Antony sits down with Bo Loudon to discuss one of the darkest repercussions of social media - the proliferation of child trafficking. Bo speaks to the strengths and weaknesses of his generation, Gen Z, and the hardships of growing up in the digital age.

This generation has limitless access to knowledge and culture at the click of a button. With this knowledge comes great responsibility - because the world now has access to your children as well.

Trafficking is the most concerning and serious issues to rise out of the darkness of the digital age. Many children and parents do not know the harm they are in until it's too late. Lighthouse Edutainment aims a bright light on a dark subject and casts away the myths that plague so many youngsters today.

Antony enters the ring with martial arts legend Jared Gordon.

Most people know Jared as a successful UFC veteran who has gone to war inside the Octagon. What they don’t see is the fight that nearly killed him.

In this episode of The Antony Gordon Show, Jared discusses his struggles with addiction, self-destructive behavior, and the challenges of living in constant crisis. Jared knows rock bottom firsthand. He has lived the cycle of chasing escape, numbing pain, and mistaking chaos for strength. That is exactly why he is using his platform now - not to flex wins, but to warn people where unchecked addiction actually leads.

This conversation goes beyond substances. We get real about modern addictions - including social media - and how constant dopamine hits, comparison culture, and algorithm-driven validation keep people stuck in survival mode instead of building real lives.

Antony is joined by Henry Weingartener, lead guitarist of Laundry Day, together with Charlie Gross and Nick Greco, co-founders of Sounds of Saving, the leading non-profit using music as a tool to help thousands of people with mental health challenges like anxiety and depression.

They highlight the magnitude of the mental health pandemic so many youngsters are dealing with connected to social media - unrealistic expectations, living with a superficial persona in cyberspace, and chasing likes. They also discuss the universal power of music - both as a creative outlet, and a means of expression that parents and educators can use to get in touch with kids.
