In this jaw-dropping two-hour episode of The Truth Hurts Show, Jason—former inmate, businessman, and survivor of the federal system—shares the raw, unfiltered truth about what it’s really like inside the feds. From laundering millions to chilling milk in prison toilets, from infiltrating the pharmacy game to surviving with the most dangerous criminals in America—this conversation goes places no podcast ever has.

Jason breaks down conspiracy charges, money laundering myths, why child predators are protected, the twisted logic of the feds, and how prison is basically “college for criminals.” He also shares what he learned from billionaires, cartel leaders, and the real reason most guys go down: a woman.

This is not just a cautionary tale—it’s a reality check.

On this episode of The Truth Hurts Show, Brian Goldstein and Makan sit down with Emil Khordorkovsky—a real estate investor and lender behind over $700 million in deals. They dive into the real reasons most deals fall apart, the problems with switching asset classes, and why out-of-state investing often doesn’t pencil the way people think it will.

Emil shares hard-earned lessons from two decades in the game, including what makes a deal actually work, why so many online real estate gurus are full of it, and how tax strategies like depreciation really play out in practice. No hype—just real talk from someone who's seen the good, the bad, and the expensive mistakes.

In this powerhouse episode of The Truth Hurts Show, hosts Brian and Makan sit down with Jonathan, a no-BS couples therapist who left behind a typical life in Canada to travel the world and now lives in Panama. What starts as a lighthearted intro turns into one of the most eye-opening conversations on modern relationships, sex, marriage, cheating, emotional responsibility, masculinity, and the psychology behind why couples fall apart—or stay together.

From red flags in social media behavior to how often you should be having sex, this episode pulls no punches. Jonathan shares wisdom from over a decade of experience, and the guys go deep into cultural trends, OnlyFans, divorce rates, and whether men are “built different” in 2025. This is not your average relationship talk. Raw, funny, and brutally real—just how Truth Hurts does it.
