In the first episode of No Hype, Just Standards, host Zac Armstrong sits down with Rory Pendergast—an attorney, father, and high performer who looked successful on the outside but felt increasingly drained on the inside. Despite doing what most would call “healthy,” Rory faced daily headaches, energy crashes, and a growing sense that his edge was slipping. This episode explores why “normal” isn’t good enough after 40, and how reclaiming energy, focus, and presence at home starts with raising your standards. No motivation tricks. No shortcuts. Just what actually works when performance matters most.

Wildfire season isn’t a season anymore, it’s year-round. In EP 114 of Unseen Impact, Rory and Kerry talk with Captain Robert Johnson of CAL FIRE (San Diego Unit) about what actually makes fires explode: critically dry fuels, Santa Ana winds, and the “invisible” threat not to mention embers that can travel 2 to 3 miles and ignite days later.

When you’re injured, the hardest part isn’t always what shows up on an X-ray—it’s the unseen impact: anxiety, lost identity, brain fog, and that constant “what happens next?” spiral. In Episode 113 of Unseen Impact, Rory and Kerrie sit down with Ben Kulick, a warm water somatic therapist, to talk about mindfulness as a practical tool for healing—not a “woo-woo” trend and not something you’re “bad” at. If your mind wanders and you bring it back? That is meditation. This episode is about learning to exhale, regulate, and start feeling whole again.
During the holiday season, we’re invited to slow down, gather close, and reflect. But for many families in our communities, fear doesn’t take a break—especially when anti-immigrant rhetoric and uncertainty make people feel targeted, alone, or “hunted.” In “When Faith Meets Fear,” host David Alvarez sits down with Father Scott Santa Rosa, pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Barrio Logan, to talk about faith that shows up in real life: welcoming the stranger, standing with families at immigration court, and creating a place where people are reminded, you belong here. This episode is a reminder that faith isn’t just something you believe—it’s something you practice. And in hard seasons, hope isn’t passive. It’s built when we lock arms, tell the truth about dignity, and keep showing up.
