From Tragedy to Triumph: Local Radio Veteran Deston Rogers Launches ‘Eagle Freedom Presents’ Podcast to Inspire Hope

The new platform shares powerful stories of resilience to help listeners “Rise, Inspire, Overcome” personal challenges.

Radio broadcasting veteran Deston Rogers has launched a new podcast, Eagle Freedom Presents, created as a beacon of hope for individuals navigating the weight of past trauma, abuse, addiction, and other seemingly insurmountable challenges. The platform serves as a sanctuary for those who feel stuck or alone in their struggles, offering understanding and the courage to move forward.

The mission is deeply personal for Rogers, whose remarkable 40-year career in radio is matched by his own story of profound adversity and he has decided to use his voice for a new purpose. His experiences forged an unyielding passion to use his platform to help others build the same strength and resilience he discovered through personal development, faith, and positive relationships.

A Message of Elevation

The core of the podcast is its powerful mantra: “Rise, Inspire, Overcome.” Each episode is designed to motivate and uplift by sharing authentic stories of triumph from everyday people. By giving a voice to those who have overcome extraordinary challenges, the podcast aims to provide listeners with practical wisdom and a renewed sense of possibility.

“In a world filled with negativity, from news outlets to social media, people world-wide seek authentic, purpose-driven content. People want a sense of belonging, hope and inspiration in a world that frankly is driven by negative stories. Big media does a terrible job of bringing these kinds of stories to light, because negative news is the norm,” Deston says. “That’s where Eagle Freedom Presents comes in.” Deston concludes by saying, “Everyone around us has their own unique story. My goal is to seek out those stories and share them with the world.”

In fact, in just a couple of weeks, Eagle Freedom Presents has already become a world-wide podcast with an audience that not only includes the US but also the United Kingdom, Ireland and Japan.

“We believe that when one person shares their story, it empowers countless others, creating a domino effect of positive transformation,” Rogers’s mission statement reads.

The name Eagle Freedom Presents is highly symbolic, drawing inspiration from the majestic eagle. The podcast’s guiding principle is that the best way to overcome adversity is through elevation, not confrontation—much like an eagle soars to a higher altitude when attacked. This imagery represents the clarity and perspective one can gain by choosing to rise above personal struggles.
