How Social Media Algorithms Rewire Your Mind and Steal Your Peace, feat. Richard Ryan
Richard Ryan is a software developer and media executive with more than 20 years of experience in the tech industry. He has generated billions of views and millions of followers across social media platforms, leveraging his deep understanding of algorithms and digital marketing.As a co-founder of Black Rifle Coffee Company, he helped grow the brand to a publicly traded powerhouse with a $1.7 billion valuation and $396 million in revenue in 2023. As a tech entrepreneur, Richard has created a suite of applications to include a YouTube app that debuted in the App Store four years before YouTube. Across multiple apps, he’s achieved over millions of downloads. As a media executive, he launched Rated Red with Verizon Media and Hearst Publications, growing it to over one million organic subscribers in its first year. Richard’s YouTube empire includes several channels like FullMag (2.7 million subscribers), with over 20 billion views across all his platforms.In his new book, The Warrior’s Garden, Richard exposes how social media algorithms exploit the same psychological triggers as casinos: bright visuals, sound cues, and unpredictable rewards that hook users and keep them scrolling. Just as gamblers chase uncertain outcomes, we chase likes, comments, and notifications, sacrificing long-term goals for short-term gratification. He explores the neuroscience behind these dopamine-driven cycles and offers practical strategies to reclaim control. His book is not about quitting technology altogether, instead it focuses on using it consciously, minimizing addictive effects, strengthening mental resilience, and empowering readers to become mindful participants in a digital age.

The Secret Poisoning of U.S. Marines at Camp Lejeune, feat. Virginia Robinson and Ashley Keller
Virginia Robinson and her family moved to Camp Lejeune in 1959, a Marine Corps base in North Carolina. She raised her children there and dedicated 25 years of her life working on base, never knowing that the very place where she lived, worked, and built her family was slowly poisoning them. For decades, toxic chemicals such as PCE and TCE contaminated the water and air at Camp Lejeune. No one warned the families. And for Virginia, the consequences have been devastating. Virginia has endured a battle for her life that has spanned more than 40 years. She survived leukemia, colon cancer while pregnant, and two separate diagnoses of breast cancer. In 2023, she faced liver cancer, kidney cancer, and yet another fight with breast cancer, all at the same time. The tragedy has stretched across her family. Her husband passed away in 2014, her daughter followed just five months later, and her father developed Parkinson’s. Her daughter was born with a spinal tumor and died young from bladder cancer. All of them were exposed to Camp Lejeune’s poisoned water. Virginia’s suffering has been relentless, but so has her courage. Out of five siblings, she was the only one plagued by repeated cancers. Despite loss, grief, and years of illness, she refuses to give up. “Camp Lejeune never told us the truth,” she has said, but she still believes she can win this fight for herself, for her family, and for every victim who was left in the dark. For decades, families like hers have been ignored, their pain dismissed, and their sacrifices forgotten. Ashley Keller is a founding partner of Keller Postman LLC and one of the nation’s leading trial and appellate lawyers. At Keller Postman, he helps guide strategic direction across the firm’s wide-ranging docket, which includes product liability, antitrust, class action, and arbitration matters. He is a recognized leader in product-liability litigation and currently serves as court-appointed co-lead counsel in the Acetaminophen multidistrict litigation in the Southern District of New York. Ashley also represents numerous states in antitrust litigation against Google, challenging its dominance in online display advertising. He has played a key role in the development of Keller Postman’s arbitration practice, which has secured millions of dollars in settlements for employees and consumers nationwide. Before founding Keller Postman, Ashley co-founded Gerchen Keller Capital, which became the largest private investment manager focused on legal and regulatory risk. He was previously a partner at Bartlit Beck, where he litigated high-stakes securities, patent, and mass tort cases. Ashley clerked for Justice Anthony M. Kennedy on the United States Supreme Court and Judge Richard Posner on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College, earned his M.B.A. from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and graduated first in his class from the University of Chicago Law School. Keller has been recognized as a Plaintiffs’ Lawyers Trailblazer by the National Law Journal and has been listed among Lawdragon’s 500 Leading Lawyers in America. He will be representing Virginia Robinson in her fight for justice in the Camp Lejeune case.
