A mentor once shared a simple truth: 'Hurting people hurt people.' This perspective shifts how we view anger and conflict. Instead of taking things personally, it encourages empathy and a desire to help solve the underlying heartache.

Had an absolute blast having Kinsley Jordan on the Rooster AM Podcast with Ryan Nelson. This is one you are not going to want to miss. We laughed, had some great conversation, and got beyond the headlines to really get to know the person behind the name.

Whether you know Kinsley already or are just curious about the people helping shape Enid, this episode gives you a chance to see the heart, personality, and passion of a great Enid leader.

Had a great conversation with Katie Crawford on the latest episode of Rooster AM, and it is one of those talks that reminds you how many good people are quietly doing important work in our communities.

Katie and I sat down and talked about life, purpose, serving others, and what it really takes to invest in the next generation. She brings a ton of heart to everything she does, and you can hear that passion all throughout this episode.

Thank you Manopolis for sponsoring this episode.

The Apollo 1 fire tragically claimed three lives due to a combination of factors. A pure oxygen environment, highly flammable materials like Velcro, and a faulty wire causing a spark led to a flash fire. The capsule's design, with inward-opening doors and extreme pressure, made escape impossible, resulting in asphyxiation for the astronauts.

A tiny detail nearly derailed Apollo 11. The engine start switch broke! Buzz Aldrin used a pen to manually flip it, saving the mission. Imagine how close history came to changing.

I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Ron Wade, a NASA engineer, on Rooster AM… and I’ll be honest, I did not want the conversation to end.

We talked about the Challenger disaster.
We talked about space exploration.
We talked about mistakes, pressure, politics, and the human cost behind innovation.
We talked about the moon landing, what it took, what it meant, and the brilliance it required.

And then we went somewhere I didn’t expect…

We talked about faith.

Not surface level stuff. Real conversations about how science and faith intersect. About how failure doesn’t define a mission. About how risk is part of doing something that matters.

NASA has had incredible success. NASA has also had devastating moments. What struck me most was this behind every rocket launch is a team of human beings making the best decisions they can with the information they have. That hits home in life too.

It’s a long episode. I tried to wrap it up multiple times… and every time Ron dropped another story that made me say, “Okay, we have to keep going.”

If you’ve ever looked up at the night sky and wondered how we got there…

If you’ve ever wrestled with big questions about faith and science…
If you’ve ever failed and wondered how to move forward…

You need to hear this one.

Proud of this conversation. Proud that Rooster AM can host voices like this.

Go listen. Let’s talk about it.

Fascinating conversation you don't want to miss with Ron Wade.

"I Wrote Songs as a Kid. I Wrote Them Again Because I Wasn’t Okay." - Ryan Nelson

When I was young, I wrote songs because everything felt big.
As an adult, I wrote again because everything felt heavy.

This podcast starts with the truth behind the music, the pain, the exaggerations, the moments of gratitude, and the lessons that changed how I see songwriting forever.

The music is for me.
If it connects with you, that’s the gift.

Sweet Revenge drops January 30. This is the song I’ve mentioned in the video, the one I almost didn’t release because it might be a little too savage.

Thank you Enid Buzz for the encouragement.
