Anil sits down with Khalid Cannon, Executive Director of Put Me In, an organization on a mission to make sure kids with incarcerated parents don't have to sit on the sidelines.

Khalid's story is as compelling as the work he's doing. Growing up in Alabama with a father in prison, youth sports gave him something invaluable—a place to just be a kid. That experience became the foundation for Put Me In, which is now changing the lives of over 150 families across the country. Khalid also draws a powerful parallel between finding your team on the field and finding your community in the military, and why that sense of belonging isn't a luxury, it's a lifeline.

Tune in for a conversation about resilience, purpose, and why everyone deserves a team.

Former Washington Commanders defensive end Jake Martin joins Anil from Radio Row at Super Bowl LX for a conversation that goes well beyond the football field.

Jake opens up about what it took to push through a tough season, the culture Coach Dan Quinn has built in Washington, and why the makings of a great team aren't all that different from the makings of a great unit. With his sister currently serving in the Navy, Jake knows firsthand what service looks like and how that shapes the way he shows up for his teammates.

Tune in for a conversation about grit, gratitude, and why America's 250th birthday is worth stopping to celebrate.

We're celebrating the Season 4 halfway mark with a double feature — two conversations, two incredible guests, two hosts, and one common thread: service.

First, Nate Boyer sits down with sports journalist and NFL Network host Erin Coscarelli. Beyond the bright lights of a Super Bowl week, Erin opens up about her family's military roots, what it really takes to build the next generation of athletes, and why bringing the big game back to L.A. hits differently for her.

Then, Anil Nathan connects with Bron Heussenstamm — founder of Bleav Network and former USA surfing team competitor — for a conversation about storytelling, sacrifice, and why he painted an American flag on his surfboard. Bron shares why he believes podcasting is one of the most powerful tools we have for tackling the conversations that matter most, including the ones that save lives.

Two guests. Two stories. All heart.
