In this episode, Roy sits down with Mike Swigunski, entrepreneur, investor, and #1 bestselling author on a mission to help millions of people Earn From Anywhere. Mike traces his path from a small Missouri suburb where he didn't take his first flight until 18, through running a university study-abroad program at 20, to a devastating turning point at 22 — losing his mother to breast cancer just a month before graduation — that pushed him to book a one-way flight to Europe rather than take a safe corporate job. He shares how he became employee #4 at Empire Flippers, helping scale it into a 100-person remote team and the world's largest curated marketplace for online businesses, and the "POWER" framework he built from watching thousands of acquisitions to identify what actually makes a business valuable. They dig into the platform risks of Amazon FBA and affiliate businesses, the coming shift toward advertising inside AI chat tools, the real craft behind his TEDx talk and the hero's journey structure behind it, his NOMAD framework for choosing where to live abroad, and his new venture, Dividends — a platform letting everyday investors put as little as $100 into fractional ownership of cash-flowing online businesses.

In this episode, Roy sits down with Paul Boulton, a professional psychic and therapist from Australia with over two decades of experience, whose client list has included CEOs, doctors, psychologists, and even former nuns and priests. Paul traces his story from an intuitively attuned childhood, through a difficult schooling experience, to firewalking at 1,100 degrees and studying under influential figures in the consciousness field. He introduces his concept of the "pre-incarnation contract" — a framework he uses in his therapeutic work to help clients understand the challenges they carry — and speaks candidly about the categories of trauma and violation he works with most often in his practice, and why he developed his own therapeutic tapping method, Targeted EFT, after finding tarot and palmistry alone weren't enough to help clients move forward. Roy volunteers for a live reading on air, and Paul walks through tarot spreads and palmistry in real time, connecting what he sees to Roy's recent recovery from a spinal injury and his approach to relationships. The conversation closes with Paul's home energy-shielding practice and where to find his work.

In this episode, Roy sits down with Sam Swirsky, known online as "The Mayor of LinkedIn" and founder of Hilltop Media Partners. Sam shares the inside story of landing his role at Alex Hormozi's Acquisition.com — including the twist that he originally posted the job for his own connections before applying and beating them all to it — and reflects on what it was genuinely like working alongside Alex day to day. They dig deep into practical LinkedIn strategy: why engagement matters more than the algorithm boost, why "instruction-based" posts outperform opinion posts, the two ways content should "hurt" to actually land, and a clever tip for making custom GIFs from your own video clips. The conversation shifts into podcast guesting — Sam's own pivot into helping founders use guest appearances as source material for content — and from there into a genuinely revealing back-and-forth on why podcast download numbers lie, why the "right" show for you might have 50 downloads and be perfect anyway, and why every platform you're hosted on quietly under-reports its own numbers. Roy shares a real example of a guest-turned-business-partner going from 23,000 downloads in five years to 600,000 in three months once real strategy was applied. They close with concrete guidance on how a guest should actually position an offer on someone else's show without it feeling like a sales pitch. Timestamps 0:02 – Introducing Sam Swirsky and his background with Acquisition.com 1:49 – How Sam landed the job at Acquisition.com — recommending it to others before applying himself 4:03 – Is Alex Hormozi's "full steam ahead" persona real or just for content? 4:32 – Sam's path into LinkedIn: no college degree, COVID layoffs, and catching the platform's rise in 2020 6:07 – How LinkedIn has changed over 15 years, and the platform's constant upsells 7:54 – Why LinkedIn's own feature changes (invite limits, load-more buttons) reflect its evolving priorities 8:34 – Why some posts get massive engagement and others get crickets 8:35 – The difference between opinion-based and instruction-based posts, and why content should "hurt" in two specific ways 12:16 – Sharing podcast clips on LinkedIn: video limits, RSS tracking, and why it's still worth doing 13:34 – Repurposing podcast transcripts as LinkedIn text posts, and the "make your own GIF" trick 16:07 – The ethics of resharing other people's viral content versus creating original value 16:36 – A real example: 3 million views a month with zero resulting business 21:09 – Two categories of social growth: entertainment brands versus business brands 21:09 – Why "more views" is often the wrong goal — funnels, profile clarity, and clear calls to action 23:14 – Why your LinkedIn profile shouldn't read like a job application if you run your own business 23:14 – What actually makes an "offer" versus a vague description of what you do 26:03 – Transitioning into Sam's podcast guesting business 26:23 – Why AI-written LinkedIn content falls flat, and how podcast guesting became Sam's source-material solution 29:54 – The "spray and pray" pitching problem, and why claimed audience numbers are often fake 33:44 – Why the relationship with the podcast host matters more than the guest's own potential leads 36:16 – Roy's real example: a guest who became a client, referral partner, and business collaborator — growing from 23K to 600K downloads in three months 40:48 – Why a niche show with 50 downloads can be worth more than a "top 1%" show 44:39 – Why podcast download and listener numbers are never fully accurate across any platform 46:57 – Regional Apple Podcasts ratings, and how misreading them nearly cost Sam a client opportunity 48:14 – Getting banned from YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook for exposing fraud and corruption — and turning it into content anyway 49:52 – Why chasing distribution across every platform at once usually backfires 50:39 – Old, inflated follower counts from platforms people no longer engage with, and how some hosts misuse those numbers to justify guest fees 53:15 – How a guest should position an offer on a show without it feeling like an advertisement 55:12 – Where to find Sam and what's next for him on YouTube About Sam Swirsky Sam Swirsky, known as "The Mayor of LinkedIn," is the founder of Hilltop Media Partners.

