Building a Podcast That Lasts: Lessons with Bruce Wawrzyniak (Ep. 251)

Building a Podcast That Lasts: Lessons with Bruce Wawrzyniak (Ep. 251)
<p>Tonight I broadcast live from Eagle Pass with veteran publicist and podcaster Bruce Bruce Wawrzyniak (Now Hear This Inc.; host of Now Hear This Entertainment and Catholic Sports Radio). <br /><br />We swap hard‑earned lessons from thousands of episodes: building a long‑running show, establishing your on‑mic identity, booking and preparing guests, handling no‑shows, choosing audio‑only vs. video, and why sound quality and consistency are a host’s unbreakable contract with listeners.<br /><br />Bruce shares how faith informs his work, the origin of his weekly “ministry moment,” landing marquee interviews (Mark Wahlberg, Mario Lopez, Lou Holtz, Mario Andretti), and practical guerrilla promotion tactics that actually work.<br /><br />We also talk live vs. recorded workflows, transparency about costs, and where podcasting is headed as shows move onto big streaming stages—all delivered in a laid‑back, two‑friends‑talking vibe that podcasters and fans will appreciate.<br /><br />Stick around for insights on guest etiquette, show structure that highlights credibility before the pitch, and how perseverance (and a few acoustic panels) can carry a creator through years of weekly releases.<br /><br />Guest:<br />Bruce Wawrzyniak<br /><a href="https://www.now-hear-this.net/content/podcast" target="_blank">https://www.now-hear-this.net/content/podcast</a><br /><br /></p> <p>Joe's GoFundMe: <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortage" target="_blank">https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortage</a><br /><br />FOLLOW US ON:<br />RUMBLE: <a href="https://rumble.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://rumble.com/joerooz</a><br />YouTube: <a href="https://youtube.com/@joerooz" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/@joerooz</a><br />TWITCH: <a href="https://twitch.tv/joerooz" target="_blank">https://twitch.tv/joerooz</a><br />X: <a href="https://x.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://x.com/joerooz</a><br />Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/joeroozshow" target="_blank">https://facebook.com/joeroozshow</a><br />Minds: <a href="https://minds.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://minds.com/joerooz</a><br />GETTR: <a href="https://gettr.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://gettr.com/joerooz</a><br /><br /> Want to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

Let Fear Bounce: Veterans’ Stories, PTSD, and the Kindness Our Pets Teach Us (Ep. 250)
FEB 4, 2026
Let Fear Bounce: Veterans’ Stories, PTSD, and the Kindness Our Pets Teach Us (Ep. 250)
<p>Broadcasting live from the Asylum in Eagle Pass, I kick things off with an update about last night’s no‑show guest, the realities of running a live program, and a quick celebration of our new studio mic emblem finally arriving after a postal detour.&nbsp;<br /><br />Then we dive into a warm, wide‑ranging conversation with author and podcast host Kim Lengling. We cover her path from delivering a moving speech about her World War I veteran grandfather to writing a 14‑year veterans newspaper column, powerful interviews with WWII and Vietnam vets, and how those stories shaped her voice. Kim opens up about living with PTSD, why she built a “toolbox” for resilience, and how animals—especially her dogs Digger and Dexter—teach patience, presence, and kindness.<br /><br />We swap heartfelt and funny pet stories (yes, Frenchie antics and midnight bird rescues), talk live vs. recorded podcasting, authenticity on mic and camera, and choosing hope over doom‑scrolling. Kim also shares the heart behind her book “15 Ways Pets Teach Us Kindness,” her show “Let Fear Bounce,” and why simple acts of kindness always matter. Resources and links mentioned (non‑sponsored):<br /><br />• Kim Lengling’s website: kimlenglingauthor.com (books, podcast, blog, and “meet Dexter”)<br />• Let Fear Bounce podcast: Available on YouTube, Spotify, and major platforms<br />• 15 Ways Pets Teach Us Kindness (ebook on Amazon)<br /><br />Guest:<br />Kim Lengling<br />www.kimlenglingauthor.com<br /><br /></p> <p>Joe's GoFundMe: <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortage" target="_blank">https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortage</a><br /><br />FOLLOW US ON:<br />RUMBLE: <a href="https://rumble.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://rumble.com/joerooz</a><br />YouTube: <a href="https://youtube.com/@joerooz" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/@joerooz</a><br />TWITCH: <a href="https://twitch.tv/joerooz" target="_blank">https://twitch.tv/joerooz</a><br />X: <a href="https://x.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://x.com/joerooz</a><br />Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/joeroozshow" target="_blank">https://facebook.com/joeroozshow</a><br />Minds: <a href="https://minds.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://minds.com/joerooz</a><br />GETTR: <a href="https://gettr.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://gettr.com/joerooz</a><br /><br /> Want to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

