Every person has a story—but the way we choose to use it can make a lasting impact.

From his early aspirations in Battle Creek to anchoring one of Houston's top morning news programs, DaLaun shares how perseverance, preparation, and purpose shaped his career.
The conversation goes beyond journalism, exploring the responsibility that comes with having a platform, the importance of authentic storytelling, and why positive representation matters in today's world. DaLaun also reflects on the sacrifices behind success, handling pressure in the public eye, and the mentors who helped shape his path.
The episode concludes with a compelling Ask Sarg discussion on public trust, media, and law enforcement, highlighting the value of honest conversations and community engagement.

The Men Who Showed Up — Father's Day, Mentorship & Men's Mental Health
As Father's Day approaches, we're honoring the fathers, coaches, teachers, mentors, and everyday men who continue to show up for the people they love. But behind the strength so many men display are pressures that often go unseen.
In this episode, Cooley and Stu have an honest conversation about what boys learn from the men in their lives, why emotional intelligence is a sign of strength, and the unhealthy cycle of believing that "being strong" means staying silent. They discuss the weight men carry—from financial pressure and career stress to loneliness, fear of failure, and the expectation to always have the answers.
The episode also features an impactful Ask Sarg segment, where lessons from law enforcement offer a powerful perspective on recognizing crisis, building community, and why asking for help is one of the strongest things a man can do.
This conversation is a reminder that functioning isn't the same as thriving, and that the men who always seem strongest may need support the most.
Key Takeaways:
Why "man up" culture can be harmful
The importance of healthy male role models
Men's mental health and the pressures many carry in silence
Raising boys who are both resilient and emotionally healthy
Why checking on the "strong friend" matters
The example fathers, coaches, and mentors set every day
