2025 NYE Lollapalooza Episode 20: The Impact This Series Has Made
Episode 20 serves as the reflection point of the 2025 NYE Lollapalooza, a moment to pause, look back, and name the impact this series has already had.
In this episode, Jay Doran discusses why the Lollapalooza exists in the first place, how it has evolved year over year, and what happens when long-form, values-driven conversations are given space to breathe. Rather than recapping individual episodes, Jay focuses on the resonance; the emails, messages, and conversations sparked by the series.
A significant part of that reflection includes the influence and example set by Patrick Bet-David, whose approach to dialogue, conviction, and unapologetic truth-telling is referenced throughout the episode. Jay shares how that standard saying the thing that needs to be said, even when it’s uncomfortable has shaped the tone, courage, and clarity of the Lollapalooza conversations.
This episode explores:
- Why people are craving depth over soundbites
- How honest conversation creates ripple effects beyond downloads
- The responsibility that comes with having a platform
- And why impact is measured not in virality, but in alignment, action, and change
Episode 20 isn’t a victory lap it’s a reckoning. A reminder that when conversations are rooted in purpose, faith, discipline, and truth, they don’t just fill time they move people.
This episode closes the loop on the 2025 NYE Lollapalooza and sets the standard for what comes next.
