In this jaw dropping episode - no pun intended! - I’m joined by Dr. Kalli Hale, airway dentist and founder of Toothpillow, to unpack the quiet but widespread crisis affecting children’s health today: improper breathing and airway development. We explore why so many kids are struggling with sleep, jaw development, and overall health, how poor airway health in childhood can ripple into adulthood, and why traditional orthodontics often misses the root cause.

Dr. Hale breaks down the difference between standard braces and airway-focused dentistry, the lifestyle and environmental factors shaping children’s breathing (from diet and allergens to tongue posture and sleep), and what parents can do now to support healthy development. We also talk about expanders, common breathing “band-aids,” whether adults can still improve their airway later in life, and why early intervention can make a profound difference in a child’s long-term health.

We discuss the rapidly changing world of commercial sexual exploitation and the rise of platforms like OnlyFans, the emergence of AI-generated pornography, and how these technologies are reshaping cultural attitudes toward sex, intimacy, and human dignity. Benjamin also shares insights from his latest documentary, Buying Her, which exposes the often-ignored demand side of the sex trade: the men who purchase sex.

In this episode, I sit down with debt elimination expert and The Ramsey Show co-host Jade Warshaw to unpack a truth most people never hear: your money problem isn’t about your income — it’s about your emotions. Jade shares her own journey from financial stress and overwhelm to becoming debt-free, and the rock-bottom moment that forced her to confront the beliefs and behaviors driving her spending. We talk about why making more money rarely fixes what’s actually broken, the biggest lie keeping families financially stuck, and why so many high-income earners are still drowning in debt.
