If you grew up watching MTV… if you’ve ever listened to a podcast… or if you’ve simply existed on the internet in the last 20 years… you’ve been impacted by today’s guest, whether you knew it or not.

Adam Curry — former MTV icon, media pioneer, and co-inventor of podcasting — joins me for a conversation that honestly feels like a movie. Most people know him as the Podfather… but very few know the plot twist that happened at age 58, when God interrupted his life and everything changed.

In today’s episode, Adam opens up about:
✨ His wild behind-the-scenes years at MTV
✨ How the early days of the internet and podcasting REALLY unfolded
✨ The moment he realized the life he built wasn’t enough
✨ His unexpected, late-life encounter with Jesus
✨ What it looked like to learn hearing God’s voice for the first time
✨ The surprising ways God had been chasing him for decades
✨ The spiritual battle inside the media world (and what Christians miss)
✨ How God repurposed his ENTIRE career for Kingdom impact

And then… we talk about Godcaster — Adam’s bold new mission to raise up 1,000 Christian voices and build a future where churches, ministries, and everyday believers become the broadcasters of hope in their communities.

This conversation is raw, fascinating, tender, and honestly one of the most hope-stirring testimonies you’ll hear this year. If you’ve ever wondered:

💭 “Is it too late for me?”
💭 “Does God still speak?”
💭 “Could God use my story… even the messy parts?”

…Adam’s story is your YES.

Grab your coffee and buckle up — this episode is a ride.
