The Jeff Dornik Show
by Jeff Dornik
Free speech, culture, censorship, Big Tech, and the conversations shaping the future are all colliding in real time, and most people are only seeing a small piece of the picture. The Jeff Dornik Show brings together voices from across politics, business, health, faith, and culture to have real conversations that cut through narratives and get to the truth. Hosted by Jeff Dornik, founder and CEO of Pickax, this show is built on one premise: the most important ideas are often the ones that are ignored, suppressed, or misunderstood. Through in-depth interviews and direct discussions, Jeff explores the forces influencing our world, from political agendas and cultural shifts to personal health, entrepreneurship, and the battle over free expression in the digital age. This is not a scripted or controlled environment. Guests are free to speak, ideas are challenged openly, and conversations go where they need to go. Whether it is politics, business, faith, health, or cult