From Curse to Restoration: The Coming Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ (Ep. 249)
FEB 1, 2026
From Curse to Restoration: The Coming Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ (Ep. 249)
<p>In this week’s Bible Study Sunday, I guide you through a rich, big-picture look at the Millennium—the 1,000-year reign of Christ—as part 17 in our Dispensational Truth series. We explore the “day of regeneration,” why Scripture frames history in sevens and eights, and how the Millennium functions as the earth’s Sabbath rest with peace, justice, and a transformed creation.<br /><br />I walk through the government of the Kingdom (Christ ruling from Jerusalem with a rod of iron), who inhabits it (church-age saints, converted Israel, and Tribulation survivors), what millennial worship looks like (restored temple worship and national atonement), and how salvation operates in that age. We also consider the end-of-Millennium rebellion, and the profound joy of serving the King in glorified bodies, ruling and reigning in perfect justice and peace.<br /><br />Drawing from passages across Revelation, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah, Matthew, and more, we connect prophetic dots: the judgment of the nations, restored creation, unified language, global prosperity, and the practical implications of reigning with Christ. I close by previewing next week’s finale on Eternity and our upcoming series through Revelation, inviting you to reflect on living faithfully now in light of the Kingdom to come.<br /><br /><br /></p> <p>Joe's GoFundMe: <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortage" target="_blank">https://www.gofundme.com/f/raise-funds-to-cover-mortgage-escrow-shortage</a><br /><br />FOLLOW US ON:<br />RUMBLE: <a href="https://rumble.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://rumble.com/joerooz</a><br />YouTube: <a href="https://youtube.com/@joerooz" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/@joerooz</a><br />TWITCH: <a href="https://twitch.tv/joerooz" target="_blank">https://twitch.tv/joerooz</a><br />X: <a href="https://x.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://x.com/joerooz</a><br />Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/joeroozshow" target="_blank">https://facebook.com/joeroozshow</a><br />Minds: <a href="https://minds.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://minds.com/joerooz</a><br />GETTR: <a href="https://gettr.com/joerooz" target="_blank">https://gettr.com/joerooz</a><br /><br /> Want to be a guest on The Joe Rooz Show?

Crypto Psychic Marisa Lee: XRP 2026 Prediction, Clarity Act & Tokenized Stock Market (Ep. 248)

