After 20+ years of hiding his faith and conservative values in tech, Scott Houghton is done being silent.

In this raw, unfiltered premiere episode of Faith, Freedom & Tech, Scott shares:

• Why watching Charlie Kirk die for his beliefs changed everything
• The real cost of being a Christian in Silicon Valley
• How he went from hacking school computers at 12 to risking a career he built from age 11
• Why he's not your typical "good Christian" (and why that might be exactly what's needed)
• The hypocrisy that drove him from church and how he became what he hated

"I'm tired of winning the game by their rules while losing myself in the process."

This episode sets the foundation for a podcast that refuses to separate technical excellence from personal values. Scott doesn't have all the answers - he's still drinking too much beer, swearing like the sailor he is, and figuring out faith in real-time. But he's creating the community he wished existed: a place where you can be excellent at technology AND authentic about your beliefs.

Whether you're a silent Christian in tech, a conservative afraid to speak up, or just someone tired of wearing a mask to work - this episode is your invitation to stop hiding.

Topics covered:

• The reality of ideological discrimination in tech
• Building a career from age 11 (including "alleged" school hacking)
• Military service and its impact on faith and career
• Why now is the turning point for conservatives in tech
• What to expect from Faith, Freedom & Tech

Fair warning: This episode contains strong language, radical honesty, and might cost Scott some contracts. It also contains hope for everyone who's felt alone in this industry.

Join the movement. Stop hiding. Start building.
