Fishbowl Roulette is where real conversations meet a little bit of chaos.
Here’s the deal…
Every episode, my guest and I pull questions out of a fishbowl. We don’t know what’s coming next. It could be deep, funny, uncomfortable, outrageous, or surprisingly meaningful.
Just like life.
The bowls are filled with topics like beliefs, relationships, hot topics, wildcards, and the occasional “did we really just ask that?” question. The result is the kind of conversation you usually only hear around a dinner table with good friends after the second glass of wine.
No scripts.
No pretending.
Just honest people talking about real things.
Some episodes will make you laugh out loud. Some might make you think. And a few might poke at things we normally avoid saying out loud.
But that’s the point.
I believe people connect through authenticity, curiosity, and a little bit of courage. And when we’re willing to pull a question out of the bowl and go there, something interesting always happens.
So welcome to Fishbowl Roulette.
Pull up a chair.
You never know what question is coming next.

In this episode of Fishbowl Roulette, host Sandra welcomes local Cape Girardeau business owner James Faught for an unscripted, candid conversation.

The episode takes a deeper, more personal turn when James pulls a prompt forcing him to envision his niche as an online influencer outside of his current businesses. He opens up about his personal faith journey, detailing a pivotal business meeting that reignited his spiritual path and transformed his family's life. Together, Sandra and James reflect on the importance of real connections, finding peace and joy amidst life's hectic moments, and the value of staying grounded in what truly matters.
