At 23, Bruce Bryan was arrested for a murder he didn't commit and sentenced to 37.5 years to life. It took 29 years — and a signature from Governor Kathy Hochul — for him to walk free.

In this episode, Bruce joins Kenny to talk about the wrongful conviction that stole nearly three decades of his life — a crooked prosecutor, an unfit defense attorney, and years spent in Rikers Island and Sing Sing. But more than that, it's a conversation about mindset: how he refused to let prison define him, the difference between loneliness and being alone, and how books like Man's Search for Meaning helped him turn his cell into a classroom.

Today, Bruce is a patent-holding inventor (Judge Score AI, built to help prevent wrongful convictions), a board member at the Jericho Project, and an advocate who now returns to Rikers to speak with the people the system forgot.

This is a conversation about hope, discipline, and what it really means to be strong.

Kenny Santucci sits down with Chris Davids (@EvolvedByChris) — a former physician turned attachment coach who dated 300+ women after his divorce and grew his following from 0 to 300K in six months by telling the truth about relationships.

They break down the anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles running most people's dating lives, why men and women process stress and "peace" completely differently, why chasing dopamine early kills relationships, and what women actually want from a man (hint: it's not his bank account).

In this episode:

• The 3 attachment styles that predict how someone dates
• Why "honesty" in dating isn't about looks or money
• Dopamine vs. oxytocin — why the honeymoon phase always ends
• Why smart people still make terrible relationship decisions
• What women actually want from a man
