In this profound and enlightening episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes the trailblazing entrepreneur and master storyteller, Jorge Olson, for an in-depth conversation that traverses borders, industries, and the very core of what it means to be resilient, innovative, and authentically driven. Titled “From Tijuana to Wall Street: Jorge Olson on Branding, Capital, and Entrepreneurial Grit,” this episode is not just a window into the highs and lows of startup life, but a masterclass in mindset, storytelling, and the relentless pursuit of creative freedom. Jorge Olson's journey reads like a modern hero's tale. Raised in impoverished conditions in Tijuana, Mexico—without running water or electricity—he grew up surrounded not by business plans, but by art, literature, and philosophy. Jorge shares how these formative years did not teach him about money, but gave him the more foundational qualities required for success: compassion, honesty, hard work, and above all, an insatiable hunger to change his circumstances. He candidly recalls hauling buckets of water as a child, rejecting the idea that poverty was his permanent reality, and forging a vision that would eventually span across borders. As the conversation unfolds, Jorge unpacks the evolution of his mindset from survival to success, culminating in his rise as an executive and his subsequent realization that financial achievement as an employee did not equate to true freedom. For Jorge, time and creativity—not just the grind—are the true currencies of freedom. This pivot to entrepreneurship, he explains, wasn't just about making money, but about crafting a life where daily pursuits of writing, art, and imagination could take center stage. Transparency about adversity threads deeply throughout the episode. Jorge openly discusses the impact of a traumatic brain injury that dramatically altered his capability, drive, and self-perception. From leading companies and clocking marathon days at trade shows, he was forced to reconstruct his routines and ambitions around limited physical and mental energy. Yet, rather than succumbing to grief or limitation, Jorge reframed his priorities: making every hour, every creative act, every single interaction—not just sufficient, but deeply meaningful. This raw vulnerability becomes an uplifting call to listeners struggling with setbacks: You are not alone, and there is power in redefining what “winning” means. When it comes to branding, Jorge delivers actionable wisdom rooted in decades of success launching over a thousand products and taking five companies public. He advocates for an outcome-driven process, starting with the intended result and the customer avatar, before meticulously working backward through audience research, pricing, and emotional connection. He outlines practical branding strategies through real-world examples, such as his upcoming beverage brand, Calmara, aimed at fans of meditation, anime, and Japanese culture. The secret sauce? Forging emotional resonance through storytelling, community engagement, and delivering experiences that turn customers into brand advocates. Jorge doesn't shy away from the hard truths behind raising capital, either. He reveals what truly moves investors: a compelling story, not just financial projections. He stresses the importance of knowing your target investor, crafting kitchen-table pitches for early-stage deals, practicing your delivery, and never relying on empty clichés like “capturing 1% of a massive market.” Jorge recounts common pitch failures—such as obsessing over NDAs and lack of preparation—and emphasizes that founders must know their numbers inside-out and be able to articulate a realistic, ambitious, and credible vision. A hallmark of this episode is its exploration of creativity and execution. Jorge describes his process of managing multiple ventures, writing several books simultaneously, and treating every project as a canvas for creative growth. Having endured life-altering physical limitations, he now balances relentless creative output with strict physical therapy, nutritional discipline, and mindful routines, all while amplifying his impact as a mentor and a master of personal branding. Listeners are also treated to entertaining and insightful behind-the-scenes stories about collaborating with celebrities like Dennis Rodman, Rick Ross, and Snoop Dogg on product launches. Jorge demystifies what distinguishes celebrity projects from regular entrepreneurial ventures—often, less ego and more trust in the experts around them—and highlights the speed, professionalism, and storytelling prowess required to succeed at scale. As the episode nears its close, Jorge and Wize's conversation moves to legacy—a topic both personal and universal. Jorge aspires to leave an indelible mark through his books, ensuring that his strategies, philosophy, and inspiration reach minorities and future entrepreneurs in both the US and Mexico. Wize, meanwhile, vulnerably shares his own hero's journey through loss, trauma, and reinvention, echoing the episode's core messages of resilience and purposeful living. “From Tijuana to Wall Street” is far more than an interview—it is a narrative tapestry woven from the struggles and triumphs of those who refuse to accept the limits set before them. Through Jorge Olson's lived experience and candid advice, listeners of all backgrounds—be they aspiring entrepreneurs, creatives, or anyone feeling ‘stuck'—will find motivation to push boundaries, embrace creative rituals, master the art of storytelling, and above all, make every moment count. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to transform adversity into achievement and craft a lasting legacy built on grit, impact, and authenticity.
Blade Tooling, based in Pershore, has recently taken control of its wire-cutting EDM operations by investing in the Excetek V400G CNC wire EDM machine, supplied by Warwick Machine Tools. This decision was prompted by capacity shortfall that resulted in reliance on outsourcing for wire EDM services. Established over four decades ago, Blade Tooling began as a family-owned business specialising in lost wax pattern dies for the investment casting industry. After financial difficulties in 2011, it was acquired by Gardner Aerospace, supporting aerospace manufacturers including Rolls-Royce, Pratt & Whitney and Siemens. However, in 2017, Gardner Aerospace's acquisition by a Chinese company created challenges. Company Director Ian Cerrone explains: “Because of what we do to support cast turbine blade production, a lot of customers walked away. They did not want their intellectual property potentially shared with China. The perceived risk was there, and our order book suffered.” Sales dropped from £6m to £3m by 2022. Following negotiations, Blade Tooling became part of GIL Investments in March 2024. “Previous customers have come back and we have signed nine new NDAs in the last 12 months. We are now UK-owned, and former concerns have been removed,” says Cerrone. With new ownership came investment. “We were spending a lot on subcontract wire eroding. I said to the new owner, ‘For what we're spending, we could buy our own machine.' The answer was, ‘Well, why haven't you then?' It was quite refreshing,” Cerrone reflects. Blade Tooling relies heavily on CNC wire erosion for core tooling, essential for creating sacrificial ceramic cores that form intricate airflow paths within cast turbine blades. The hardened tools require wire erosion to create holes for pins, apertures, slots, and slides. “We had to send work to subcontract wirers because we didn't have capacity,” Cerrone recalls. After researching Excetek machines and noting positive reviews, he contacted nearby Warwick Machine Tools in Droitwich. A demonstration at their showroom proved the Excetek V400G was perfect for Blade Tooling's requirements. With 400 by 300mm travel and ability to accommodate workpieces up to 500kg, the machine offers versatility in a compact design. The standout feature is its auto wire feed. “All reviews stated the auto wire feed was unbelievable. The machine never stops, it just keeps feeding. Our other machine is forever stopping overnight,” says Cerrone. The new machine has given Blade Tooling control over production schedules. Previously, subcontracting left them reliant on others. “We've had jobs scrapped due to delays. If the promised delivery by Monday arrived Friday, those four lost days would have put us behind on tight lead times.” Now, with doubled capacity, they control their timeline. Looking ahead, the company is expanding from 35 to 45 staff and aiming to return to £6m turnover. Cerrone concludes: “What we make relies on high-end engineering. Every person here has pride in what they do, and everything is bespoke. Our people rely on the equipment we invest in, and we are very pleased to have installed the Excetek V400G.”

