EP. 13 — Survival | Discipline, Clarity & Staying Upright | Louder Than My Demons

EP. 13 — Survival

This episode is about survival — nothing more, nothing less.

No polish.
No performance.
Just staying upright when things get heavy and continuing to move forward.

This is a special, limited episode of Louder Than My Demons, recorded without a script and without a filter. It’s about discipline, clarity, and what it actually takes to keep going when motivation runs out.

Season One is coming to a close.

Next week, we release the Season One Finale — a full reckoning of what was built, what was learned, and what comes next.

Season Two of Louder Than My Demons begins February 27th, introducing:

Outlaw Logic — a new weekly short-form message built around discipline and action

RED 22 — a monthly episode on the 22nd, spotlighting veteran issues and suicide awareness

Demon Cuts — continuing twice a month

Same mission.
Stronger footing.

Thanks for being here.

EP. 12 — The Outlaw King: David | Discipline, Faith & the Warrior’s Path | Louder Than My Demons

This year, the story of David stopped feeling like scripture and started feeling like survival.

In this episode of Louder Than My Demons, I look at David not as a polished hero, but as what he really was — a shepherd, a warrior, an outlaw, a king… and a man who fell hard and kept going.

David didn’t rise because he was perfect.
He rose because he learned discipline in obscurity, restraint under pressure, and humility after failure.

We walk through the real arc of David’s life — the fields, the fight, the caves, the crown, and the consequences — and I break it down through the Five S’s that have carried me through my own rebuilding:

• Sobriety — clarity over numbness
• Spirituality — honest faith, not performance
• Self-Care — training the body to steady the mind
• Strength — consistency over rage
• Songwriting — turning chaos into something that survives

This episode isn’t about being holier than anyone else.
It’s about being honest.
About learning how to stand again after the fall.
About becoming an outlaw when the system breaks you — and a king when you stop breaking yourself.

🎸 Beyond the Song:
I reflect on “40” by U2, a modern psalm rooted in David’s words, and why it resonated so deeply during a year of rebuilding.

If you’ve ever felt overlooked, exposed, or unsure of who you are after everything changed — this one’s for you.

Jimmy Page – Outrider: The Rebirth of a Legend | Demon Cuts

Jimmy Page’s 1988 solo album Outrider wasn’t a comeback — it was a rebirth.
Born from stolen demos, addiction battles, the shadow of Led Zeppelin, and the fire that never left his hands, Page created one of the most underrated albums of his entire career.

In this episode of Demon Cuts, we break down:

🔥 Wasting My Time — John Miles lighting the fuse
🔥 Writes of Winter — the Grammy-nominated instrumental
🔥 The Only One — Page, Plant, and Jason Bonham reunited
🔥 Emerald Eyes — the closest Outrider gets to late-era Zeppelin
🔥 Blues Anthem — Chris Farlowe sounding more Mississippi than British

We also explore:

the stolen demo tapes

the Bonham bloodline

the Page–Plant spark hidden in the ’80s

the Kramer guitar shock

why critics completely missed the brilliance of this record

how Outrider led directly to No Quarter and the Page–Plant revival

This album hits DIFFERENT when you’re rebuilding your life.
Jimmy Page didn’t try to remake Zeppelin — he made a survivor’s record.

If this episode cut you open, share it. Spread it. Pass it to someone who needs the fire.

Mission 22. Stop Soldier Suicide.
We honor every veteran still fighting their battles.

Next week: The Black Crowes – Amorica

Why I Took the Plea Deal

In case you missed this…
I took a plea deal so I could get out, stay sober, and fight to be in my daughter’s life.
It wasn’t the road I wanted, but it was the road that kept me here, rebuilding, one day at a time.
Sometimes survival means choosing the path that lets you keep moving.
