  • $100 Million Entrepreneur Says Skip School & Do THIS Instead | David Guttman
    Oct 29 2025

    Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

    He Built, Bought, and Lost a Business Empire—Now He’s Creating CEOs From Scratch

    David Guttman went from Wharton to raising millions, acquiring 13 companies, and nearly going bankrupt. After two major exits and a 9-figure win, he walked away from the traditional path and built the Anti-MBA—a radical mentorship model to fund and train the next generation of entrepreneurs.

    Joining him is Anna Mostafavi, an 18-year-old with no business experience and no degree—yet she’s the CEO of a real company, owns 51%, and is on a mission to build, launch, and exit her first business by age 20. David gave her the equity. She’s running the company. And the clock is ticking.

    This episode dives deep into the broken promises of business school, the truth behind buying vs. starting a company, and why most people are completely wrong about what it takes to succeed. If you’re a failed founder, first-time entrepreneur, or young person thinking about skipping the system, this episode will change your mindset forever.

    This episode reveals a blueprint for reverse-engineering success, building real businesses without debt, and why traditional education is failing the next generation.

  • Communism Survivor Warns AI Will Enslave The World | Bek Lover
    Oct 22 2025

    This is not just a warning. It’s a firsthand report from someone who lived through hell.

    Bek Lover was born in the U.S., but raised by survivors of one of the most brutal communist regimes in modern history. His family was thrown into camps, tortured, and slaughtered in a war America barely remembers. He lived through the Kosovo genocide. He was under the World Trade Center when 9/11 hit. And after the death of his brother, he almost didn’t make it out.

    In this episode, Bek delivers a blistering takedown of America's descent into digital tyranny. From AI-driven technocracy to crypto surveillance to a complete collapse of free speech. He shares how the censorship he faced on Clubhouse mirrored the oppression his ancestors suffered under communism. This is his wake-up call.

    From growing up in war zones to rebuilding his life through faith, podcasting, and purpose, Bek pulls no punches. He warns what’s coming and why millions are sleepwalking into it.

    This conversation will shake you. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s what happens when you give the mic to someone who’s lived through everything.

  • The CIA's Secrets on Iran, War, and What Happens Next | John Kiriakou Part 2
    Oct 17 2025

    Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/truth-hurts-show/id1653918528


    In this explosive follow-up episode of the Truth Hurts Show, former CIA officer John Kiriakou returns to reveal shocking truths about U.S. foreign policy, Iran, and how America is spiraling into dangerous territory.


    John explains how every U.S. president refused Israel’s repeated demands to bomb Iran until now. He outlines how this shift has triggered one of the most unstable geopolitical periods in modern history. From CIA war games to top-secret tech at DARPA, John breaks down why U.S. war planners never have an exit strategy and how these mistakes have cost millions of lives.


    He also tells the wild story of how Paramount Pictures hired him to rescue child actors in Afghanistan. With no passports, a secret layover in Iran, and 27 lives on the line, John pulled off a covert mission with zero backup. No one knew where he was. He could have vanished forever.


    From his time inside the CIA to the night before the Iraq invasion, John gives firsthand accounts of internal government chaos, media lies, and why America is on the brink of collapse. He also reveals why he's already secured a Greek passport for himself and his kids just in case.


    If you're ready to hear the truth behind the headlines from someone who’s lived it, this is the episode to watch.
