    The Painful Childhood Behind Forbes Riley’s $2.5B Communications Empire | Ep. 175

    Communication skills and sales pitching: Dr. Forbes Riley explains how a painful, isolated childhood gave her the instincts behind $2.5 billion in sales. Fitted with braces, headgear, and a tongue thruster for eight years, Forbes had no friends and communicated by writing and pointing. Television became her only window to human connection, and that solitary study built a pitch instinct she later carried into nearly 200 infomercials. Host Ilana Golan and Forbes cover the psychology of making anyone say yes, why knowing someone's pain sets your price, and what Forbes wishes she had learned far earlier.

It’s also about knowing when to walk away from something that has become part of your identity and having the courage to start again.In this episode, Tom joins Ilana to share the real story behind Peloton—from starting the company with just $400,000 and getting rejected by investors to selling the first bikes, building an incredibly loyal community, and eventually taking the company public.

Now, he’s starting over—this time partnering with Chipotle founder Steve Ells to rethink fast food with Counter Service.
