Years of Marriage & The Price of Fame I spent 15 years only watching sports because of my life at ESPN, so I missed the initial Duck Dynasty craze—but getting to know Willie and Korie Robertson today was exactly what my soul needed. We go far beyond the camo and the beards to discuss the raw reality of family, faith, and what happens when your life changes overnight. In this episode, Korie and Willie get incredibly honest about their "rough start"—including a breakup at 17 and a "knockdown drag-out" fight with Korie's father before they got married at 18 and 19. We talk about the psychology of sudden fame, the "ginger angel" that changed Willie’s health, and the "nuclear reactor" of stress that comes with running a family business while filming a hit TV show. We also dive deep into why they never left their hometown, how they handled the loss of the legendary Phil Robertson, and their mission to bring good news and revival to a world that feels increasingly dark. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their journey, this conversation is a masterclass in resilience and staying rooted in what matters. Sponsors: Good Ranchers - Subscribe and save up to $500.

"Being a Little Boy Is Now a Psychological Disorder" | Sage Steele Show | EP 90 01/28/2026

"Being a Little Boy Is Now a Psychological Disorder" | Sage Steele Show | EP 90 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 ashes. John also turned the tables on me, asking why I decided to "run it back" and get married again after a 20-year journey. This is one of the most raw, honest, and faith-filled conversations I’ve ever had on this show. If you’ve ever felt like you were just "performing" your life instead of living it, this episode is for you.

Senator John Kennedy on the Venezuela Mission & The Truth About ICE | Sage Steele Show | EP 89 01/20/2026

Senator John Kennedy on the Venezuela Mission & The Truth About ICE | Sage Steele Show | EP 89 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 some incredibly personal stories including how he defied orders to save pets during Hurricane Katrina and his honest assessment of meeting with Joe Biden early in his presidency. Senator Kennedy is one of a kind. He’s brilliant, he’s hilarious, and he reminds us all why we have to stand strong because as he says, "weakness invites the wolves.

What You Should Know About Vaccines | Sage Steele Show | EP 84 12/03/2025

What You Should Know About Vaccines | Sage Steele Show | EP 84 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 through what he sees as the dangers of censorship, the erosion of trust in institutions, and the importance of holding powerful systems accountable. This episode is not about fear. It is about understanding. It is about listening to people who have dedicated their lives to a cause, even when their views challenge the mainstream. I hope you approach this conversation with an open mind, the same way I did. Try Rho Nutrition today and experience the difference of Liposomal Technology.
