America is once again standing at a familiar crossroads — where power, protest, and political strategy collide, and everyday citizens are left carrying the cost.

In this extended episode of This with Krish, we take a clear-eyed, bipartisan look at the growing standoff in Washington over Department of Homeland Security funding, the rising risk of a government shutdown, and the unrest unfolding in Minneapolis following recent federal law-enforcement incidents.

This is not a shout-fest. It’s not partisan theater. It’s a long-form, fact-based conversation about accountability, governance, immigration enforcement, public safety, and the failures — on both sides — that continue to erode public trust.

We examine: • What’s actually driving the DHS funding revolt in the Senate • How Minneapolis became a recurring national flashpoint • Where Democratic leadership in Minnesota has failed to deliver results • Why Republicans are framing this moment as a test of order and competence • And who ultimately pays the price when politics overtakes governance

If you’re tired of headlines without substance and arguments without solutions, this episode is for you.

What happens when a historic winter storm shuts down half the country… and traps parents, kids, and a confused golden doodle inside the house for days?

In this episode of This with Krish, Krish breaks down the reality of parenting during one of the most widespread winter storms in U.S. history — from Dallas, Texas to more than 40 states impacted by snow, ice, power outages, travel chaos, and school closures.

This isn’t a weather report — it’s a survival story.

From pajama-only weekends and indoor Olympics to glitter-related regrets, snack negotiations, screen-time amnesty, and the emotional rollercoaster of snow days with kids, this episode is a hilarious, honest, and relatable look at what really happens when families are forced into Full Family Hibernation Mode™.

Along the way, Krish weaves in real storm updates, parenting humor, and a reminder that sometimes being stuck together creates the moments we’ll laugh about forever.

If you’re a parent, you’ll feel seen. If you’re stuck inside, you’ll feel understood. And if you have snacks and WiFi — you’re already winning.

The news isn’t broken — it’s paid for.

In this episode of This with Krish, we break down the uncomfortable truth behind modern media: why headlines are engineered for clicks, why fear and outrage outperform facts, and how attention has become the real currency of journalism.

This isn’t an attack on reporters. It’s a clear-eyed look at incentives, money, and how engagement-driven news quietly shapes opinions, emotions, and even identity. We talk about free vs paid media, headline psychology, subscription bias, and why discernment matters more than ever.

College football just wrapped up one of the most entertaining, chaotic, and revealing seasons in modern history — and it left us with more questions than answers.

In this episode of This with Krish, we break down the full college football season recap, including the biggest highlights, the most controversial moments, and the uncomfortable realities reshaping the sport. From transfer portal free agency and NIL money to COVID eligibility creating 25-year-old players lining up against freshmen, this season exposed how quickly college football is evolving into something closer to professional football.

We dig into why some players are choosing to stay in college instead of entering the NFL Draft, how NIL money is changing incentives, and why incoming freshmen are now being benched like NFL rookies. We also examine the cultural shift happening inside locker rooms, using real postgame comments to contrast leadership styles and accountability from quarterbacks like Carson Beck and Fernando Mendoza.

Plus, we discuss the warnings from Nick Saban about the lack of structure, enforcement, and long-term sustainability in today’s college football landscape.

This is a fun, honest, and thoughtful conversation about where college football has been, where it is right now, and where it might be headed next. Whether you love the changes or hate them, this season proved one thing: college football will never be the same again.

I was supposed to record this episode on Friday night — but life happened. A last-minute family road trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas turned into the perfect setup for this conversation about water, trust, history, and the stories we tell ourselves about what’s “clean.”

From ancient thermal springs and historic bath houses… to gangsters hiding out in the 1920s… to ordering still water on a date night in Austin and getting handed rainwater in a can — this episode dives deep into how water became culture, status, marketing, and belief.

We unpack new science questioning whether bottled water is actually cleaner, talk about microplastics, tap water myths, wellness branding, and why something as simple as water reveals how much we’ve overcomplicated trust.

This one is thoughtful, funny, historical, and surprisingly personal.

Listen with an open mind — and maybe a glass of water nearby.

How do you build multiple businesses, partnerships, and creative projects without completely burning out?

In this episode of This with Krish, I pull back the curtain on what it really looks like to juggle full-time careers, startups in different stages, equity partnerships, real estate investing, a podcast, a clothing line, a nonprofit — and still protect your marriage, your faith, and your sanity.

This episode is a continuation of yesterday’s conversation, “The American Dream Didn’t Die,” where we talked about how opportunity has changed. Today, we go deeper into the part no one glamorizes: the pressure, the exhaustion, the systems, and the mindset required to build without losing yourself.

We talk about: • Why burnout isn’t about working hard — it’s about bad design • How my wife Shannon and I stay aligned while building multiple ventures • The difference between being busy and building momentum • Why owning everything at once is a fast track to exhaustion • How to reorder your life without quitting the dream

This isn’t hustle culture. This is sustainable ambition.

If you’re building something big — or thinking about it — this episode is for you.

What happened to the American Dream?

For decades, it meant stability, ownership, and the promise that hard work would eventually lead to a better life. Today, it feels faster, louder, and far more exhausting — leaving many people wondering if it’s still achievable without burning out or compromising their values.

In this long-form episode of This with Krish, we explore how the American Dream didn’t disappear — it changed. Through personal stories, humor, and honest reflection, Krish breaks down what the dream used to be, what it’s become, and how people are quietly building meaningful, stable lives outside the noise.

This isn’t about politics or hype. It’s about responsibility, alignment, patience, and redefining success on your own terms.

If you’ve ever felt behind, burned out, or unsure what you’re actually working toward — this episode is for you.

This weekend, we took a real family roadtrip—13 hours, 840 miles each way, with a three-year-old and a seven-year-old. No highlight reel. No Pinterest fantasy. Just real parenting, real chaos, real memories—and a system that actually works.

In this episode of This with Krish, we break down how to survive (and actually enjoy) a long family roadtrip, including:

• Why most roadtrip stress is avoidable
• How planning starts 48 hours before you leave
• Snack strategy (because snacks are leverage, not food)
• The science behind kid meltdowns and how to prevent them
• How to use screens without guilt—and without overdoing it
• Why movement matters more than entertainment
• What really happens hour by hour on a 13-hour drive

We also dive into real stats and research on why families still choose roadtrips, how shared travel experiences impact kids long-term, and why memories are made in the messy middle—not the perfect moments.

If you’re a parent planning a roadtrip, thinking about one, or just need reassurance that you’re not alone—this episode is for you.
