Scamming of your funds The Girls are all HOT BUT NOT REAL No video calls In fact no calls at all -- All Texting LISTEN IN and Get educated

Nikki St. Paul came into Jess's world when her business couldn't logically justify the investment. She deleted the message saying she was in. Jess had already screenshotted it. Muhaha.That moment .. the pull-back, the fear winning for about 24 hours, is where this conversation starts. And what happened in the months after is exactly what Jess talks about but rarely gets to show in real time: identity shifting not through strategy, but through the decision to move anyway, even when the obstacles are literal. Including a bank fraud team that needed to be convinced on a five-hour time difference that a near $30K wire transfer was not a scam.In this episode, Jess sits down with Nikki to trace the full arc .. from a low-ticket micro offer entry point, through Quarter Carnage, through the Ascension tier, to launching her own mastermind and selling out VIP spots for her live event in 48 hours. Not because she had the evidence or the revenue to justify each step. Because she stopped letting logic run the decision.What you'll hear: what the resistance actually looks and feels like at each stage (including nausea), why every obstacle that showed up was the identity work, not a sign to stop, what embodiment actually means when you stop treating it as a concept and start living it as a standard, and what Nikki would say to anyone sitting on the fence right now.Spoiler: she's very direct about it.

Ep 160Cole Jackson breaks down the latest fallout from Complex's Hip-Hop Media Power Ranking after Ebro and Peter Rosenberg call DJ Akademiks an “algorithm hustler.”Cole questions whether Ebro is being hypocritical, whether Complex is moving politically, and why certain voices only speak up when it benefits them.Later, Cole reacts to Latto announcing her “retirement album” and debates whether this is a real exit from rap or just rollout strategy.Timestamps(0:19) Ebro calls out Algro Hustle(3:07) Ebro has a problem with Ak and Complex(5:56) Cole looks deeper into Ebro's contributions(7:45) Scammer's in the Media Space(10:51) Final Thoughts(12:05) Latto's Retirement Announcment(14:04) This Could Be Real(16:51) What Will This Sound Like?(17:45) Cole's Corner: Rick Ross

Scam emails used to be obvious. Bad grammar, generic messaging, easy to ignore. That version is gone.Today's scams sound like a real professional—someone who's “read your book,” understands your audience, and has a polished, confident plan to grow your sales, land media, or build your platform. It feels legitimate because it's designed to. AI has fundamentally changed the scam landscape, and authors are now a prime target.We see these pitches every day—forwarded by authors who aren't quite sure what feels off, but know something isn't right. Fake PR firms. Fake podcast booking services. Fake reader communities. Even impersonators posing as established marketers and recognizable industry names. The volume is up, the quality is higher, and the financial risk is real.In this episode, we break down exactly how these scams are built so you can recognize them before you engage. You'll hear how flattery is engineered to disarm you, why vague “big picture” strategies are a deliberate tactic, and how scammers create just enough surface credibility to pass a quick Google search. We also walk through the critical moment every scam converges on: pushing you to pay quickly, before you've had time to verify anything.More importantly, we give you a clear, practical framework to protect yourself. What unsolicited outreach actually signals. Why free email domains should immediately slow you down. How artificial urgency (“only two spots left”) is used to bypass your judgment. And why “guaranteed results” without defined deliverables is one of the biggest red flags in book marketing.We also cover payment risk—where things like wire transfers and crypto remove your ability to recover funds—and the proactive steps you should be taking now to protect your author identity, including locking down your domain and social handles before someone else does.If you've ever received a pitch that felt a little too polished, a little too perfect, this episode will recalibrate how you evaluate every offer that lands in your inbox.Listen now, then share this with an author who needs it.Subscribe, leave a review wherever you listen, and text PODCAST to 888-402-8940 with the strangest (or most convincing) scam message you've received.Send us your feedback!Help shape our 2026 content by taking our 30-second listener poll!

A major thing I've uncovered in my reporting is that most of the H-1B-related scams are coming from Hyderabad, India. Instead of reporting that, CBS News went there and pushed the narrative that the city is a Silicon Valley-like tech hub whose workers are more skilled than Americans. Meanwhile, the visa scammer I exposed in my last H-1B video has scrubbed his Instagram of incriminating videos to cover for himself ... but we have the receipts. RINO Rep. Tony Gonzales (Texas) gets exposed in another sexual harassment scandal.
