Talent gets you in the room. Focus keeps you there.

In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Sandy Cohen — a mindset development coach who has worked with elite performers, including professional athletes and Olympians.

This isn’t a sports-only conversation. Sandy breaks down what separates “almost great” from world-class in any field: business, leadership, parenting, speaking, and performance under pressure.

You’ll learn why most people confuse awareness with focus, why trying to “block out” pressure backfires, and how to use simple tools like “Now what?” to reset fast after mistakes. Sandy also shares his framework for training the controllables (belief, attitude, grit, focus, emotional control, discipline, self-awareness), plus practical ways to help young athletes build confidence without tying their identity to outcomes.

If you want a clear system to stay present, perform better, and stop spiraling after a bad moment — this episode will give you the playbook.

Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why talent is overrated at the highest levels — and what really separates top performers
• The difference between awareness (window) and focus (mirror)
• Why your brain doesn’t hear “don’t” — and how that creates performance spirals
• The “lock in” method: 2–3 controllables that stabilize performance
• The reset phrase that stops overthinking fast: “Now what?”
• Process vs outcome: the actions that lead to results
• Controllables vs impacts vs outcomes — and how to stop mixing them up
• Confidence: the difference between convincing yourself and reminding yourself
• How to build belief using highlight-reel proof + “I am / I can / I do” language
• How parents can reduce pressure and help kids step into “compete mode”

What does it actually take to rise above everyone else in a brutally crowded industry—and turn personal talent into a company worth over $100 million?

In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Jenna Jamison to break down how she transformed herself from a performer into a business operator, brand architect, and ultimately the founder of Club Jenna—one of the most successful exits in entertainment history.

This conversation isn’t about one industry. It’s about principles that apply to any entrepreneur, creator, or high performer trying to cut through noise. Jenna explains why looks were never the advantage, why flooding the market kills demand, and how scarcity, preparation, positioning, and mainstream attention changed everything.

From buying a Times Square billboard when no one thought it was possible, to intentionally limiting output, to building a “vault” of assets that gave her massive leverage in negotiations—this episode is a masterclass in turning visibility into value and fame into equity.

If you’re building a brand, a company, or a reputation in a noisy market, this episode shows what actually makes the difference.

Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why talent alone is overrated in crowded markets
• How scarcity beats volume when building long-term demand
• Why Jenna treated her career like a CEO—not just a performer
• The strategy behind the Times Square billboard that made international news
• How mainstream PR and media created leverage far outside her industry
• Why learning production, marketing, and distribution changed her power position
• How Club Jenna was built as a real business—not just income
• The value of building a “vault” of assets instead of living release-to-release
• How the Playboy acquisition was structured (upfront + backend leverage)
• Why boundaries, preparation, and focus outperformed hype

What if the biggest risk with AI isn’t the tech… but the way we’re thinking about it?

In this episode of the Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast, Daniel Wood sits down with Michael Clark — author of Our Moment and a global advisor on the future of work, data, and AI. Michael has advised executives, central banks, and governments, and previously led global digital transformation strategy consulting at Mastercard.

This is not a “50 tools” conversation. It’s a deep discussion on what AI is doing to work, leadership, education, and society — and why the real advantage won’t be having AI… but having people who can think alongside it.

Michael breaks down why leaders keep treating AI like “just software,” why that’s a mistake, and how the next era belongs to ability-based organizations — where judgment, reasoning, and strong decision-making matter more than job titles. We also get into data ownership, trust, regulation, and why “just give everyone UBI” is often used as a shortcut instead of doing the harder work of fixing systems that are outdated.

If you lead a team, run a business, or simply want to stay sharp as the rules change fast, this episode will reframe how you look at what’s coming.

Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why “AI vs humans” is the wrong frame — and what “collaborative intelligence” looks like
• The UBI argument Michael calls a “shortcut” — and what we’re avoiding by using it
• Why the future is ability-based teams, not resume-based hiring
• The difference between skills and real abilities (judgment, ethics, reasoning, learning agility)
• Why leaders should adopt AI strategically — one use-case at a time
• Why time is the hidden “AI dividend,” and why most people will waste it
• Data inclusion: who gets left out of AI systems — and why it matters
• Why trust, licensing, and regulation may slow model growth more than “innovation limits”
• Why policy needs adaptive frameworks, not slow-moving rulebooks
• The question leaders should ask weekly: “Did we make impact?”