In this episode, Roy sits down with award-winning actor, writer, and producer Niki J. Borger, creator and star of the upcoming sitcom NFTease. Niki traces her path from growing up in Germany with only 10% depth perception, to becoming a musical theatre performer, to transitioning into Hollywood film and eventually producing her own work — including a five-minute short film shot for $367 on two iPhones that went on to earn 20 festival selections, 7 nominations, and 4 awards. As a performer who's worked everything from musical theatre stages to documentary theatre in active conflict zones, Niki speaks candidly about the craft behind holding an audience, adapting to wildly different performance environments, and turning setbacks into her strongest material. They dig into NFTease itself: the premise of three insecure NFT-startup founders forced to partner with a group of "influencers" who turn out to be something else entirely, and the investor structure behind it.

In this episode, Roy sits down with Tyler Henn, founder of Hennhouse Digital Growth Studio, a local SEO agency helping contractors and service businesses get found on Google Maps and now AI platforms. Tyler shares his journey from a UX design degree, to eight years at a car dealership, to a full-commission leap into roofing sales during a Georgia hailstorm, to finally building his own SEO agency from a single free website he offered a friend. They dig deep into how AI search actually works — why ChatGPT and Gemini essentially "Google it for you" when they don't already know an entity, why that makes online content about yourself something you have to actively build rather than wait for, and how easily that process can currently be manipulated. Tyler also breaks down his own podcast production workflow using Riverside and Metricool, his three-stage SEO funnel (using pizza as the running example), why he never lets clients respond to bad reviews, and the surprisingly common myth around using a home address for a Google Business Profile.

The failure of successive Conservative governments to build sufficient prison capacity to accommodate the growing prison population handed Labour a criminal justice crisis which demanded urgent action. In enacting the Sentencing Act in January 2026, Parliament approved the "earned progression" model recommended by the Gauke Sentencing Review which held out some hope of long term relief from the perma-crisis afflicting our penal system. But in the face of sustained media pressure concerning the release of the killers of PC Harper, Andy Burnham's first major policy decision as PM has been to water down the release scheme in a way guaranteed to sustain the very crisis which the 2026 Act was crafted to resolve (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sentencing-act-offence-exclusions). For expert legal commentary on the depressing statement delivered to Parliament on 1st September by Labour's third Lord Chancellor in 2 years and its implications for UK law and current political events, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined on Double Jeopardy by the Institute for Government's Associate Director, Cassia Rowland. Why did former Justice Secretary, David Lammy, not prepare the public for the coming into force of the Sentencing Act's release provisions with the result that the summer media frenzy over the release of PC Harper's killers caused Burnham to abandon key features of the early release scheme? What hope is there for achieving a long term reduction in our use of imprisonment if politicians simply collapse in the face of media stories linked to high-profile legal cases? Ken and Tim also discuss the $17 billion settlement agreed on 26th August between Meta and US States in the federal child safety lawsuit alleging that Meta designed its apps (Facebook and Instagram) to be addictive to children and knew about the risks those platforms posed but hid that information from the public. Finally they discuss the alarming implications of the US government's decision to designate Palestine Action as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist organisation in terms of its impact on freedom of expression and on any persons convicted in the future of a Terrorism Act offence related to supporting PA. -- Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy. With in-depth discussions and influential guests, Double Jeopardy is the podcast that uncovers the forces shaping Britain's legal and political future.  What happens when politics and law collide? How do politics shape the law - and when does the law push back? What happens when judicial independence is tested, human rights come under attack, or freedom of expression is challenged? And who really holds power in Britain's legal and political system?  Get answers to questions like these weekly on Wednesdays.  Double Jeopardy is presented by Ken Macdonald KC, former Director of Public Prosecutions, and Tim Owen KC, as they break down the legal and political issues in Britain. From high-profile legal cases to the evolving state of British democracy, Double Jeopardy offers expert legal commentary on the most pressing topics in UK law, politics, and human rights.  Ken Macdonald KC served as Director of Public Prosecutions from 2003 2008, shaping modern prosecutorial policy and advocating for the rule of law. He is a former Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, a crossbench member of the House of Lords, and a leading writer, commentator and broadcaster on politics and the rule of law.  Tim Owen KC has been involved in many of the most significant public, criminal and human rights law cases over the past four decades.  Both bring unparalleled experience from the frontline of Britain's legal and political landscape.  If you like The Rest Is Politics, Talking Politics, Law Pod UK and Today i Focus, you'll love Double Jeopardy.