Confidentiality and NDAs are frequently used by employers to silence those who've been sexually harassed at work. But why should victim-survivors have to stay quiet? The Australian Human Rights Commission has called for changes to the Sex Discrimination Act to restrict the use of confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements in workplace harassment cases, among other recommendations. Sex Discrimination Commissioner Dr Anna Cody joins the conversation to share more on the recommendations, the opportunity for education in schools and why some groups are more vulnerable to harassment than others. You can find more from the the AHRC's Speaking From Experience report here. The AHRC has also released a series of free resources to support workers and employers in understanding their rights and responsibilities under the new Positive Duty at Work.

In the wake of controversy over OpenAI's restrictive nondisclosure agreements, a bipartisan group of senators has introduced the AI Whistleblower Protection Act. In this episode, Lawfare Research Director Alan Rozenshtein spoke with Charlie Bullock, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Law & AI and co-author of a new Lawfare article on the bill, about its key provisions. They discuss why this bill is an important, light-touch proposal that offers a way to increase government access to information about AI risks.They cover two of the bill's most important features: how it fills a significant gap in existing law by protecting disclosures about “substantial and specific dangers” to public safety, even if no specific laws have been broken, and how the bill prevents companies from using contracts and NDAs to waive the whistleblower rights it creates.To accompany the episode, be sure to read the new piece by Bullock and Mackenzie Arnold, "Protecting AI Whistleblowers.”To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

