The State of the Union brought fireworks—but not the good kind. From silent protests to visible frustration across the chamber, the night turned into a nationwide conversation about anger in leadership and culture.
But the crew quickly admits something uncomfortable: we all do it.
Whether it’s losing your cool over a slow internet connection, exploding at a small mistake, or snapping at the people closest to you, anger shows up everywhere... from Congress to the kitchen table.
Host Steve Wyatt digs into why anger is so powerful, why it feels justified in the moment, and why it often leaves damage behind long after the moment passes.
The conversation explores the cost of uncontrolled reactions and why learning to slow down, reflect, and respond wisely might be one of the most important life skills we can develop.
If you’ve ever blown up over something small and regretted it later, this episode will hit close to home.
