I've heard so

many wonderful things about you and I love your show. Yeah. Jennifer, she just adores you. And she always tells me such wonderful things about you and gives me a heads up when I need to go and check out one of your shows. Oh, she's great. Oh, I know. Isn't she? She's just a really good soul. So you live in Vegas then, right? Yeah, I'm in Summerland.

Okay. I'm in Colorado, so I'm not too far from you. Nice. I like Colorado. Where are you originally from? Jersey. Oh, really? Okay. Do you like Vegas? I like Colorado. Where are you originally from? Jersey. Oh, really? Okay. Do you like Vegas? I like it. Yeah, I like it for a lot of reasons, but it's pretty cool. Have you been here a lot?

When I was younger, but you know, I really want to come and see that big sphere, that round globe thing. Have you been in it? Not yet. It's on my list. Yeah, that's definitely on my list too. So congratulations on your success of your show, Digital Social Hour, 1.5 million subscribers. I mean, are you kidding me? That's a lot of people. Thank you. Yeah, it's been fun growing this thing the past two years, and hopefully we could 10x those numbers. Oh my gosh, that'd be amazing. That's exciting. You know, do you think about that when you're actually having conversations?

Yeah, once you like picture them in a room, it's like that saying, right? If you get 1000 views, it's like not a lot on social media. But if you picture 1000 people in a room, it's a lot of people. So yeah, we're in a game of numbers. So you kind of have to think about that from time to time. You know, that's so funny that you said that because I want to say Tom Palladino said that to me. Oh, really? Shout out to Tom. Yeah, I know. RIP to Tom. That's a shame. He was a nice guy. We've had some of the same guests before. You know, scalar energy was a huge part of my journey. So I was fascinated by what he had discovered and what he was doing.

Yeah, I think I was the last show he went on because he did a part two with me and then he passed away the next week. Oh, my God. I didn't know that. Yeah. So that was really shocking news. I didn't release that one yet. But yeah, I was a member also. I used it and tried it on my dogs and stuff. So really cool. Wow. So you haven't even released it. Yeah, not because of that.

Just because I had a three month, four month backlog anyways. So he was in the queue. So that one should be dropping pretty soon. That's so sad that he passed so suddenly. I really feel bad for his family yeah but you know what Sean just to start off like how did you get here a lot of uh learning and trial and error just like everyone else that's gotten to a certain point I went through all that you know broke financially spiritually health-wise was doing really bad so had to learn a lot and a lot of different aspects of life honestly it was uh through the podcast where I feel like I started

experienced tremendous growth and in so many different facets of life me too I would say you know like I've grown so much I feel like I'm a student for life like you know there's never enough information that you, well, sometimes I feel like my head's about to blow off my fricking body, but yeah. Yeah. There's a lot. Yeah. Especially some episodes they got you thinking at night. Oh my God. I was listening to one of your episodes, Gary, the numbers guy, that guy just, oh my God, he had me like looking up numbers, you know, I'm a dragon and I'm like, oh my god he had me like looking up numbers you know i'm a dragon and i'm like oh my god you know you could go down some really really deep holes you know there's a lot of

conspiracies out there from like aliens to secret societies you know and to glitter have you heard the glitter one no what's that one oh my gosh there it's like the what do they call it glitter gate and they have like the main manufacturer i think is they refuse to give any information on how they make glitter but supposedly after people have done research it goes back to being a product of maybe a nuclear bomb. No way. I need to look into that. I swear you. Yeah, I know. It's like never ending conspiracies, but usually I find that they're true. These days, yeah. It's seeming like what the conspiracies were five,

10 years ago are all kind of true now and people just brush it to the side. Yeah. What about that? I mean, you do have a lot of guests to sometimes are exposing this truth that maybe the mainstream definitely isn't talking about. Do you ever get any pushback on that? Yeah, I've gotten censorship on certain topics, especially when I go up against big pharma or like a big company they'll censor the video whether it's like just deleting it or giving me a strike or shadow banning it so I know certain keywords trigger that and it depends on platform so yeah definitely gotten some kickback probably lost a ton of sponsors probably lost some guests it's part of the game

though I just want people to be as authentic as possible so for me it's it's part of the game though I just want people to be as authentic as possible so for me it's it's like a it's a side effect like I know I'll lose some deals over it right I also watch a lot of true crime it's kind of like my side addiction and they always say on a live and they say essay instead of like you know i you don't get really censored like that on podcasts necessarily like you do on youtube yeah not on podcasts but i just learned yesterday because i had a former police officer on that like you shouldn't say committed suicide anymore um oh he gave the word for it it's like dying of suicide or something yeah death by suicide or something yeah so that's by suicide yeah yeah so i just learned that too so it's it's always changing you just got to be on top of the terminology because certain words and phrases from years

