The second hour opens with an exclusive interview with Candi Carter, CEO and Founder of Cistus Media, the innovative e‑commerce company reshaping how networks and creators monetize their audiences. A multi‑Emmy Award‑winning executive producer with more than three decades in television — from The Oprah Winfrey Show to The View to Tamron Hall — she also brings a deeply personal mission as the founder of We’ve Got Friends, the New Jersey nonprofit creating inclusive social spaces for teens with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The show wraps with Prof. J. Eric Oliver, a political scientist and social‑psychology researcher whose work uncovers the hidden intuitions and unconscious habits that shape how we think and behave; his book How to Know Your Self offers a clear, science‑driven guide to understanding identity and the inner forces that steer our lives.

Hour 2: Candi Carter on Reinventing Creator Commerce | Prof. J. Eric Oliver on How to Know Your Self

Episode 97 begins with the Pentagon’s stunning release of 162 “never‑before‑seen” UFO files, shattering decades of official denial and igniting a national reckoning over what the government has really known. The hosts then explore how a long‑skeptical public — already primed by polls showing nearly half of Americans believe we’ve been visited — is now demanding answers as Washington finally admits it has been studying phenomena it couldn’t explain. The hour ends with an interview featuring Lt. Commander Jack Ratliff, who went from a rugged West Texas upbringing and rodeo bull-riding to Navy destroyer duty and the brutal Underwater Demolition Team training that helped shape the early SEALs. His memoir, Riding the White Bull, is a gritty, humorous coming-of-age story packed with hard-earned lessons on character and resilience.

The second hour explores America’s “always on” work culture — a system where late‑night pings, unpaid after‑hours labor, and digital tethering have quietly become the norm. The hosts argue that the fight for a legal right to disconnect is really a fight for boundaries, dignity, and the basic human right to reclaim your own time. The show then concludes with an interview featuring Bill Eddy, LCSW, JD — author of Why We Elect Narcissists and Sociopaths, a critical look at how high‑conflict personalities rise to power and what it means for the rest of us.
