episode Nunn Better Podcast EP.3- Johnny & Taj Hossain "From Shy Kid to Black Belt" cover

Beskrivelse

Taj Hossein joins us to talk about his journey from a smaller, insecure kid who fell in love with martial arts… to a 17-year-old full-time karate instructor and competitive fighter balancing school, teaching, and training. We get into what it’s really like behind the scenes at a long-running dojo, how martial arts builds confidence in kids (and adults), and the sacrifices that come with chasing big goals early. Taj also breaks down the black belt “candidate” program, the infamous Power Weekend, and the mindset shift he made after a tough loss—because in amateur fighting, confidence and heart can matter more than talent. Plus: Taj shares how he’s using AI tools to structure his training camp and weight cut, and what he wants the next 5–10 years of his career to look like.

Nunn Better Podcast EP.7- Johnny & Anonymous Prime, The Anonymous Prime Comeback

They were a 90’s Florida surf-punk band… then they disappeared for decades — and now Anonymous Prime is back. In Episode 7 of The Nunn Better Podcast, Johnny Nunn sits down with Gabe + Jason from Anonymous Prime to talk surf culture, punk rock, skate life, the band’s origin story, and the real reason the comeback finally happened.

Nunn Better Podcast EP 6 Kelly & Bob Easterling - Swat, K.O.'s, & Jesus

In this episode, we sit down with Bobby “Bob” Sterling — a man with a story you don’t hear every day. From full-contact karate and kickboxing titles to undercover narcotics and SWAT, Bobby lived for the rush… until he realized the “void” inside him could only be filled by Jesus Christ. We get into: * The underground fight era (and how it really worked) * The undercover moment where he had to think fast to stay alive * What cops don’t say out loud about stress, trauma, and survival * The turning point that led him to faith * Why he’s launching a kickboxing ministry for kids (self-defense + Bible study + discipline) If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when someone goes from adrenaline addiction to purpose, this one’s for you.

Nunn Better Media EP-2 Johnny & Oscar Mouton- Hollywood Lied About AR-15'S

A retired DC Homicide Detective and Marine veteran joins the show to break down the real-world truth behind gun violence, homicide investigations, and the public debate around AR-15s. In this episode, Oscar explains what he saw on the streets and in homicide—what weapons were actually used most often, why handguns dominate many cases, and how Hollywood and media imagery can shape public perception. We also get into the cultural side of gun ownership, what civilians often misunderstand about “assault rifles,” and what actually moves the needle when it comes to reducing murders. If you’re pro-2A, anti-2A, or somewhere in the middle—this is a conversation worth hearing all the way through.
