About this podcast

Want to seek truth without tribalism? Wish you could be fully honest instead of carrying your team's flag? This is a place where ignorance isn’t punished, curiosity is rewarded, and conflict doesn’t mean contempt. Host Jamin Coller sits down with people you’re not “supposed” to talk to - former extremists, outspoken pastors, rabbis, activists, skeptics, believers, and thinkers from every corner of the spectrum. They share stories and challenge ideas that most of us were taught to avoid, whether the topic is faith, politics, science, identity, or the messy places in between. This isn’t about winning arguments or trading insults. If you’re tired of echo chambers and ready to explore the conversations that matter most, subscribe to If I’m Really Honest and join the growing community willing to embrace the most courageous idea: Maybe I'm wrong.
