| 6/22/26 |  Rebuilding Strength, Flexibility and Energy with Jason Gagne | Most fitness programs are designed for people who are already in shape — but what about everyone else? In this episode of Finding Freedom, host John welcomes back certified personal trainer and health coach Jason Gagne, creator of the Good to Go Body 90-day program, built specifically for people starting from scratch. Jason shares his remarkable personal story of rebuilding his body after a series of childhood surgeries that left him bedridden for years, and how that experience shaped a training philosophy rooted in patience, flexibility, and consistency over intensity. The two dig into why flexibility — not strength — is the key to feeling young again, why men typically need a "scare" before they take their health seriously, and how small daily habits compound into transformational results. Whether you wake up stiff, can't remember the last time you exercised, or just want to move without pain, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

| 6/15/26 |  The Fight to Keep the Ballot Box Exclusively for Citizens with Jack Tomczak | Most Americans — across every party, gender, and demographic — agree that only US citizens should vote in US elections, yet here we are having to fight for something that sounds like the most obvious principle in the world. I sat down with Jack Tomczak from Americans for Citizen Voting to break down exactly how we got here: a constitutional loophole that could allow non-citizens to vote in congressional elections if a state legalizes non-citizen voting at the state legislative level. Jack's organization has already amended the constitutions of 15 states to close this door, and now they're pushing House Joint Resolution 152 through Congress to lock it in federally. With 90% of Americans on board — a number that makes even voter ID look controversial by comparison — this should be a layup, yet the politics are anything but simple. We dig into the LA mayor's race, the erosion of trust in our elections, and why the only honest reason to oppose this amendment is if you actually want non-citizens voting. Jack's optimistic it can get through Congress this summer, and honestly, after hearing his case, it's hard not to share that optimism.

| 2/16/26 |  Leadership Under Fire with Jeremy Stalnecker | In this episode of Finding Freedom, host John Odermatt sits down with Jeremy Stalnecker, former US Marine Corps infantry officer, combat veteran, and executive director of Mighty Oaks Foundation. Jeremy shares his journey from leading Marines during the 2003 invasion of Iraq to struggling with identity loss after leaving the military, and ultimately finding purpose through faith-based veteran support work. The conversation explores how military service creates a deeply ingrained identity that can leave veterans lost when they transition to civilian life, often leading to anger, isolation, and even suicidal thoughts. Jeremy explains how Mighty Oaks Foundation addresses the root cause—identity crisis—rather than just treating symptoms, helping over 7,000 veterans, first responders, and their spouses rebuild their lives on a foundation of faith and purpose. The discussion covers leadership principles from Jeremy's book "Leadership by Design," emphasizing that true leadership is about serving others and helping them reach their potential, not about rank or authority. Jeremy advocates for a holistic approach to veteran care that combines clinical therapies with spiritual foundation, arguing that without clarity on identity and purpose, other interventions fall short. The episode concludes with information on how Mighty Oaks provides free five-day programs and ongoing aftercare to help those struggling with post-traumatic stress and transition challenges.

| 2/9/26 |  GLP-1 Override or Restoration | In this episode of Finding Freedom, host John Odermatt examines the rise of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, exploring how they work by overriding the body's natural hunger signaling through synthetic peptides inspired by Gila monster venom. While acknowledging these medications have legitimate applications for severe obesity and diabetes, John raises concerns about FDA-listed side effects including muscle loss, stomach paralysis, and thyroid tumor warnings, especially as Trump's new RX.gov platform makes these drugs more affordable and accessible. Drawing from his personal experience losing 50 pounds and maintaining the weight loss, John argues that synthetic GLP-1s don't address root metabolic dysfunction caused by poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, and chronic inflammation. He advocates for natural alternatives like berberine, chromium polynicotinate, and polydextrose fiber that support the body's own GLP-1 production rather than overriding it. John emphasizes the importance of building sustainable habits through diet, exercise, and supplementation that restore metabolic function instead of creating pharmaceutical dependency. The episode concludes with a call to prioritize long-term health over quick fixes, warning that rapid weight loss without muscle maintenance could lead to premature aging and sarcopenia.

| 2/3/26 |  Why is Everyone Suddenly Sick All the Time | In this episode of Finding Freedom, John explores why it feels like everyone is constantly sick—and the data proves it's not just your imagination. With flu-like illnesses reaching their highest levels in the U.S. in 25 years, John breaks down the real reasons behind our declining immune health. From chronic stress and sleep deprivation to nutrient-depleted food and gut health issues, he examines how modern life is quietly overwhelming our immune systems. John shares practical, actionable strategies to take control of your health, including the importance of movement, real food, supplements, and stress reduction. This episode is a wake-up call to stop being a victim of circumstance and start being proactive about your wellbeing.

| 1/26/26 |  Institutional Capture in the U.S. Military with Dr. Chase Spears | The military is supposed to be apolitical, but what happens when ideology quietly replaces constitutional accountability? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chase Spears, a 20-year U.S. Army combat veteran who walked away from a major promotion to speak out about what's really happening inside our armed forces. We dive deep into how DEI policies have infiltrated the military, eroding trust, readiness, and the ability of service members to speak truth. Chase shares his firsthand experience watching the institution transform from 2003 to 2023, the consequences he faced for standing on his convictions, and why he ultimately chose conscience over career. This isn't just about the military—it's about institutional capture across America and what it takes to fight back. If you care about national defense, freedom, and moral courage, this conversation is a must-listen. Chase's message to current service members is clear: stop talking, start doing.

| 1/19/26 |  Rebuilding America’s Broken Political System with Travis Misurell | In this episode, I sit down with Travis Misurell, founder of Fink (Future Is Coalition), to discuss his ambitious plan to rebuild America's broken political system from the ground up. Travis explains how the real problem isn't left versus right ideology, but rather "up versus down" – politicians serving big donors versus those serving everyday voters. We dive into his vision for new civic infrastructure that gives citizens transparent access to politician report cards, campaign funding sources, voting records, and broken promises all in one digital hub. The goal is to level the playing field so grassroots candidates don't need millions of dollars to compete with establishment politicians who are bought and paid for by special interests. Travis shares how this citizen-owned platform will connect voters directly with candidates, journalists, and movements without party gatekeepers controlling the narrative. We discuss the challenges of preventing bias, the timeline for launch (aiming for some features by the 2026 midterms), and how everyday Americans can get involved as "citizen architects" to help build this new system. This is about creating real accountability and giving power back to the people – not just switching which party is in charge.

| 1/12/26 |  How DEI Captured School Counseling with Alvin Lui | In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Alvin Lui, president of Courage is a Habit, to expose how the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) has systematically embedded DEI and gender ideology into K-12 counseling nationwide. We break down their investigative report that reveals how school counselors have transformed from reactive guidance counselors into proactive "social change agents" who work one-on-one with children—often keeping secrets from parents. Alvin explains the dangerous tactics of "language contamination," where terms like "anti-bullying," "mental health," and "safe spaces" are weaponized to push transgender ideology and critical race theory while silencing dissenting students and parents. This isn't just happening in blue states—it's a systemic problem in all 50 states, funded by mental health grants that parents unknowingly support through their tax dollars. Whether your kids are in public school or you know someone whose children are, this conversation is essential viewing. We discuss warning signs, the indoctrination pipeline, and most importantly, what parents can do right now to protect their children. This is about our kids' futures, and it's time to fight back.
