  • Josh Steadman – I Designed Disney’s Largest Castle… Then Had to Rebuild My Life
    Feb 27 2026

    This week on Good Times, Bad Friends, we’re joined by former Disney Imagineer Josh Steadman.

    Josh helped design the largest Disney castle in the world. He worked on global theme park projects, lived overseas, and built “magic” for millions of people.

    But behind the scenes, the pressure of chasing his dream nearly destroyed him.

    In this episode, Josh opens up about:
    • Growing up as the outsider in Idaho
    • Sleeping in his car while trying to break into Disney
    • Having his work stolen in a contest
    • Working on Shanghai Disneyland
    • Battling addiction
    • Finding sobriety and peace

    This isn’t just a story about success — it’s a story about falling apart and rebuilding.

  • Justin Brumfield: You’re More Than the Game — Sports, Humility & Becoming a Leader
    Feb 20 2026

    Justin Brumfield finally takes the guest chair — and it didn’t go how he planned.

    From growing up in Celina, Texas during a culture of winning, to chasing the dream of college football, to realizing the hard way that sports can’t be your identity — this episode is more than a host interview. It’s a deep dive into ego, setbacks, leadership, and learning that God’s timing rarely matches our own.

    Justin opens up about:

    • Tearing his ACL and watching the dream shift

    • The reality check of chasing Division I football

    • How bad decisions followed disappointment

    • Why trying to be the “cool young coach” almost cost him

    • What it actually means to coach championship men

    • And how God repeatedly redirected his path

    This conversation isn’t about highlight reels or hot takes.

    It’s about:

    • Humility after failure

    • Accountability over popularity

    • Identity beyond performance

    • And building young men for life — not just scoreboards

    If you’re a coach, athlete, parent, or someone wrestling with unmet expectations, this one will hit close to home.
