Joe Rogan: On Trump Interview, Media Manipulation, UFC Journey, & DeExtinction - Gary Brecka

Premiered July 15, 2025 The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
Just wrapped up an epic conversation with Joe Rogan, where we explored his incredible journey from Taekwondo champion to UFC commentator to podcast pioneer! What fascinates me about Joe’s trajectory is how each phase built upon the previous one, developing the discipline and mental toughness that would later define his approach to everything. What also makes Joe’s platform uniquely powerful is his willingness to give voice to perspectives that mainstream media often overlooks. From presidential candidates to controversial researchers, he creates space for extended, nuanced conversations that simply don’t exist elsewhere in today’s fractured media landscape!