This special remastered episode of the Lawyerist Podcast features Stephanie's conversation with Geoff Woods, author of The AI-Driven Leader. We're re-releasing it due to positive feedback on the depth of this discussion, ensuring you'll gain new insights and "aha!" moments with every listen. In this episode, we explore AI's transformative power, viewing it not as a threat, but as a liberator that enhances our work. We dive into the five core human skills to emphasize in an AI-driven world: strategic thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and creation. We demonstrate how to leverage AI strategically, from evaluating business plans to acting as a growth-minded board member, and you'll hear how we're integrating AI into our own leadership meetings. Geoff shares real-world examples of using AI as a "thought partner" to stress-test major strategic decisions, even creating an "AI board of advisors." He also provides practical applications for lawyers, such as using AI to review NDAs, stress-test legal arguments, and role-play closing arguments with AI as your jury. To guide your own AI journey, Geoff outlines his "CRIT" framework (Context, Role, Interview, Task) for effective prompting and highlights the importance of understanding AI model settings for data privacy and confidentiality.

An NDA, or Non-Disclosure Agreement, is a legal contract between at least two parties that outlines confidential material, knowledge, or information that the parties wish to share with one another for certain purposes, but wish to restrict access to or by third parties.NDAs are used for various reasons:Protecting Intellectual Property: Businesses often use NDAs to safeguard their trade secrets, proprietary information, or other sensitive data from being disclosed to competitors or the public.Maintaining Confidentiality: In certain business dealings, such as partnerships, mergers, or acquisitions, sensitive information may be shared between parties. NDAs ensure that this information remains confidential and is not used for purposes other than what is agreed upon.Facilitating Collaboration: When multiple parties collaborate on a project, they may need to share sensitive information to achieve their goals. NDAs help establish trust among collaborators by legally binding them to maintain confidentiality.Preventing Information Leakage: Employees, contractors, or consultants often have access to sensitive information about a company's operations, products, or plans. NDAs help prevent them from disclosing this information to unauthorized individuals or entities.In this episode, we get a look at what a standard NPA in the world of Diddy consists of.(commercial at 10:00)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.616406.16.2.pdf (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a legal contract used to protect sensitive and confidential information shared between parties. It creates a confidential relationship between the parties to protect any type of confidential and proprietary information or trade secrets.In the context of relationships, particularly those involving rich and famous individuals, NDAs are often used to maintain privacy and confidentiality. When celebrities or wealthy individuals engage in personal relationships, they may use NDAs to prevent their partners from disclosing any details of the relationship, including intimate details, personal conversations, financial information, or other sensitive matters.The NDA typically outlines what information is considered confidential, the obligations of both parties to maintain confidentiality, the duration of the agreement, and the consequences of breaching the agreement, which may include legal action and financial penalties.Rich and famous individuals may utilize NDAs in their personal relationships for several reasons:Privacy Protection: Celebrities and wealthy individuals often value their privacy and may want to prevent any details of their personal lives from becoming public knowledge.Protecting Reputation: NDAs can help protect the reputation of both parties involved by preventing potentially damaging information from being disclosed.Preserving Business Interests: In some cases, personal relationships may involve discussions about business ventures or proprietary information. NDAs can ensure that such information remains confidential.However, it's important to note that NDAs have limitations, especially when it comes to legal investigations by law enforcement:Limited Scope: NDAs cannot be used to prevent someone from reporting illegal activity to law enforcement. If the information covered by the NDA is related to criminal activity, the NDA may not hold up in court.Public Interest Exception: In cases where public safety or the public interest is at stake, courts may invalidate NDAs or allow individuals to disclose information protected by the agreement.Evidence in Legal Proceedings: NDAs may not prevent someone from disclosing information if subpoenaed by a court or required to testify in a legal proceeding.In this episode, we learn why NDA's are worth less than the paper they are printed on when it comes to law enforcement, and how previously signed NDA's might come back to haunt Diddy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy accusers can't be silenced by NDAs in trafficking probe: experts | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Starting a business without addressing essential legal requirements is gambling with your future success. In this eye-opening conversation with intellectual property and business attorney Ana Junca, we explore the critical legal foundations every entrepreneur needs to establish from day one.Ana reveals why most entrepreneurs fall into two dangerous categories—the accidental entrepreneur who stumbles into success without preparation, and the intentional but sloppy entrepreneur who plans inadequately. Both approaches create significant vulnerabilities that could destroy your business. She walks us through crafting a comprehensive business plan that satisfies legal requirements while setting you up for financial success.The LLC vs. sole proprietorship debate gets settled once and for all, with Ana providing compelling reasons why an LLC is worth every penny for the protection it offers. We explore the nuances of industry-specific licenses and permits, essential contracts every business needs (from operating agreements to NDAs), and website compliance issues that are leading to costly lawsuits against even the smallest businesses.Perhaps most valuable is Ana's expert guidance on intellectual property protection in the age of AI-generated content. She clarifies the critical differences between trademarks, copyrights, and patents, explaining exactly what entrepreneurs should prioritize based on their business model. When content theft happens, Ana shares the step-by-step approach to effectively address infringement without wasting thousands on unnecessary legal fees.Ready to protect everything you're building?