ago you can't use these days yeah i mean like it's so crazy to me like everything has to be said in code for youtube anyways it seems um and so i've been talking shit and saying all this stuff on podcast getting rid of it i just saw rogan talking about this with sean ryan which i love sean ryan show but yeah they were saying podcasts are like the one platform where they haven't been uh censored yet yeah and i'm happy that they don't so because i probably would get totally censored so what would you say right now is like one of the main topics you see right now that's pressing i mean definitely politics is hot right now just because the elections every month um but going up against big food is really hot right now which i love because when i

first started the show we were kind of one of the first shows to expose that. And I used to get every video deleted or shadow ban, but now I'm seeing the videos every day, people going up against them. And I just saw a bunch of influencers went to the Senate recently. Shout out to Casey means Courtney Swan. And there was a few others. So that's so exciting to see that there's actual changes being made and then you got RFK talking about it now so I'm really excited it's going to

be good for our kids and our future generations yeah you know I should connect you with Brett Casper he wrote the book Political Gut and I had him on recently and another thing have you seen the um documentary christ sphericy christ sphericy yeah no kip anderson he's the guy who did cow sphericy and sea sphericy on netflix and he had to buy a christ sphericy back from them because they wanted to take out so much wow yeah and it's about basically they go on this deep dive of if jesus was a vegetarian and it is crazy it's really good it was only at the movie theater two times and they could they can't even get it on anywhere. I heard it might go out this fall on HBO Max. Dang, I need to check that out. Yeah, the problem with the Hollywood industry is they won't push certain things if it doesn't fit their agenda.

I know. And that's why I like my podcast. Yeah. I don't put a lot on YouTube. Yeah, podcast. And then you got James O'Kkeefe dropping his documentary in a week so platforms like tucker carlson network or rumble or kick or uh parlor so i think the truth is coming out slowly but surely right so what kind of criteria do you usually look for in your guest i mean how

do you choose who you're going to have on i'm sure sure a lot of people come to you. But do you ever get to pick like your favorite people? Yeah, it's changed over time. And it's still changing as the show evolves and develops. At first, it was so childish, it was just like, it was a business show at first. So I would just have on people that made a ton of money and like had followers. But yeah, it's changed a lot since then. Like now I look at the mission and the messaging of who's coming on and if i think it'll positively impact people or make people think in a different way so yeah i'll have on all sorts of religions all sorts of political stuff i'll have on both sides um just start the dialogue at least because i'll let my viewers decide what they want to do with

that information you just try to kind of stay open to all things. Yeah. Do you ever sometimes not agree? There's been a few times where I'm like, hmm, I'm not so sure about this. No, definitely. But for me, I'll at least try what they're doing and then base my own experience off of how I feel about it.

So like, for example, I had on an energy healer a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to his house next week to try it i'm pretty skeptical if we're being honest but who knows like it might might do something i tried tom staler energy out i don't know if it worked maybe it did i've tried frayer through super christian people i've tried past life therapy through jennifer obviously um so yeah i'm open and i think that should be the first step with people because some people are just so closed off, they won't even attempt to try any of these things. But you won't even learn if you're in that mindset. I think this is a time or an age of experience, right? Like don't knock it into you try it.

So originally, and I think I even read in your bio that your podcast was leaning towards you were trying to figure out an interview with these very successful people and how they got there. Right? Yeah, it was a marketing show at first because that was my specialty. And I just got bored of that, honestly, had on the same people and the same story of how they made money. So I'm glad I started branching off and now it's a show about self-development. Yeah, I love it. Has your definition of what success means? Has that changed? Yeah, yeah, definitely changed. It used to just be money, but now I'd say it's all facets of life, like how spirituality money is still a factor and just like fulfillment. I'd say those four things. Was there like a specific person or interview or was it just kind of like gradual? Like how did that shift? I would say it was gradual. There was a few people from each space that

sort of changed my opinions for spirituality. It was probably Mateus DeStefano, Robert Edward Grant and Billy Carson. I would say those three had the biggest impact on me. And for health, there was a lot of like I've had on the top doctors, there was a lot of those. But Gary Brekka definitely rocked my world. I took a blood test. Results were terrible. And I used to get sick every month. So he fixed, you know, helped me fix all that. I haven't been sick in like a year and a half since i met him oh my god that's amazing i'll have to go and listen to that episode i don't even know what you're talking about but i need to yeah well the biggest thing for people watching this i would

