• Too Opinionated Interview: Rose Barroso

  Today on Too Opinionated, we sit down with Author Rose Barroso! Rose Barroso has built an empire in two of the most male-dominated industries in the world—luxury real estate and custom home construction. Now, she's breaking new ground as an author with her powerful debut memoir, Indestructible: Transforming Survival into Success, releasing January 2026 through Sutherland House Experts.   Born in Portugal and raised in Toronto, Barroso's story is not one of privilege or easy breaks. Abandoned by those meant to protect her and raised in a shattered family, she learned early that survival meant building walls around her heart, around her dreams, around her very sense of self. But walls couldn't silence the echoes of self-doubt, fear, and rage that lingered long after the bruises faded.   Indestructible rips the mask off a life built in defiance of deep trauma. With raw vulnerability and unapologetic strength, Barroso exposes the hidden scars of her childhood and reveals how pain shaped her, tested her, and ultimately forged her into a tenacious woman who conquered her inner demons—and the boardroom.   This is more than a memoir. It's a battle cry for anyone who's ever been told they would amount to nothing. It's a roadmap for women in spaces where they're underestimated, overlooked, and undervalued. And its proof that healing doesn't make you soft; it makes you unstoppable.     Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

• Too Opinionated Interview: John LaDue

  Today on Too Opinionated, we sit down with filmmaker John LaDue. After a successful run in Japan, filmmaker John LaDue's latest feature documentary, Children of Yamato, has officially come to the United States via Amazon Prime.  LaDue is excited to share this rare, introspective look at Japan's post-war identity and the complex legacy of American reconstruction. The film challenges one of modern history's most celebrated narratives; that the U.S. rebuilding of Japan was an unqualified democratic success. Instead, LaDue exposes the unseen costs of that transformation: a nation whose spiritual and cultural roots were severed in the process. Through evocative imagery and deeply researched storytelling, Children of Yamato traces the lingering impact of those policies across generations. The documentary follows LaDue as he embarks on a quest to rediscover the "heart of Japan," unearthing what was lost in the pursuit of modernization. LaDue's vision brings a fresh perspective as an American who was born in Hawaii, yet raised in Japan. Featuring interviews with scholars, Shinto priests, and Japanese citizens, the film offers an unflinching look at how Westernization reshaped Japan's sense of self, leaving younger generations untethered from their origins. It's a bilingual, visually poetic exploration of heritage, With Children of Yamato, LaDue expertly weaves personal narrative, historical investigation, and spiritual inquiry into a film that challenges viewers to reconsider how history shapes identity. CHILDREN OF YAMATO is now streaming in the U.S. on Amazon Prime.   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)
