In this explosive episode, Darin sits down with Johnny Graham, the CEO of Pacific United Power and Pulse Proof, and the founder of the largest YouTube channel in the solar industry. Together they uncover the hidden vulnerabilities in America's power grid, the looming threats of EMPs and AI-driven energy demands, and how solar technology could be the key to both national security and personal sovereignty.

Johnny's story — from door-to-door solar sales to building an empire redefining the energy landscape — is a masterclass in leadership, innovation, and self-reliance. This conversation dives deep into what it really means to own your power, both literally and metaphorically, in a world increasingly dependent on fragile systems.

"Power isn't just electricity — it's sovereignty. When you control your energy, you control your destiny. The future isn't off-grid — it's self-reliant, conscious, and connected to purpose."
