I'm just your average, everyday guy using my drive home each day to talk about what is going on in the world and try to make sense of it all. Sometimes I'll be talking about politics, other times economics or current events. There is no script, no plan, just a guy in a truck.
Disney World with Kids: What Actually Worked (And What I’d Do Differently)
Planning a trip to Walt Disney World with kids?
After a full week at Disney, I’m breaking down what actually worked, what didn’t, and what I’d 100% do again.
In this Fun Friday episode of Just a Guy in a Truck, I share real-world tips from traveling with young kids and family—including how to survive the parks without burning out.
We talk about:
Why renting a stroller is a game-changer
Using mobility scooters for older family members
Whether Lightning Lane is worth the cost
How to pace your days without ruining the trip
And the unexpected highlight of the trip: Discovery Cove
If you’re heading to Disney—or just want to hear what it’s really like—this episode will help you plan smarter and enjoy it more.

Overwhelmed, Burned Out, and Watching the World Burn (How Do You Stay Sane?)
Feeling overwhelmed at work, burned out, and struggling to keep up with everything happening in the world?
You’re not alone.
In this episode of Just a Guy in a Truck, I open up about juggling multiple jobs after downsizing, trying to stay informed without destroying my mental health, and the emotional weight of watching global conflict unfold.
But in the middle of all that chaos, a trip to Walt Disney World reminded me of something important:
We’re still human.
No matter how divided things feel online or in politics, most people still care about the same things—family, connection, and making memories.
This episode is about:
Burnout and doing “more with less” at work
The mental toll of staying plugged into the news
Feeling powerless in a chaotic world
Why real life feels different from what we see online
How to find balance, perspective, and a little hope
Sometimes the answer isn’t tuning out completely—but learning how to stay grounded while everything feels like it’s falling apart.

Trying to Make Sense of the Iran Crisis
After nearly a month away, I’m back — and honestly, I still don’t know how to make sense of what’s happening.
With tensions escalating between the U.S. and Iran, and rhetoric from Donald Trump growing more intense, this episode is less about answers… and more about processing.
I talk through:
Why I stepped away from the podcast
The breakdown of diplomacy after the Iran Nuclear Deal
The fear and uncertainty around rapid escalation
Feeling powerless trying to understand decisions that don’t seem to make sense
And the human cost — the everyday people caught in the middle
This isn’t a polished take. It’s raw, frustrated, and honest.
Because sometimes you can’t neatly explain what’s happening — you can only react to it and try to process it in real time.
Just a guy in a truck trying to understand a moment that feels bigger than all of us.