Welcome back to another Friday special. This week's bonus episode features an interview with campaigner Zelda Perkins, a former assistant to Harvey Weinstein, originally broadcast on our Times Radio afternoon show (2–4 pm, Monday to Thursday). Zelda was the first woman to break a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in 2017—an agreement she had signed decades earlier with Harvey Weinstein. She brought the systematic abuse of NDAs to the attention of the British Government and international press, giving evidence at two parliamentary inquiries that uncovered an epidemic of misuse. Her testimony also prompted the Solicitors Regulation Authority to take disciplinary action against the lawyer who had drafted the NDA for Weinstein. Since 2017, Zelda has been campaigning for legislative and regulatory reform in the UK. In September 2021, she co-launched the global campaign Can't Buy My Silence with Canadian co-founder, Professor Julie Macfarlane.

70-Year NDA's - How Diddy's Legal Empire Allegedly Silenced Victims Beyond Death Aubrey O'Day's shocking revelation about Sean "Diddy" Combs' insulting $300.30 NDA offer exposes the calculated cruelty behind the entertainment industry's silencing tactics. In September 2023, just two months before Cassie's explosive lawsuit would bring down the Bad Boy empire, Diddy allegedly offered the former Danity Kane member exactly $300.30 to sign away her rights to ever tell her story again. This wasn't about money – it was about sending a message that her trauma was worthless. This deep dive analysis examines the psychological warfare behind abusive NDAs and how they've been weaponized in the entertainment industry for decades. Legal experts call Diddy's NDAs "the broadest ever seen" and "terrifying" in their scope, designed to silence victims not just for their lifetimes, but for up to 70 years – extending 20 years beyond Diddy's own death. Federal prosecutors are now using these very NDAs as evidence in their criminal case, marking a historic shift in how the justice system treats these predatory contracts. We'll break down the legal loopholes that enabled this systematic abuse, explore the profound psychological damage inflicted on survivors, and examine how the recent Speak Out Act and other legislative reforms are finally dismantling this culture of silence. From Aubrey O'Day's brave rejection of Diddy's insulting offer to the federal investigation that's exposing decades of alleged abuse, this case represents a watershed moment in entertainment industry accountability. The evidence reveals a sophisticated system of intimidation where NDAs lasting 70 years prevented victims from speaking to family, friends, or even therapists about their experiences. Mental health experts explain how these agreements create "secondary trauma" that can be more damaging than the original abuse, trapping survivors in a legal prison of silence that prevents healing and recovery. #DiddyCase #NDAs #BadBoyRecords #AubreyODay #LegalAnalysis #EntertainmentAbuse #SpeakOutAct #FederalInvestigation #VictimRights #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week, Jason is joined by one of Hollywood's most talked about enigmas, Sam Asghari! You may know him as the fitness trainer turned actor, or maybe as the former partner of pop icon Britney Spears, but there's so much more behind the headlines. From humble beginnings to the bright lights of Los Angeles, Sam carved his lane in modeling, acting, and inspiring millions through fitness. But in 2025, he took a wildly unexpected turn by stepping into the ultimate mind game on The Traitors season three. In a Scottish castle surrounded by lies, alliances, and backstabbing drama, Sam got the full reality TV experience with some of the biggest reality TV stars. Sam joins the show to break down his experience on The Traitors alongside Dylan Efron, including the real story behind their rescue of swimmers in Florida. He shares his journey from Iran to the U.S., his first professional gig, and how he pivoted from playing football to modeling and booking a Super Bowl commercial on his very first audition. Sam opens up about his relationship with Britney Spears, the music video he almost turned down, and sets the record straight on common misconceptions about his career. He reflects on getting fired from his first job, the ambition that's driven him forward, and the life lessons he learned from his uncle. He also gets candid about navigating contracts like NDAs, prenups, and gag orders, how he approaches relationships with care in the public eye, and what he's discovered about money, happiness, and being intentional with his actions. Plus, he reveals which other reality shows tried to recruit him—and why he said no. Sam reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

The Biggest Contract Mistakes Apparel Founders Make (That Could Cost You Thousands) In this episode, Rachel shares a very personal story that highlights a critical legal and business lesson for every apparel entrepreneur: always get it in writing.

