    Why Authenticity Beats People-Pleasing in Business | Reef Colman

    What if the chaos you survived as a child was actually preparing you for entrepreneurial success? Reef Colman was smuggled into the US at age three, grew up in hardship, and discovered that his brain had created a “chemical screenshot” that made chaos feel like home. In this raw conversation, he reveals how recognizing this pattern transformed his relationships and business approach, and he shares the pivotal moment when both a toxic relationship and a business betrayal collided, forcing him to ask the hardest question: what choices did I make that got me here? This isn’t just another success story, it’s a masterclass in radical self-accountability and the relationship with self that must come before all others.

    The Business Fundamentals Every Musician Needs to Know | Spencer Handley

    What if the biggest barrier to creative success isn’t talent, it’s business literacy? Spencer Handley spent two years hitting a plateau as a professional guitarist before discovering that mastery in any field follows identical principles, whether music, coding, or company building. Now leading Sonora, which has graduated 5,000 students including Grammy winners, he’s revolutionizing music education by teaching the uncomfortable truth: every creative person is an entrepreneur, whether they accept it or not.

    The Mindset Shift That Turned Me into Tony Robbins’ #1 Salesperson | Eli Wilde

    The most dangerous belief isn’t that you’re bad at selling, it’s that your words don’t matter. In this conversation, Eli Wilde shares his personal journey from scarcity to abundance, how meaning is created through intention, and why real persuasion comes from alignment, self-awareness, and belief-shifting experiences rather than pressure or manipulation. As you listen, notice where your intent is coming from in your own conversations, and decide whether you’re ready to create trust instead of resistance.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Listen to "Everything is Influence" on all your favorite platforms!

    Former CNN Anchor on Cancel Culture, Media Control, and Finding Truth in Journalism | Rick Sanchez

    If ratings don’t determine who keeps their job in mainstream media, then what does? Veteran journalist Rick Sanchez pulls back the curtain on his experiences at CNN, Fox News, and MS Now, revealing how pharmaceutical companies and defense contractors don’t just buy advertising, but actually sit on network boards. After being canceled before “cancellation” was even a term, he explains the mathematical impossibility of networks with shrinking audiences maintaining massive budgets without outside influence shaping their narratives.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Get Rick Sanchez’ book, “Conventional Idiocy: Why the New America is Sick of Old Politics“ here: https://bit.ly/4jM7SCU Listen to "Journalistically Speaking with Rick Sanchez" on all your favorite platforms!
