Papoppin isn’t chasing clout — he’s building culture.

In this episode, we sit down with the man behind the Papoppin brand, a platform created to spotlight indie artists who deserve recognition. He finds real joy in highlighting talent that people may not know yet — but absolutely should.

We talk about:

• Growing up an only child

• Becoming a husband and father

• The music that shaped his taste

• And how faith continues to guide his path

We also unpack what it really means to outgrow your circle when you’re evolving.

On Patreon, we go even deeper:

• What are you unlearning?

• The mental health impact of social media

• And a real conversation about heaven and hell

This episode is about growth, faith, and using your voice to lift others.

We also break down how pop culture and Hollywood have fueled our fears about technology for decades, and question if we’re really thinking for ourselves... or just buying into the narratives we’ve been sold.Before we wrap, we take a hard look at the U.S. government — calling out how everyday citizens are being scammed right under their noses.It’s a real, raw, and necessary conversation about the world we're living in and where it's heading.Tap in — you’re gonna want to hear this.