Whether you're navigating NDAs, supplier terms, or a difficult landlord, listening to this episode will help you avoid costly mistakes and operate your business like a pro. In this episode, you'll hear: - Why you should never rely solely on verbal agreements - get it in writing! - The essential contracts every apparel business needs. - Rachel's personal story of rental miscommunication. - Never sign a contract you're not 100% comfortable with.

In this gripping episode, we break down Day 10 of the Sean “Diddy” Combs federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial. On the stand: Capricorn Clark, a longtime employee and former assistant to Combs, who testified in chilling detail about being pushed, threatened, and psychologically terrorized. Clark told jurors Combs once said he'd “have to kill her” over past ties to Death Row Records, described a break-in at Kid Cudi's house with a gun, and witnessed Combs violently kick Cassie Ventura while threatening others in the room. She also detailed his frequent drug use, Molotov cocktail arson, and elaborate cover-ups using NDAs and intimidation. Plus: Who's the next major witness expected to take the stand? What does this mean for the RICO case?

Mark Curry, a former artist signed to Sean "Diddy" Combs' Bad Boy Records, recently alleged that Diddy used non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to silence A-list artists in exchange for returning their music publishing rights. According to Curry, Diddy anticipated legal challenges and offered artists their publishing rights back in exchange for signing NDAs, which would prevent them from discussing him publicly. This move reportedly occurred just before Diddy faced a lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.Curry himself claims he refused to sign an NDA and has since spoken out about his experience with Bad Boy Records, stating that Diddy's actions were a calculated attempt to cover his tracks amid the looming legal troubles. He shared these allegations during The Trial of Diddy, a podcast that explores the various accusations against the music mogul.(commercial at 7:28)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Everything changed when women dared to speak up. This week, with my co-host, criminal behavioral analyst Laura Richards, and special guest ex-CIA spy Andrew Bustamante by my side, we're dissecting the walls of power, money, intimidation, and silence surrounding Diddy's alleged abuse. We break down Cassie's mother's pivotal testimony, explore the mechanics of coercion, sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and lay out practical strategies for any woman feeling trapped by threats and shame. We ask the uncomfortable questions: When the world won't protect women, what does justice really look like? And—how do we take back our stories, our safety, and our agency, even when going up against the untouchable?

A bill requiring classroom displays of the Ten Commandments in public schools passed the Texas House on Sunday. The 82-46 vote sends the proposal back to the Senate before it goes to Gov. Greg Abbott. In other news, Texas is on the verge of banning the use of nondisclosure agreements to silence sexual abuse survivors after a key House vote Sunday. The ban would prevent NDAs from being used to prevent a survivor of sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, human trafficking or child sexual abuse from disclosing their abuse to others; a woman turned herself into police Wednesday following a fatal wrong-way crash in South Dallas earlier this month, police said; and the Dallas Stars now find themselves in a 2-1 hole after a 6-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman each scored a pair of goals and Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner made 31 saves. It marked the first time the Stars dropped back-to-back playoff games since this matchup against Edmonton last year. Game four of the series will be Tuesday in Edmonton.

Patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights: if you're building a startup, these aren't “nice to haves,” they're mission-critical. Locking down your intellectual property protects your ideas, your company, your product. And it makes your startup more attractive to investors. Whether it's your brand name, your technology, or your trade secrets, different types of IP protection help you avoid costly legal pitfalls, prevent copycats, and preserve your company's value as you scale. Too many founders wait until they've gained traction to think about IP. But that can be a costly mistake. Without the right protection in place early, you could lose rights, get hit with a cease and desist, or scare off potential investors during due diligence. In this episode, we break down the essential types of IP, what they are, why they matter, and how to make smart, early decisions to protect what you're building. I'm joined by Ray DiPerna, a veteran IP attorney with over 25 years of experience helping startups and high-growth companies protect and monetize their intellectual property. Ray shares why founders should think about their IP as early in the process as possible, and how to avoid costly mistakes. Topics Covered: What counts as IP and what investors expect to see protected The real cost (and strategy) behind patents and “patent pending” Trademark pitfalls that can derail your startup's brand How to handle IP created by employees and contractors How to monetize your IP through licensing or enforcement How to protect trade secrets, source code, branding, and more What to know about copyright for websites, images, and creative assets How to prioritize legal spend when funds are limited Today my guest is Ray DiPerna, who is an IP attorney admitted in California and New York.