just say get a gene test because i didn't even know i had this one gene break where i can't eat gluten pretty much and i was eating bread and pasta all the time growing up in Jersey. So I was just causing harm to my body without even knowing it. Well, you know, I've always gone back and forth whether or not I should do that because I've been working with ancestry for like over a decade. And I've always gone back and forth whether I wanted to do the medical DNA part. I feel like if I see it, and I see what it says that I could have that maybe I'm going to manifest all of those. Oh, I agree. Because I used to do that. I had the Alzheimer's gene break. And I took 23 of me like six, seven years ago. And I'd say probably the first four years I actually thought about it.

And I was like, wow, I kind of saw my dad getting that in his later years. Like I'm pretty scared. So I could definitely relate to that because you can manifest that for sure. I know. And you know, in my family, it was like every oldest daughter has it or had it, you know, like my great grandma, my grandma, now my aunt my aunt you know and so and I'm the oldest daughter and I'm like wait what shit you know I should be sleeping more I should be doing the things too but you know what I had I had an expert on who is an expert in yeah in Alzheimer's I believe and he said only five% is actually genetic. And I was like, Oh, that's such a low percentage. Wow, that is low. Yeah, I've had doctors on my show say about 25 to 20%. So it's

definitely lower than I think people realize. I think most people would probably say it's like 50 or higher percent. And he also said that sleep was like one of the most important things, which I don't know about you, but I'm not a very good sleeper oh i definitely neglected it and growing up in high school and college sleeping four hours a day but now i have an acely mattress i have blackout curtains i take these natural sleep supplements yeah i'm scoring 90 plus every night oh gosh you're good yeah i never even got past 80 well when you're filming you know six to eight episodes a day i need to be on top of like what i can control so sleep is one of those things my goodness you are busy so do you take vacations sometimes yeah i try to take so i didn't take any

the first five years and i definitely don't recommend that that was really isolating um but now I take them at least two three a year it's a good that's awesome well you know I mean how many do you said sometimes six interviews a day yeah I just did seven the most I've done is 17 and that was last month and I was drained but I average about 50 a month for the past two years oh my god I did not know that are you human uh who knows we could be aliens I actually just took um have you heard of genome link yeah yeah so I just bought it and uh you can connect it with your 23andme so i found out pretty much my whole life is a lie because i thought i was half irish but i'm only two percent oh we should talk outside of this yeah i was shocked because my dad told me like he was full irish all my cousins thought they were irish so i guess somewhere in the lineage it got lost what we

actually were did you put together your tree it did it on there for me and then it said I was an entertainer and like certain things were contributing to that it could be that your dad was lied to in my family I had found out on my mom's side that my great grandma had passed as white. Really? And she had a totally different name. Whoa. I know. And that was like how I went on this like eight-year journey to discover that.

Wow. And then on my dad's side, he was quite a bit of Jewish and that was denied. So it's very interesting how those generations prior were having to hide who they were, you know, out of fear. Yeah, that's fascinating. Yeah. There's a lot lost over time because, yeah, my dad was definitely lied to. And even my mom, like she thought she was full Chinese, but we had some Thai in there, some Vietnamese, different parts of China. So it's pretty crazy how much of this gets lost over time. Right. My dad was I thought he was pure Czechoslovakian for generations. They had come from there. It's like German and it's, you know, Austrian and all these things that make up, you know, the people that live in Czechoslovakia.

I mean, it's so weird. And then my mom was just french creole and like everything that's hilarious yeah you know even stuff like basque have you heard about that one basque no ask it's like these people who live in the mountains in between france and spain And their language is the oldest language in Europe. And it's not even like Spanish or French. I've even heard some say it's closer to Chinese. That's interesting. But also I've heard they think their DNA is interesting and that it doesn't go back to homo sapiens what right i i'm like what am i but yeah and some people i've heard say that they think they're like connected to

atlanteans but i didn't i mean how could you prove that i don't know yeah i don't know how you would prove that that's that's super far back. Yeah, who knows? These are all the reasons why I took a genealogy course. Got on very, very deep dives on that. And now that I know all my different ethnicities, I'm going to start exploring all these different countries because I'm 20 different races. I love that.

