In this deeply personal solo episode, Steven steps behind the mic—without his usual co-host—for a conversation that none of us ever want to have, but all of us will one day face.

Just days ago, Steven’s world changed with a single, gut-wrenching phone call: the sudden loss of his father in an unforeseen accident.

Today, he opens up—not as a podcast host, but as a grieving son.

With raw honesty and unwavering courage, Steven shares what it’s like to navigate the initial shock, the emotional chaos, and the hollow spaces that follow a loss like this. He reflects on the things left unsaid, the strength found in unexpected places, and how he’s coping in real time—no script, no filters.

This episode isn’t just about grief. It’s about love. It’s about legacy. And it’s a powerful reminder to hold our people close while we still can.

If you’ve ever experienced the pain of sudden loss—or if you’re simply human—this one will stay with you long after the credits roll.

🕯️ Dedicated to Steven’s father.
