The 10 Ninety Podcast

Grief brings people together… like in this episode with Colin Campbell and Pieter Kort. Two men I admire and unfortunately two men who have a lot of brutal things in common. We have had them both on the podcast before. 
Colin in episode: 91
June 12, 2019, Colin Campbell was driving with his wife Gail, 17-year-old daughter Ruby, and 14-year-old son Hart. They were hit by a drunk driver. Ruby and Hart were killed, Colin and Gail survived. 
and Pieter in episode 177. 
Pieter Kort from Belleville, Ontario, Canada. Pieter lost two of his daughters—Madeleine "Maddie" Kort (13) and Joni Kort (10)—in a March 2022 in a rear end collision with a 70,000-pound cement truck while on vacation in Florida.
It was great having them on together ❤️

In this episode of The 10 Ninety Podcast, Mason sits down with Aubrie Flynn to talk about losing her mother, Julie, to alcohol addiction at just 55. Together they revisit Julie's obituary and explore the two sides of a woman who lit up every room she entered. Julie hosted every pool party, welcomed every neighborhood kid, and squealed with joy at anyone's good news, all while quietly fighting an addiction no one talked about for years.
Aubrie opens up about the guilt of feeling angry at her mom in her final days, the harrowing scenes at the hospital, and the impossible decision to remove life support. She also shares how grief became her superpower, teaching her to face hard things instead of hiding from them. It's a raw conversation about the complexity of the people we love, the weight of family secrets, and why talking about them changes everything.

In this episode of The 10 Ninety Podcast Mason sits down with his son Blue Sawyer and girlfriend Sami Leonard for a lighthearted change of pace. Instead of the usual heavy topics, theye trade questions from silly to philosophical—debating whether you'd rather fight a wolf or a horse, who wins between Batman and Santa Claus, and whether you'd burp bubbles or fart glitter. Blue weighs in on what makes a person good, why people get old, and what happens after we die. They wrap up with Halloween costumes, favorite movies, and a reminder that it's okay to be happy.

In this episode of The 10 Ninety Podcast Mason sits down with Michelle Rivera, a mother from Lowell, Massachusetts, who shares the story of losing her 16-year-old son Louis to appendicitis complications in 2009. She opens up about her journey through guilt, anger, and poor coping mechanisms, ultimately finding healing through faith and prayer. The conversation explores the difference between happiness and joy, the power of letting go, and how grief transforms into enduring love.

In this episode of The 10 Ninety Podcast, Mason talks with Maddi Sorenson, whose fiancé, Trent, died just six weeks into her pregnancy. He was found in his trailer with Metallica's "One" playing on repeat, and Maddie is still left with a question she may never be able to answer: was it an accident, or did he take his own life?
Maddi shares what came after: being left out of Trent's obituary, being mocked at his funeral, and raising a daughter whose paternity his family has refused to acknowledge.
It's an honest conversation about complicated grief, family rejection, living with unanswered questions, and learning how to find your own 90%.
