Breaking Bullying

100 episodes. Four years of conversations. And I’m still learning.

For Episode 100 of Breaking Bullying, I wanted to do something different.

Instead of telling one person’s story, I sat down with my friend Michael D. Cohen, best known as Schwoz from Nickelodeon’s Henry Danger and Danger Force, to talk about some of the most important things I’ve learned from the first 99 episodes.

We talk about bullying, confidence, connection, listening, the importance of having that one person in your corner, and why helping someone doesn’t always mean having all the answers.

Michael has supported Breaking Bullying and Karate Chop Bullying from the beginning, so I couldn’t think of a better person to have this conversation with.

Workplace bullying isn't always obvious.

For Eliana Barosco, it was constant criticism, being called out in emails, and eventually questioning whether she was actually the problem.

But her story didn't end there.

She found her voice, stood up for herself, and fought back.

Weather forecasts don't always go as planned. But when does criticism cross the line into bullying?

In this episode of Breaking Bullying, I talk with Lane from Midwest Weather about the criticism that comes with forecasting weather for more than 250,000 followers, including criticism from others in the weather industry.

It's a side of weather forecasting most of us probably never think about.

What if the people who damaged your confidence weren't other kids?

In this week's episode of the Breaking Bullying Podcast, I sit down with Tyler Uriah to discuss a side of bullying that doesn't get talked about enough.

Growing up, Tyler was told he would never amount to anything. Those words followed him for years and shaped how he saw himself.

We talk about confidence, self-worth, overcoming labels, and why the words adults use can have a lasting impact on a child.

This is a powerful conversation for parents, educators, and anyone who has ever felt written off by others.

Most people think martial arts is just about punches and kicks.
But for many kids… it’s where confidence starts.

In this new episode of the Breaking Bullying Podcast, I sit down with Michael Matsuda, founder of the Martial Arts History Museum, to talk about bullying, confidence, emotional control, and why martial arts impacts kids differently than many traditional sports programs.

We also share personal stories about struggling with confidence growing up and how martial arts changed our lives.

What happens when a child grows up surrounded by violence, gangs, fighting, and constant school suspensions?

In Episode 95 of Breaking Bullying, Madison Phillips shares how being the “new kid” in violent school environments led to bullying, pressure to join gangs, and eventually being jumped by over 20 students at school.

But this episode is about more than violence.

It’s about how environment shapes behavior… and how caring adults can completely change a child’s future.

This was a powerful conversation about survival, school culture, bullying, resilience, and overcoming adversity.

People think bullying ends after school.
It doesn’t.

In this episode of Breaking Bullying, I talk with Wade Simmons about his experience being bullied as an adult while training in pro wrestling.

This wasn’t physical.
It was public embarrassment, pressure, and mental games.

We break down:
• what adult bullying actually looks like
• why it’s not always easy to respond
• and how to handle it without making things worse

This is something more people deal with than we realize.
