Total Disruption with Dr. Jake Clendenning & Michael Libercci Remember when you started your business because you wanted freedom—and somehow ended up more trapped than ever? Yeah. We've been there too. Dr. Jake Clendenning (CEO, author, recovering perfectionist) and Michael Libercci (business strategist, straight-shooter extraordinaire) have coached hundreds of entrepreneurs out of survival mode and into total market domination. Now they're pulling back the curtain on everything they've learned—the wins, the face-plants, and the billion-dollar lessons most "experts" gatekeep. This is the podcast for entrepreneurs who are: → Sick of chasing tactics that worked for someone else's business → Tired of "hustle culture" that glorifies burnout → Ready to build influence that attracts opportunity instead of begging for it → Done settling for "good enough" when greatness is one framework away From the science of flow state to why your defensive mindset is sabotaging your growth, we go deep on the conversations you won't hear anywhere else. Plus, we bring on guests who've actually built the empires they teach about (novel concept, right?). New episodes every week. Raw. Real. Ruthlessly practical. Join The Guild. Master the KLT Formula. Become the entrepreneur your industry can't ignore. My Recommendation: Go with Option 1 if you want to stand out in a crowded space and attract high-conviction entrepreneurs who are sick of the noise. Go with Option 2 if you want to position Total Disruption as THE authority-building resource for serious business owners. Go with Option 3 if you want to build community and create that "this podcast gets me" feeling. Pro tip: Whatever you choose, make sure it includes: A provocative question or statement in the first 10 words Specific outcomes (not vague "business tips") Your unique mechanism (KLT Formula, Total Disruption methodology) A CTA (subscribe, join, transform) Social proof (LATPN, bestselling author, guest caliber)

    Most entrepreneurs think funding is about money. It’s not. It’s about buying speed. In this hard-hitting episode of Total Disruption, host Mike Libecci sits down with serial entrepreneur and VC strategist Vidar Hokstad, who has spent 30 years building startups, from launching his first company at 19 to raising $6.5M and relocating an entire team across borders on first investment.

    S2E35_Women Survive Instead of Live_ The Global Movement Changing Everything

    Most women aren’t living—they’re surviving. After 23 years as a psychotherapist, Catalina saw the same pattern everywhere: women feeling alone, disconnected, judged, and unheard. She saw it in her clients—and eventually, in herself. In this deeply human episode of Total Disruption, Dr. Jake Clendenning sits down with the Romanian founder of the “A Live in Her” Global Movement, a community built to provide the safe space Catalina once desperately needed—but couldn’t find. This conversation isn’t about motivation posters or surface-level empowerment. It’s about real connection, clear communication, and rebuilding the “village” women were never meant to lose.

    S2E34_Youre Not Broken_ The Mental Health Secret Hiding in Plain Sight

    Most people are chasing the next book, retreat, or ceremony—convinced that will finally fix them. In this paradigm-shifting episode of Total Disruption, Dr. Jake Clendenning interviews Miguel Hernandez, licensed mental health therapist and creator of Sovereign Flow, who delivers a brutal truth most people don’t want to hear: You’re not broken. You never were. After a decade working with tribes in Washington State and five years deep in plant medicine practices, Miguel realized the real work wasn’t happening in the body—it was happening (or not happening) in the mind. This conversation dismantles the self-improvement addiction and replaces it with awareness, acceptance, and responsibility. You just heard it. Now it's time to do something with it.

    Most aspiring authors waste 3–4 years chasing traditional publishers—only to lose 80–90% of their royalties if they ever get a deal.

    S2E31_Youre Not Broken_ Why Goals Kill Dreams & Gifts Create Wealth

    You’ve been chasing the wrong thing. Goals are ego-driven lies. Gifts are divine assignments. In this paradigm-shifting episode of Total Disruption, Dr. Jake Clendenning sits down with Mr. 2020 (yes, his legal name), a lifelong Napoleon Hill practitioner who proves the biggest lie holding entrepreneurs back is: “I’m not ready yet.” Key Takeaways: • Why he legally changed his name to Mr. 2020—and convinced a State Trooper and a judge it was brilliant • The fatal flaw in traditional goal-setting: moving from “imperfect → perfect” destroys momentum • Gifts vs. man-made goals: one is divine intervention, the other is ego noise • How a brutal corrections-officer assault (white light, PTSD and all) became his greatest gift • Why you’re not broken—you’re a songbird with a sacred song that literally lifts the sun • The 8-year-old lens: How childlike perception reveals your unique calling • Pure possibility: A $7 PDF written in 7 hours becomes $7,000+ in passive income “People with vision don’t end up in courtrooms—they change the world.” Stop preparing.
