In this episode of Dropping Bombs, entrepreneur and volunteer firefighter Patrick Henson shares his journey from burnout to building a growing blue-collar empire.

Patrick opens up about hitting rock bottom while working 100-hour weeks, drinking to cope, and reaching a point where he thought everyone would be better off without him. Then a random clip from Shawn Ryan's podcast changed everything. It led him to a five-day ibogaine and DMT experience in Mexico that reset his mind, killed his ego, and gave him a level of gratitude he never knew was possible.

He breaks down what it's actually like to experience “death” on DMT and the profound gratitude he now feels daily. Plus, how he went from being a prisoner in his own business to acquiring multiple companies and scaling the right way.

If you've ever felt like something in your life needed to change, this episode will light a fire under you.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Hillel Presser, the attorney who's built a nationwide practice around one mission: making sure you can never lose what you've worked your whole life to build.

Hillel breaks down why 99% of people are walking around completely exposed, how something as simple as the way your car is titled could cost you everything, and the exact structure used by business owners, celebrities, and professional athletes to become judgment proof.

He also gets into business exits, why most companies never sell, and what you need to do right now — whether you're just starting out or sitting on a serious portfolio.

One lawsuit can wipe you out. This episode shows you exactly how to make sure it never does.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Budo Bunul — the international entrepreneur who spent 20 years figuring out the real estate game before cracking the code nobody else wanted to touch.

Budo breaks down how he's buying beat-up, underperforming motels for pennies on the dollar and flipping them into clean, tech-enabled living spaces that modern renters actually want — with 85-90% occupancy rates and 12% returns for investors. He explains why the old motel model is broken, how he cut operating costs by 75%, and why America is sitting on a massive housing opportunity that most people are completely ignoring.

Whether you're looking to invest, need a smarter place to stay, or just want to see how one immigrant with a vision is quietly reshaping the way America lives, this one's for you.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode is a returning visit with Anthony Freda — illustrator, writer, and tenured professor at F.I.T. whose career took him from Fortune 500 advertising to the New York Times to Infowars, and ultimately to where he is now: fighting spiritual warfare through Christian art.

This conversation goes deep on spiritual warfare, the demonic forces behind society's biggest lies, and why Anthony believes the only real fight left is an inward one — getting right with God.

Good versus evil has never been more real. This episode might be the most important reminder of which side you're on.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Wes Smith — the 29-year-old entrepreneur and investor who went from living in his car to rubbing elbows with princes, billionaires, and diplomats.

Wes breaks down how he built a portfolio across Colored Diamonds, life insurance, AI, venture capital, and ultra-high-end asset sales — and why the secret to all of it is simple: the more hands you shake, the more money you make.

From legally eliminating your tax bill to investing in things Wall Street will never offer you, Wes shows why the wealthy play a completely different game — and how regular people can start accessing it with as little as $10K.

If you've got a high-value asset to move or just looking for a smarter place to put your money, this one's for you.
