  S3 E17: The Woman Selling Impact Back to the Attention Economy with Isvari Maranwe 10.09.2026 44min

  Isvari Maranwe has had one of the most unconventional career paths you'll hear on this podcast - from particle physics and supernova cosmology, to national security law, to US government attorney, to accidental influencer with 350,000 followers, to founder of two platforms with a shared mission: fix what's broken about social media and the media industry itself.In this episode, Isvari joins Sabrina to break down why she's building Yu Voice - a social media platform that rewards real-world impact over engagement, follower counts and dopamine hits. She also explains why she turned down a $2 million predatory investment offer AND an acquisition offer from a major competitor who simply wanted to buy her idea and shut it down.Along the way, they get into the loneliness economy - why social media is literally designed to keep you single, isolated and spending - what authentic content actually looks like versus what people perform online, and how Isvari built a following that genuinely shows up for her by refusing to be anyone other than exactly who she is.Show Notes and TranscriptVisit the website to get the transcriptions, notes and more insights from the episodes:https://n0bspodcasts.comWhat is the podcast?This podcast is for anyone who wants to learn what it’s really like running a business.

They get into why the CV is becoming obsolete, what employers actually want from young people right now, and how AI is creating more opportunity than it's destroying - if you know how to use it.Show Notes and TranscriptVisit the website to get the transcriptions, notes and more insights from the episodes:https://n0bspodcasts.comWhat is the podcast?This podcast is for anyone who wants to learn what it’s really like running a business.

  S3 E15: Why Niching Down Is Bad Advice If You Have Multiple Passions with Adama Lorna 14.08.2026 51min

  Adama is a senior software engineer, YouTuber with 185k subscribers, powerlifter, oil painter, and founder of The Multi Passionate Professional - and she has spent years figuring out how to make all of it work together, not despite each other.In this episode, Adama joins Sabrina to dig into what it really means to build a personal brand when you have multiple passions, and why the standard advice to "niche down" is actively working against people like them. They get into her Renaissance Positioning Formula, why business owners and content creators need completely different strategies, and why chasing views is one of the fastest ways to burn out if you're a founder.There's also a genuinely refreshing conversation about authenticity - what it actually means versus the performative version being sold online - and why you absolutely do not need to share your whole life to build trust with an audience.Show Notes and TranscriptVisit the website to get the transcriptions, notes and more insights from the episodes:https://n0bspodcasts.comWhat is the podcast?This podcast is for anyone who wants to learn what it’s really like running a business.

  S3 E14: The Confidence Coach Who Failed on Live TV with Fred Afrifa 07.08.2026 1h 2min

  Fred Afrifa moved to the UK at 12 years old not speaking a word of English, grew up as the only African kid in Milan where racism was just "normal," ran away from a school fight and discovered he was one of the fastest teenagers in the country, became a two-time national sprint champion, drove deliveries to pay the bills, and is now the go-to communication coach for executives at some of the world's biggest brands. Oh, and he got fired on national television in the process.In this episode, Fred sits down with Sabrina to get brutally honest about fear of judgement, why confidence is a myth in its broadest sense, and what those years of athletics actually taught him about building a business. They also get into the identity crisis of growing up between cultures, the real story behind his Apprentice firing, and why the personal development industry is riddled with people selling dreams they've never actually lived.*Show Notes and Transcript*Visit the website to get the transcriptions, notes and more insights from the episodes:https://n0bspodcasts.com*What is the podcast?*This podcast is for anyone who wants to learn what it’s really like running a business.

  S3 E13: She Was 16, Had No Hollywood Connections, And Got Keanu Reeves To Executive Produce Her Film with Bianca Mitchell-Avila 02.07.2026 41min

  Bianca Mitchell Avila started making her chess documentary, Madwoman's Game, at her dining table when she was just 15 years old - with no Hollywood connections, no budget, and one piece of advice from her dad: the worst thing that can happen if you reach out is a no.Six years later, that cold email landed Keanu Reeves as executive producer, and the film is premiering at the Miami Film Festival. In this episode, Bianca joins Sabrina to talk about building an all-star cast, what it's actually like having Keanu Reeves as a mentor, and why she refused to let the same handful of chess stories keep getting told. Sabrina also opens up about her own chess journey - being the only Black female chess master in the UK — and the very different way that story was received in the US versus at home.Expect honest talk on rejection, betting on yourself, walking away from clients who don't respect your worth, and the long, messy road from a kitchen-table idea to a film festival premiere.🔗 Links Mentioned in VideoMadwoman's Game: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34704424/Show Notes and TranscriptVisit the website to get the transcriptions, notes and more insights from the episodes:https://n0bspodcasts.comWhat is the podcast?This podcast is for anyone who wants to learn what it’s really like running a business.

