He discusses the journey in growing his businesses, documenting the wins, failures, and the tactical steps that helped him escape BardsFM Scott Kesterson Clarity in contested space. BardsFM is daily intelligence analysis of the information war — finding the through line when everything else is noise. At the root is this: faith and knowledge are the greatest weapons of war, and the greatest act of faith is walking the way of Christ in a world that has forgotten what truth costs.Hosted by Scott Kesterson — combat veteran, documentary filmmaker, and rancher — BardsFM cuts through manufactured narratives with deep research and honest analysis. New episodes Tuesday through Friday, covering faith, liberty, history, and the machinery of information warfare itself. In the end, God wins.
