Who Will Cain Really Is | Sage Steele Show | EP 80

Will Cain has made a career out of saying what he really thinks, and this conversation was no different. We talked about faith, family, and the power of conviction in a world that constantly demands you choose a side. Will shared how growing up in Texas shaped his worldview, what he learned from leaving ESPN for Fox News, and why he believes truth and empathy can still coexist in today’s media landscape. We also discussed marriage, fatherhood, and the importance of raising boys who are strong, kind, and grounded. Will opened up about the pressure that comes with public life, how he handles criticism, and what it means to lead with both humility and courage. This was real and unfiltered, an honest look at what it means to hold onto your values when the spotlight never turns off.