Crypto Psychic Marisa Lee: XRP 2026 Prediction, Clarity Act & Tokenized Stock Market (Ep. 248)
<p>Live from the Asylum, in Eagle Pass, I sat down with our resident crypto psychic, Marisa Lee, for a fast, funny, and wide‑ranging crypto check‑in.<br /><br />We dug into why tokenized equities and 24/7 settlement could be a turning point for retail and institutions alike, what chains might see the first wave of adoption (Ethereum, Solana, BNB, Polygon, Ondo—and why Algorand could surprise), and why clear legislation is the final unlock for real capital inflows.<br /><br />We also touched on the current lull, why buying red days requires patience, and how to protect gains during sharp run‑ups.<br /><br />From stablecoins to precious metals, we talked Tether’s gold buys, volatility in silver, and how macro shifts (rate policy, market structure, and leadership changes) may ripple through 2026.<br /><br />Marisa shared specific outlooks—her high‑end XRP scenario and a longer‑arc view on Solana and Algorand—along with practical reminders: buy low, scale in, don’t panic‑sell, and remember this is not financial advice.<br /><br />We closed with her spiritual perspective on staying grounded amid headlines, plus where to find her monthly crypto report and readings.<br /><br />Guest:<br />Crypto Psychic Marisa Lee<br /><a href="https://sacredtarotcardreadings.com" target="_blank">https://sacredtarotcardreadings.com</a><br /><a href="https://patreon.com/cryptopsychic" target="_blank">https://patreon.com/cryptopsychic</a><br /><br /><ul><li>'The Joe Rooz Show' on Rumble: <a href="https://rumble.com/JoeRooz" target="_blank">https://rumble.com/JoeRooz</a></li><li>The Joe Rooz Show (official site): <a href="https://www.joerooz.com" target="_blank">https://www.joerooz.com</a></li><li>Marisa (Marissa) Lee – Sacred Tarot Card Readings (guest site): <a href="https://www.sacredtarotcardreadings.com" target="_blank">https://www.sacredtarotcardreadings.com</a></li><li>Marisa Lee on Patreon – Crypto Psychic: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cryptopsychic" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/cryptopsychic</a></li><li>New York Stock Exchange (NYSE): <a href="https://www.nyse.com" target="_blank">https://www.nyse.com</a></li><li>Ethereum (official): <a href="https://ethereum.org" target="_blank">https://ethereum.org</a></li><li>Solana (official): <a href="https://solana.com" target="_blank">https://solana.com</a></li><li>BNB Chain (official): <a href="https://www.bnbchain.org/en" target="_blank">https://www.bnbchain.org/en</a></li><li>Polygon (official): <a href="https://polygon.technology" target="_blank">https://polygon.technology</a></li><li>Ondo Finance (official): <a href="https://ondo.finance" target="_blank">https://ondo.finance</a></li><li>Algorand (official): <a href="https://www.algorand.com" target="_blank">https://www.algorand.com</a></li><li>Ripple – XRP overview: <a href="https://ripple.com/xrp/" target="_blank">https://ripple.com/xrp/</a></li><li>Tether (USDT issuer): <a href="https://tether.to" target="_blank">https://tether.to</a></li><li>World Liberty Financial (WLFI / USD1): <a href="https://worldlibertyfinancial.com" target="_blank">https://worldlibertyfinancial.com</a></li><li>Brad Garlinghouse – Ripple leadership: <a href="https://ripple.com/company/leadership/" target="_blank">https://ripple.com/company/leadership/</a></li><li>Staci (Stacey) Warden – Algorand Foundation announcement: <a href="https://algorand.co/news/staci-warden-ceo" target="_blank">https://algorand.co/news/staci-warden-ceo</a></li><li>Federal Reserve Board – Jerome Powell bio: <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/bios/board/powell.htm" target="_blank">https://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/bios/board/powell.htm</a></li><li>U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (official): <a href="https://www.durbin.senate.gov" target="_blank">https://www.durbin.senate.gov</a></li><li>California Governor Gavin Newsom (official): <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov" target="_blank">https://www.gov.ca.gov</a></li><li>U.S. Rep.

Hidden Signals: How Narratives Shape Reality (Ep. 247)
<p>In this episode, I welcome back Dr. Don Weber—communication strategist, executive coach, and founder of Dr. Weber Coaching—for a spirited, wide-ranging conversation on influence, persuasion, and how communication shapes power from boardrooms to geopolitics. We dive into political leadership styles, media narratives, information warfare, and the mechanics of propaganda, using recent events in Venezuela and unfolding unrest in Minnesota as real-time case studies. <br /><br />Don shares first-hand regional insights, explores how strategic messaging, suppression, and perception-shaping operate, and unpacks the global stakes around energy, security, and great-power competition.<br /><br />We also discuss polarization at home, the lure of professionalized protests, and how disinformation fuels division—while reflecting on the timeless “golden rule” as a compass for public life and leadership. We close with Don’s current projects, his upcoming Europe trip, and resources for listeners who want to sharpen their own communication and leadership edge.<br /><br />Catch the show live weeknights at 7 PM CT/8 PM ET and join the conversation by liking, subscribing, and sharing.
