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.

Video SummaryHarri Davies hasn't applied for a job since 2011. Instead, he's spent his career finding founders with real problems and pitching himself as the person to solve them - from corporate law and tackling inequality in the legal profession, to running an accelerator helping graduates and mid-career professionals build profitable businesses from scratch.In this episode, Harri joins Sabrina to make a compelling case for the "Company of One" - a model that prioritises autonomy, profitability and freedom over headcount, VC funding and vanity metrics. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jenna Zhang built Sipzen, a TCM-inspired sparkling wellness drink, after being diagnosed with PCOS and Hashimoto's and deciding Western medicine wasn't enough. In this episode, we get into the real story behind launching a physical product from scratch, being turned down by 80% of development companies, managing a team of people twice your age at 23, and what happened when a marketing agency turned out to be running a quarter-million-pound fraud scheme - and Jenna went full CIA to expose it.This is one of those conversations that just keeps going deeper.We cover:- Why 3,500 years of TCM data gets dismissed as old wives' tales in the West- How Jenna designed packaging that's genuinely impossible to copy- What it's like being a young woman managing older men who don't want to be managed- Going from South Brooklyn to becoming CEO of a carbon credits startup at 23- The marketing fraud that affected 18 businesses - and why Jenna was the only one who did anything about it- Why the UK courts give you a judgment but don't actually help you collectShow 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.

What does it actually take to build a personal brand that works? Joe Gannon, founder of personal branding and content agency Amplify, has been behind some of the biggest names in the creator economy — including Chris Williamson (now top 10 on Spotify's Global charts) and Ali Abdaal. In this episode, we get into the real story: the burnout, the business lessons he learned three years too late, the difference between building an audience and generating leads, and why most people are doing personal branding completely wrong.If you've ever wondered whether you actually need a personal brand, whether it's worth the time, or how to know if your content is landing for the right reasons — this one's for you.In this episode:– How Joe accidentally started an agency (and didn't realise it for three years)– The one email that changed everything– Why your personal brand is already working — just not intentionally– Audience path vs leads path: which one are you on?– The biggest lie in the personal branding space– Why long-form content has no hiding place for bullshitShow 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.

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. We also talk about the racism she encountered when selling the film internationally — something she's sharing on camera for the very first time.If you've ever felt like a pawn — head down, grinding, wondering if it's worth it — this conversation is for you.🔗 Links Mentioned in VideoCritical ThinkingMadwoman's GameShow 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.