  S3 E12: Why Most Creatives Build An Audience Instead Of A Community (And Why That's The Wrong Move) with Ajani Griffith 25.06.2026 42min

  What does it really take to build a creative career on your own terms? In this episode of No Bullshit Talks, Sabrina sits down with Ajani Griffith - Miami-based film producer, music supervisor, director, and content creator who has worked with Warner Music, Sony, Universal, Heineken, and Red Stripe. His work has contended for three Oscars, and he's been vlogging for over a decade. But none of it came in a straight line. Ajani breaks down the real journey: from chasing a dream of running an independent music publishing company, to stumbling into film through a friend's project, to building his own monthly event series from scratch — and keeping it going even when the crowd doesn't show up. 💡 In this episode: → How a single conversation with a director friend launched his career in music supervision → Why he chose Miami over LA — and what that decision taught him about building a brand anywhere → The Music Club: his monthly event series combining live performances, a podcast, and community — and his plan to take it on tour → How to stay consistent when events don't fill up (and why the biggest promoters in the world have flopped too) → The truth about vlogging: what Gary Vee taught him, what 10 years of trial and error looks like, and why your audience decides what works — not you → The predatory side of production: late payments, net-30 traps, and how to protect yourself with contracts and deposits → Why LinkedIn still matters in 2026 — and how the algorithm has shiftedShow Notes and TranscriptVisit the website to get the transcriptions, notes and more insights from the episodes:https://n0bspodcasts.comWhat is the podcast?This podcast is for anyone who wants to learn what it’s really like running a business.

  S3 E9: It Took 22 Years To Get This Film Made. Here's Why I Didn't Quit with Carla Berkowitz 04.06.2026 58min

  From pawn to queen — what chess, bullying, and 20 years of persistence taught one filmmaker about life and business.In this episode of No Bullsh*t Talks, I sit down with Carla Berkowitz — Venezuelan-born filmmaker, martial artist, former anti-Nazi spy (yes, really), and the creator behind the critically acclaimed chess documentary Critical Thinking (starring John Leguizamo and Michael K. Williams). Carla is also the executive producer of the upcoming documentary Madwoman's Game, which has its world premiere at the Miami Film Festival.We get into all of it: moving to the US at 11 without speaking English, being bullied every day until high school, catching Nazis for 11 years with the Anti-Defamation League, producing 15 fitness videos before anyone took her seriously as a filmmaker, and how a Sunday newspaper article in 1998 sparked a 20-year journey to make a movie.

  S3 E7: The Truth About Female Founder Cliques And Performative Feminism with Amy Kean 17.04.2026 1h 9min

  Everyone's talking about empowering women. Not everyone means it.Amy Kean is the CEO of Good Shout, a social psychologist in training, and the founder of the Unlikable Woman Summit - a movement for women who've been told they're too much, too loud, or too direct. She's also one of the most honest voices in the room when it comes to calling out the BS that hides behind women's empowerment branding.In this episode, Sabrina and Amy get into the conversations most people in this space are too scared to have. The female founder cliques that operate exactly like old boys clubs. The corporate hijacking of International Women's Day by a management consultancy with zero feminist credentials. Why feminism has become too polished and palatable to actually change anything. And what it really costs women who dare to speak up publicly.This is not an episode about victims. It's an episode about what happens when you refuse to shut up - and why more women need to do exactly that.In this episode:Why Amy left a 17-year advertising career and what it taught her about women's voicesThe concept of "likeability labour" and why it's silently killing women's careersWhat gravitas actually means — and why it's being used as a weapon against womenThe real story behind International Women's Day.com (and who's actually profiting from it)Female founder cliques — how they work, who they exclude, and why they're just old boys clubs with better brandingThe Unlikable Woman Summit — why Amy built it and what happened when she put a giant vagina at the entrance68% of women have stopped speaking online — and why silence is the worst thing that can happen to any movementWhy AI fear-mongering is the newest form of unethical marketingWhat social media literacy actually means and why it's now a survival skillShow Notes and TranscriptVisit the website to get the transcriptions, notes and more insights from the episodes:https://n0bspodcasts.comWhat is the podcast?This podcast is for anyone who wants to learn what it’s really like running a business.

  S3 E6: Why Charging More Than Everyone Else Was Our Best Business Decision With Maxim Martin 09.04.2026 1h 3min

  What does it actually take to build the most expensive spa in London - and why would anyone deliberately price themselves out of reach of most customers?Maxim Martin, founder of Seven Bali Spa in central London, didn't stumble into luxury. He made a calculated decision to charge more than anyone else, serve a clientele that is 99% non-British, and build a business that runs on retention rather than acquisition. The results speak for themselves.In this episode, Sabrina and Maxim get into the real economics of running a brick and mortar business in central London, why online businesses are far more competitive than people admit, and what most founders get completely wrong about pricing, cash flow and customer service.This is not a feel-good founder story. It's an honest breakdown of what it actually costs, what nearly broke them, and why doing less - but doing it better - beat every growth hack they could have tried.🔑 In this episode: •    Why Maxim pivoted from online copywriting to a physical spa - and what AI had to do with it    •    The real cost of opening a central London space (the numbers will surprise you)    •    Why 99% of their customers are non-British and what that says about knowing your market    •    How they survived 18 months of losses without panicking    •    The pricing psychology behind charging more than everyone else    •    Why customer retention beats acquisition every single time    •    The commission structure that transformed their team's attitude to selling    •    What London businesses consistently get wrong about customer serviceShow Notes and TranscriptVisit the website to get the transcriptions, notes and more insights from the episodes:https://n0bspodcasts.comWhat is the podcast?This podcast is for anyone who wants to learn what it’s really like running a business.
