Antony is joined by Henry Weingartener, lead guitarist of Laundry Day, together with Charlie Gross and Nick Greco, co-founders of Sounds of Saving, the leading non-profit using music as a tool to help thousands of people with mental health challenges like anxiety and depression.

They highlight the magnitude of the mental health pandemic so many youngsters are dealing with connected to social media - unrealistic expectations, living with a superficial persona in cyberspace, and chasing likes. They also discuss the universal power of music - both as a creative outlet, and a means of expression that parents and educators can use to get in touch with kids.

Antony sits down with the biggest nature & travel influencer on Tik Tok - Josh Platillero A.K.A. MegaAmerican - to discuss the benefits of enjoying nature, beautiful sunsets and the sound of the ocean. These are the antithesis of being locked in your room glued to meaningless images on a small screen disseminated by social media. Josh reminisces on his "50 Sunsets, 50 States, 50 Days" tour as well as his humble beginnings at Enterprise.

Nature triggers the body's natural chemicals of well-being (Serotonin), trust (Oxytocin) and euphoria (Endorphins); while social media triggers the bodies natural chemicals connected to anxiety (Cortisol), stress (Adrenaline) and mood swings (Glutamate).

Nature is free. Social media may cost you everything.

In Episode #1 of The Antony Gordon Show, Antony sits down with Ed Peisner, founder of The Organization for Social Media Safety (“OSMS”) - the leading U.S. organization confronting the real-world dangers hiding behind our screens. This conversation begins at the point most debates skip. In 2017, Ed’s son Jordan was brutally assaulted in West Hills, California. The attack didn’t end there. It was filmed, uploaded, and went viral. The algorithm amplified the trauma. The internet watched. No guardrails. No accountability. Out of that devastation, OSMS was born. Antony and Ed break down how social media has evolved into an unregulated public safety threat, why kids are uniquely vulnerable, and how Big Tech incentivizes and actively rewards harm, humiliation, and outrage. They also unpack what actually works - including OSMS’s consumer-protection model, their work with policymakers, educators, and media, and why incremental fixes are not enough. This episode isn’t about panic. It’s about clarity. Not censorship - protection. Not theory - consequences. If you care about kids, truth, or the future of a generation raised online, this episode is required listening.

I’m excited to share with you today my interview with my friend and kindred spirit, Rabbi Shmuel Reichman, who is an author, educator, and speaker who has lectured internationally on topics of Torah thought, Jewish medical ethics, psychology, and leadership. His new bestselling book, The Journey to Your Ultimate Self, serves as an inspiring gateway into deeper Jewish thought. He is the founder and CEO of Self-Mastery Academy, the transformative online self-development course based on the principles of Torah, high-performance psychology, and leadership. “What social media does is it creates an identity that is a mirror of something outside of yourself. So you become something other than you are because your sense of identity is harnessed from something outside of yourself.”

“So many people, their worst nightmare is being alone in a room by themselves because they can’t stand themselves. It’s the emptiness within themselves because they’re not fully alive. When you are fully alive, you love it. Great people love being by themselves. They love people too, but they love being by themselves. Why? Because they’re full. There is just so much content, and thought, and vibrancy within them because they’ve invested.” 20:21

Today I have a very special guest on the podcast, Rabbi Reuven Epstein, who is known and respected as an authority on building great marriages. Backed by rabbis worldwide, he and his wife, Gitty, have helped hundreds of individuals and couples create mutual understanding, healthy communication, deep connection, and growing intimacy in their marriage. Many couples are in a state of coexistence where they are both living together, but are in their own worlds and are often out of sync with the individual needs of one another. Marriage is where you’re not only doing the day to day things to keep things function, but you’re tuning into the other person, their needs, wants, and desires, and you’re giving it to them without expecting anything in return, but it’s a direct giving, meaning you’re there by their side and spending your own time with them and for them.

“It’s them vs you, or you vs them and as long as it’s 2 units, the marriage has not yet fulfilled its potential. So just with that basic understanding, most couples start to realize, ‘Oh wow, I never really understood what marriage is.’ Marriage is a lifelong journey of two people slowly meshing and becoming a totally new unit. So when you recognize that, now you at least have your goal, and then you need the steps to make it happen.” 10:05

He’s a legally blind warrior and adventurer.

“What I did is shift the vibrational energy from drinking, women, drugs–not perfectly, but created an accessible road with a path so they didn’t think that drinking, women, and drugs was super fun. But climbing mountains, skiing, chasing dolphins in the ocean. There was a pattern break where they still felt adventurous, testosterone filled, and super cool, but it created their pathway from negative vibrational entertainment to higher vibrational entertainment, and they never knew it happened … never, EVER, do you say what not to do. You just create the power of choice.” 84:17

In this episode I had the privilege to speak with my friend and minimalist speaker, coach, author, mentor, and now a fellow TEDx talker, Chris Lovett. Coming from a background of accumulating stuff and living life with the purpose of acquiring more “things,” Chris found himself lacking in meaning and purpose. He began learning to let go, creating a new path and direction in life to actually do the things he wanted to do, and now Chris helps support individuals, families, and teams to be more successful with less, providing them with inspiration so they can unlock their potential by ditching the stuff. “That coziness is amazing, but nothing really grows there. To step away from the comfort is when you’re gonna get the most growth and the magic will happen.”

“I kind of feel content in where I am now, but not comfortable, whereas before I was super comfortable, but not very content. I don’t really need to go out and buy another suit, I’ve got a couple and that’s fine. I don’t need any more. I think where people kind of get caught up is the bombardment of information, of advertisements, and comparisonitis, which I don’t think is a word, but I think it should be.” 22:04