That's how mine is. I was just like that. Like I was being called, you know, to go and learn more about like where they're from. You know, it's interesting because you feel like, I don't know about you, but you watch movies and you're like really attracted to like a time period. It's so weird. You know, I always was attracted to French culture, which is, you know, obviously it's in my blood, right? It's in my DNA. I can understand that. It's like almost like something lights up in you when you have like this awareness to know more. Right. Yeah. I could definitely see that maybe

past lives in that era or something. I was told by a couple of psychics, I have some Syrian lineage. So I'm going to, I mean, who knows if it's true, but I'm going to explore Egypt and stuff and see what I feel there. I'm always open to new things, like we said earlier. Yeah. And I'm also like, really, like when it comes to the land, like in New Orleans that I'm from Louisiana originally. And, you know, I cry when I leave there,

like there's some sort of connection. And, you know, I feel feel like and now I know why because my family's been there since like the late 1600s it makes sense yeah you got that generational spirituality component to it right yeah so I'm just wondering like did you ever feel like you needed to go to you know Ireland so my dad dragged me out there it was really yeah now that I think about it and I know that I'm only two percent Irish now and I didn't really like it there so that makes more sense it just rains a lot there and it's kind of depressing and people drink a lot not really

my vibe but maybe I just went to the wrong parts I'll give it another try another one of these days because I did hear there's a big spiritual side of Ireland. So I'm going to explore that because Billy Carson was telling me that actually. Yeah, you know, I've had on this guy named Sean Johnson. And he's the lead singer of the Sean Johnson wild lotus band. And he goes there like every year and does like yogi retreats. He's like a yogi band he's awesome if you ever want him on he's amazing but yeah his story is so fun too his parents are um an ex-priest and a nun wow i know that's crazy yeah i know i can't even picture that well obviously not anymore they're kicked out for sure but yeah he's got amazing stories from Ireland as well. Nice.

I love Stockholm. Yeah, that is so interesting, though, that you didn't like love it. You know what I mean? Didn't call me, but it could have been environment could have been the people I was with. It could have been anything. Yeah. Yeah. So but your mom's family is from Asia.

Yeah, she's from China,ijing i went there when i was a kid definitely felt better there than ireland yeah jen loves over there she's always sending me pictures telling me how clean it is which is so sad even colorado has changed so much over the past like less than decade i mean it's really sad what's happening over here. Yeah. I've heard about Colorado. Yeah. Especially Denver, right? A lot of homeless and stuff. Yeah. And we had like the worst air quality this summer. We beat like most places in Asia. What? Yeah. I didn't know that. That is so sad. It's just ridiculous i i don't even know what's happening but it seems like since covid guess we don't have our light rail anymore which i think was helping a lot of people you know i mean my daughter always went to college on the light rail she'd park and go

downtown and they don't have it hasn't been working so i don't know what's going on who knows maybe they're building more tunnels under dia. Who knows what they're doing down there? They just found a tunnel and did his basement. Yeah, that's right. Oh my God. It's just, it's such a crazy time right now, but to be someone who interviews people from all over the world, I'm sure you hear so much of this. Yeah. I hear a lot of it. I mean, I kind of just have to filter some of it, but a lot of it ends up coming true. It's like everyone thought Alex Jones was crazy and he's predicted so many things. Right. Like RFK Jr.

I've been a fan. You know, if you listen to what they say and don't have a judgment because of, you know, what side they're on or who they were with or whatever. I mean, so much wisdom that we're actually passing up because we're judging them without even hearing them out. Yeah, I don't trust cancel culture anymore. Now when I see someone getting canceled, I'll look into it further. And usually they don't deserve it.

Absolutely. That's where you should be the most suspicious. Yeah, when you see the media all ganging up on one person at the same time, I mean, it's pretty much a targeted attack at that point. You know, and what I've noticed is that has always been that way. Yeah. When you go up and I remember growing up and I would see the media talk about North Korea and China, about how they censor information. And I'm like, that's crazy that people live like that. But I'm pretty sure a lot more countries do that than we realize. I think they do it to us. I mean, you know, it's very interesting that you say that.

Sometimes I'll talk to my cousin in Canada and I will be able to look up stuff that he can't. I have heard that with Canadians, actually. Yeah, they can't even post certain things these days. And there was a Canadian at Tucker Carlson's event showing me his phone. He couldn't even look up Tucker Carlson's Instagram account. Wow, that's so interesting. But doesn't it kind of make you think if that's happening to us and we're just not aware?

