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.

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.

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.

In this explosive episode of the Truth Hurts Show, Brian and Makan sit down with John Kiriakou, a former CIA agent turned whistleblower, who risked everything to expose one of the darkest chapters in American intelligence history.

Kiriakou takes us deep inside the world of espionage — from close calls with death in war zones, to the disturbing reality of CIA torture programs and black sites. He opens up about his role in publicly confirming the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques”, the political backlash that followed, and how his moral line cost him everything — including his freedom.

But that’s just the beginning. Kiriakou also shares shocking claims about Jeffrey Epstein’s possible ties to Mossad, and how blackmail may have been weaponized at the highest levels of power. Plus, hear how this ex-operative applied CIA tactics to survive prison, and what he learned about government, justice, and personal integrity along the way.

This is the interview the intelligence community doesn’t want you to hear.

In this mind-blowing episode of the Truth Hurts Show, Brian Goldstein and Makan sit down with emotional engineer and founder of Full Liberation Technology, Daniel Packard, who claims to have SOLVED anxiety, procrastination, people-pleasing, and even addiction—without drugs, therapy, or endless journaling. Sound too good to be true? Daniel breaks down exactly why the mental health industry is failing you—and how his 90-minute free training and 6-week system has a 90% success rate in permanently eliminating anxiety by treating the real root cause: a malnourished nervous system.

Daniel's journey began with heartbreak, PTSD, and panic attacks—and after spending 10 years and $100K on self-help and therapy with no lasting results, he did what any frustrated Berkeley-trained engineer would do: he built a system that works.

Key Points Covered:

- The REAL difference between stress and anxiety

- Why most self-help advice keeps you stuck

- How the fear switch in your nervous system gets stuck “ON”

- The dangerous illusion of “managing” vs. solving anxiety

- Why emotional pain is a nutrient deficiency, not a mindset issue

- How to measure your own anxiety reduction using psychometrics

- Why his clients don’t pay unless it works

In this episode of the Truth Hurts Show, Brian Goldstein sits down with Joshua Mason, founder of Detox Dudes, who shares the harrowing truth behind his breakdown from world champion athlete to bedridden and suicidal.

At 23, Josh was a jiu-jitsu world champion. But just months later, his nervous system collapsed. Misdiagnosed, medicated, and desperate, he turned to Ayahuasca, flying to Peru and drinking in the jungle over 31 ceremonies. What he thought would save him nearly destroyed him.

From hospitalizations to hallucinations, it wasn’t until Josh discovered he had mercury poisoning and Lyme disease that his true healing journey began. Through radical detox, parasite cleansing, and rebuilding his nervous system, Josh reclaimed his health, his purpose, and his life.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “just anxious”… if doctors say it’s all in your head… if you’ve tried it all and still feel broken, this episode will change your perspective forever.

Key Points Covered:

- The shocking story of how a champion athlete’s body shut down overnight

- Why Ayahuasca made things worse, not better — and nearly killed him

- The undiagnosed root causes: mercury, Lyme, parasites

- Why the wellness world is failing the chronically ill

- What most people get wrong about detox

- The truth about colon cleanses, parasites, and daily toxicity

- Josh’s advice for skeptics, seekers, and anyone who feels "off"

In this jaw-dropping episode of the Truth Hurts Show, Brian Goldstein sits down with Jennelle Gordon, a survivor, healer, and tantra expert whose life journey sounds like a movie script. From being trafficked in Las Vegas for a decade to faking her own death to escape her pimp, she shares the darkest chapters of her life and the powerful transformation that followed.

She opens up about growing up in a cult-like Mormon missionary family, surviving the foster system, abuse, and manipulation — and how all of it led her to a path of radical healing and spiritual mastery through tantra. Now, she helps men and women around the world reclaim their sexual energy, deepen intimacy, and rewire their trauma at its root.

This episode is raw, real, and deeply uncomfortable at times — but it will shift how you view trauma, sex, healing, and even the nonprofit world.

🔑 Topics Covered:

- Her journey from the military to being trafficked in Vegas

- The shocking truth about how pimps manipulate vulnerable women

- Why she faked her own death to escape

- The truth about anti-trafficking nonprofits & their dark side

- What semen retention REALLY does for men (and their money)
