Honest talk about culture, systems, belief, and mental health — with no corporate fluff. Welcome to The Slog Pod, where two longtime friends and Army veterans — Dustin Flatt (MSW, MBA) and TJ Westphal (MA) — cut through the noise of modern life, work, and culture to ask harder questions. Why do we think the way we do? Why do systems fail us? And why is change so damn hard? This isn’t therapy. It’s not hustle culture. It’s not another leadership podcast selling toxic positivity.

There’s something freaky going on in the zeitgeist. I used to spend time arguing politics on Facebook, debate who was the better rapper – Tupac or Biggie, and think I was smart just because I did a little extra Googling, and read about stoicism. Then, I got quit arguing and started learning. I learned about my confirmation biases, cognitive dissonance, unconscious choices, and other strange and intriguing fallacies. Kaizen will explore the science, psychology, and other human behaviors that ...

This podcast is dedicated to things that matter, truth, justice and education. I aim to Revolutionize the Human Spirit through compassion and integrity. Integrity being the most important tenet is non-negotiable. Misguided passion is dangerous to U.S. citizens when issues aren't dealt with objectively. Untold truths challenges cognitive dissonance because when a sensational lie has been told over and over again, the truth becomes unbelievable. It's time to shift the paradigm and accept the t ...