In this episode, Roy sits down with Richard Wilmore, award-winning talk show host, podcast producer, and the creative force behind Make Your Day Richer. Richard traces his 30-year journey from talking to imaginary guests in his childhood bedroom, to converting his basement into a full studio, to filming a live variety show in front of a comedy club audience with three cameras he had to edit solo. They dig into the real trade-offs between live and recorded interviews, Richard's hybrid approach using tools like StreamYard and EvieMux to make virtual guests look like they're sitting right next to him, and his surprisingly simple hack for a comfortable in-studio backdrop. The conversation turns candid on AI tools for podcasters (and why YouTube's own auto-generated timestamps beat most AI transcription tools), the ongoing debate over charging guests to appear, and the growing problem of hosts and guests who no-show or ghost without so much as a thank-you. Richard also shares his honest take on chasing "bigger" podcasts versus finding the right-fit audience, and the small production habits — clean backgrounds, no blurred-out heads, good audio — that separate a show people trust from one they don't. About Richard Wilmore Richard Wilmore is an award-winning talk show host, podcast producer, and the creative engine behind Make Your Day Richer.

In this episode of the Awakening Podcast, Roy Coughlan is joined once again by Russell Paul Arter for the latest instalment in their ongoing sovereignty series. Building on the foundational episodes covering status correction, estate reclamation and status protection, Russell walks through the practical documents, lawful procedures and structures involved in creating a private estate — and explains how a sovereign man or woman can step outside the public system and begin building protected, multi-generational wealth. What You'll Discover in This Episode A clear recap of the journey from citizenship to sovereignty — and why the citizen is a legal fiction, not you What a private estate actually is, how it differs from a public estate, and why most people are unknowingly operating entirely within Crown State authority The three-layer private estate structure — the estate itself, the order of overseers, and the master benefit — and how each layer serves a distinct protective function How to convey equity from a public estate into a private one in a tax-free, lawful way using a private contract of exchange and deferred investment Why the master benefit is structured as an irrevocable charitable and missionary organisation — and how that protects the equity from family members, public agencies and the Inland Revenue The public adjudication process — how to publish a public notice and use a state-approved notary to have your private estate recognised as a fact of law How to establish a bank account for a private estate using the legal proxy method and unincorporated association structure Why you must understand and embody all of this yourself — and why handing it to someone else is the single biggest mistake you can make Key Takeaways The citizen is a legal avatar — a construct in law. You as a living man or woman are not the citizen Everything currently registered, licensed or incorporated in the public domain is part of your public estate under the authority of the Crown Estate A private estate can hold property, assets, business interests and investments outside the system — with equity protection and tax immunity The elite families have used exactly this type of structure for generations to build and protect multi-generational wealth You cannot hand this process to someone else — you must become the law, embody the documents and take full personal responsibility Lawful is operating under your own sovereign authority — legal is operating under the jurisdiction and authority of the system Freedom is found in responsibility — when you know everything, you can defend everything How to Connect with Russell Paul Arter