Definitely, yeah. I think a majority of my life I wasn't until honestly Trump was the catalyst hate him or love him just him just even saying about the fake news like that wasn't even a question back then it was just like you saw it on the news and you believed it I know I can't believe how many things in my life that I thought was true that now I'm like oh my god and it kind of breaks me a little bit like the more I I dig in, the more I hear the truth out there just makes me really disappointed in humanity and where we're at today. Do you feel that sometimes when you're hearing all this? For sure. Yeah. If you zoom

out, we're definitely pawns in the big game. Like there's people behind the scenes that are really running the shots. So you can think of it that way. But I just try to do what I can and, you know, spread the message. We'll see what happens. But yeah, you could definitely get wrapped up in this, this whole conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Another thing that I follow is the solar flares. I don't know if Jen told you, like, I'm always affected by them. I don't even have to look like I know when I'm experiencing them. And this started like three years ago. Have you ever watched Suspicious Observers? No. Every single morning he does a solar forecast. And so when I would feel weird or if I couldn't sleep or if I felt anxious, it wasn't anxiety. What it was,

was a storm, a CME that was hitting earth and I was experiencing it. They really do affect our body. I mean, they cause heart palpitations, like all the areas where you have a lot of plasma are affected. So like your hips, shoulders, I'm seeing a lot of that where, you know, we're moving into solar maximum. Have you had anybody on talking about solar storms? No, I haven't even heard of these. You do. The sun goes through a cycle from maximum to minimum. And right now we're at maximum like for the next year. And I actually have clients who work for Space Force because I live like a few miles away from it. Yeah. And of course, this is something they're concerned about. But it used to not be a big deal because we had a very strong magnetic field. But now we don't. So if you've noticed that over the summer until now, we've had really

shitty connections. Like there's been days where I mean, I'm like, I can't upload anything. I can't make calls. My phone's flickering weird stuff. But yeah, I mean, the satellites are very affected. It's not that the sun's going to come down and burn us up. Wow. Now that you've said that, yeah, I've had some weird calls, like just drop or like just weird background noise. So that's interesting. I bet you any time that you're experiencing that, if you looked up NOAA's KP index, there's probably something going on. This is why you can see

the Northern Lights in Mississippi. You're not supposed to. Dang, I need to have on an expert in that field on the show. Yes. And suspicious observers would probably be the best because this cycle is a part of a bigger cycle. The last big cycle like poles shifting and a big flood. And this matches up to what I saw in the news yesterday with these FBI whistleblowers saying like holes shifting and a big flood. No way. What would be next to come. And this matches up to what I saw on the news yesterday with these FBI whistleblowers saying stock up on food and water for three to four months. Wow.

They are really trying to warn people. Yeah, I need to. I got some information. Yeah, I got some MREs from Costco the other day, but I might need to get some more. And he has an observer ranch in Colorado Springs. If you ever want to come out here and go, he actually welcomes people there. He does a whole presentation. We'll show you what you need to do to prepare. Wow. Yeah. We got a

better safe than sorry. I mean, who knows if this will happen, but we might as well just have three months in case. I know. Well, if you saw the information he has you'd be a believer and you know what is so funny in his chat all you'll see is i can't believe the world doesn't know this like i cannot believe the world is not aware of this wow he has that much evidence that's crazy yeah for sure if you want to ever come out here, maybe you and Jen can take a trip out here and we'll go and hit the ranch. That'd be so fun. I've been meaning to go out there to Colorado. I haven't filmed there yet. I just love the way you're doing, Sean. It's so important right now. I am such a fan of yours for what you're doing. And I feel like we need more people like you. I appreciate that. for what you're doing and i feel like we need more people like you you know to you know offer

the space to put the truth out there yeah i think that's what show should be i i mean i watched like a talk show the other night i used to watch those growing up and it just seems so fake like it was so scripted it's like how do people even watch that? It's so disingenuous, you know? I feel that way about the news. Yeah, for sure about the news. I'm like, I can't watch the news like on actual television. I have to like watch on YouTube. Well, don't hold it in. You just let it out.

Everyone will still love you. Yeah. You're doing awesome. And I do hope to meet you one day. Oh, we'll meet. Okay. Sounds good. Tell everybody where they could find you. Do you have a website that you want to throw out there too? Yeah. Digitalsocialhour.com. And that's the name of the podcast as well. That'll be the best place to start for people.

All right. And go check out that Glittergate conspiracy too, Sean. For real. You got a lot of homework for me today. All right. All right. Thank you. See you later. Bye.
