No Filter

From Skateboard Kid to Entrepreneur: Building a Global Platform Through a Mental Health Journey

By: William A. Stephens Jr.

Narrated by: Roy Bunales

This audiobook was created for those who struggle to comprehend reading or simply don’t have time to sit with a book—a lifeline for anyone walking through silence and darkness.

No Filter is a fearless, uncut memoir from Retired Sergeant First Class William Alfred Stephens Jr., who went from skateboards and struggle to soldier, survivor, and entrepreneur. Told with brutal honesty and spoken-word rhythm, it captures the transformation from military service to mental health advocacy—and from silence to leadership.

At its core, No Filter is more than a story—it’s a mission. A call to protect new authors from predatory “funnel” scams, fake marketers, and manipulative publishing traps. Through his own healing, Stevo uses 1821 Productions to expose deception, uplift truth, and empower real storytellers to find their voice.

This award-winning continuation of The Broken Mirror reminds listeners that real strength comes from transparency, purpose, and community. The narrator’s dynamic highs and lows don’t just tell the story—they breathe life into every crack in the mirror and every piece that’s fallen to the floor.

It’s not about royalties. It’s about reaching one person who needs to hear it.

Because even in a world full of filters—truth still cuts through.
