    From Foster Care to Million Dollar Business | Lucas Payne’s Wild Story | TDES S2 EP 4
    Aug 22 2025
    What starts as a deep dive into international trade and entrepreneurship turns into one of the most powerful conversations I’ve had on this podcast.
    Lucas Payne opens up about his journey—from being emancipated at 15 and bouncing through the foster care system, to becoming the founder of Force Global Supply, a company disrupting the construction supply chain by cutting out middlemen and creating direct pipelines between developers and global manufacturers.
    We talk about adoption, fatherhood, trauma, race, family, and what it really means to choose love and build legacy. If you’ve ever felt like your past disqualified you, this episode will shift your mindset.
    We also cover how Lucas is changing lives in West Africa through sustainable well drilling and clean water projects.
    Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a leader, or just someone searching for purpose—this episode is for you!

    Aug 12 2025
    Go grab Nick’s new book The Space Between Us on Amazon and leave a 5-star review – it’s the best way to support him and help it hit #1!

    https://a.co/d/70BUm6u


    Nick Leja’s story is unlike anything you’ve heard. He’s the owner of six different businesses – from Disc Replay to Superior Fence & Rail – AND he’s an author who uses fantasy stories to teach real-world soft skills like leadership, listening, and navigating difficult conversations.


    In this conversation, Nick shares how he built his portfolio of “boring” but profitable businesses, the lessons he’s learned as both a franchisee and a franchisor, and his unique writing process for creating fantasy worlds that deliver powerful life lessons. We also dive into The Space Between Us — a must-read for anyone who wants to master difficult conversations in business and in life.

    Steve Zyskowski didn’t just build another networking group—he built a system designed to fix everything people hate about traditional groups like BNI. It’s called Caerusnet, and it’s helping small business owners build real connections without the drama, wasted time, or pointless rules.
    We talk about why Steve started Caerusnet after the financial collapse, what makes it different, and why facilitator-led networking might be the future. If you’re a small business owner looking for a better way to grow your business through referrals, this episode is for you.

  • The Truth About Anti-Asian Hate, Media Lies, and Woke Culture with Kangmin Lee | Amfest Interview

    The Truth About Anti-Asian Hate, Media Lies, and Woke Culture with Kangmin Lee | Amfest Interview
    Jul 1 2025
    Kangmin Lee joins Dillon England for a powerful conversation on cancel culture, identity politics, and the spiritual decay of the West. From being labeled a "race traitor" to losing close friends over his convictions, Kangmin shares how he went from quiet dissenter to bold truth-teller on X.
    We discuss the real root of anti-Asian hate, media double standards, cultural appropriation hypocrisy, and how the rage-bait economy nearly destroyed his soul. This is a raw, unfiltered talk about faith, culture, and fighting for truth, no matter the cost.

  • Inside the Battle Against Teachers Unions and Public School Corruption | Rebecca Friedrichs | Amfest Interview

    Inside the Battle Against Teachers Unions and Public School Corruption | Rebecca Friedrichs | Amfest Interview
    Jun 30 2025
    Rebecca Friedrichs spent 28 years in the classroom, and what she saw broke her. Abuse, corruption, and radical ideologies protected by teachers unions pushed her out of the system and into the fight of her life. In this raw conversation, Rebecca shares what she witnessed, how she became the lead plaintiff in a Supreme Court case, and why she believes America’s education system has been weaponized from within.

    We talk about Rebecca’s experience witnessing abuse in the classroom, how unions protected bad teachers, and why she was forced to fund them. She shares how that injustice led her to challenge the system all the way to the Supreme Court, and win.

    Governments around the world are cracking down on tech, and it’s already impacting your freedom of speech.

    In this episode, I sit down with Patrick Hedger, Director of Policy at NetChoice, to uncover how foreign and domestic governments are pressuring tech companies into censorship, why AI is being overregulated, and what the collapse of Parler reveals about the future of digital freedom.

    We talk about Section 230, blockchain-based solutions like Optio, and how American innovation is at risk if we don’t push back. If you care about the future of tech, speech, and the internet itself—this one’s for you.

    He Built a Million-Dollar Gold Company by 27 — Here’s How | AMFEST Interview
    Jun 2 2025
    In this exclusive episode of The Dillon England Show, I sit down with the founder of Fisher Capital while I was at AMFEST to discuss why more Americans are turning to gold and silver as a hedge against inflation, financial collapse, and centralized control.
    We talk about:
    Why gold is real money, not just an investment
    How owning precious metals lets you "debank" yourself
    The explosive rise of Fisher Capital since 2020
    Why young entrepreneurs should master sales
    How to start building legacy wealth outside the system
    I hope you enjoy our conversation.
