Il décrit cet instant comme l'un des pires moments de sa vie. Kevin Mayer, recordman du monde du décathlon et figure majeure du sport français, revient sur sa non-participation aux Jeux Olympiques de Paris.Pour lui, le sport dépasse la simple performance : c'est une quête. Une quête de soi, de ses limites, de son intégrité. Une quête où la souffrance fait partie du chemin. Chaque compétition lui rappelle à quel point son corps est mis à l'épreuve… et pourtant, il avance, encore et toujours.Dans cet échange rare, Kevin se livre avec une sincérité bouleversante. Il nous parle de ses routines millimétrées, de méditation, de nutrition, de ses doutes, de ses sacrifices, mais aussi de cette hypersensibilité qu'il revendique comme sa plus grande force. Ensemble, nous évoquons le poids du regard des autres, la solitude au sommet, et cette capacité à transformer un échec public en victoire intime.C'est une conversation puissante, inspirante, qui éclaire l'homme derrière l'athlète. Je vous invite à l'écouter jusqu'au bout !Notes et références de l'épisode :

In this episode of BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio, host Tyler Jorgenson dives into Anik's fascinating backstory—from dropping a full-ride pre-med scholarship, stumbling through MLMs, and convincing his skeptical father that a $30,000 ClickBank check wasn't a scam, to building multimillion-dollar businesses like Sendlane, WebinarCon, and now Ugentic AI.Anik opens up about the highs and lows of his career, including the near-collapse that left him $1.7 million in debt, the life-threatening stress of Crohn's disease, and the brutal lessons he learned while trying (and failing) to build a tech company without the right foundation.

R. Kenner French interviews PR expert Jeremy Knauff on how press and media can rapidly expand a business. Jeremy's core thesis: building authority status is one of the highest-leverage moves an entrepreneur can make. Third-party validation from reputable outlets (e.g., Entrepreneur, Forbes, Inc.) cuts through skepticism, shortens sales cycles, and positions you as the credible solution. Authority is reinforced by a strong personal brand—each one amplifies the other.After a severe health crisis left him “invisible” for two years, Jeremy rebuilt from scratch using PR, SEO, and social—reclaiming prominence faster than ever. That firsthand turnaround led him to pivot his agency to focus entirely on PR so he could elevate founders who deliver real value (and drown out hype-driven pretenders). He's easy to find online (“Jeremy Knauff,” SpartanMedia.com), reflecting the same visibility he creates for clients.For professionals like real estate agents, Jeremy recommends low-lift credibility builders: accumulate authentic reviews on Google and LinkedIn, and cultivate engaged social profiles via collaboration with adjacent pros (title, mortgage, appraisers). His firm audits a client's online presence, builds a PR strategy, and actively pitches journalists. Thanks to deep relationships, they can often draft and submit expert quotes on a client's behalf—fast, accurate, and on-brand—so clients can focus on revenue-generating work.A marquee case: a once high-flying franchise cratered to ~$350k revenue after online reputation attacks. By positioning the new CEO as an industry authority through sustained PR (features, contributor roles, speaking), revenue rebounded to $8M+ and attracted contracts with DOD, NASA, and major leagues. On press releases, Jeremy's nuanced view: they work when paired with direct journalist pitching and help surface you in LLMs (ChatGPT, etc.). TV spots (e.g., Fox Business' Big Money Show) are potent for showcasing personality—if the spokesperson communicates crisply—yielding reusable credibility assets (“as seen on…”).For businesses not ready for full-service PR, Jeremy launched Spartan Community (community.spartanmedia.com). The throughline of the conversation: PR accelerates trust, authority, and deal flow; combine foundational social proof and smart media strategy, then repurpose wins across channels to compound results.Takeaways• Expanding a business can significantly benefit from press exposure.• Building authority status is crucial for cutting through competition.• Getting featured in reputable media outlets enhances credibility.• A strong personal brand is essential for media visibility.• Public relations can dramatically transform a business's revenue.• Press releases can still provide ROI when used strategically.• Follow-up is key to maximizing the impact of press releases.• TV appearances can enhance personal branding and credibility.• Innovative tools can help connect trending topics to business strategies.• Affordable community resources can empower entrepreneurs to learn and grow.Sound Bites• You want to expand your business?• You have to do the follow-up?• We launched a low ticket community.Listen & Subscribe for More:

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaeton welcomes Sergio Loaiza, founder of Protect Your Legacy, a financial education firm. They discuss the importance of financial sovereignty, the concept of infinite banking, and how to build a legacy for future generations. Sergio shares his personal journey, the significance of surrounding oneself with the right people, and the mindset needed for financial success. The conversation emphasizes the need for financial education and the impact of personal experiences on one's perspective on life and finances. Takeaways The system isn't broken; we just don't know the rules. Protecting your legacy starts with protecting it now. Surround yourself with good-quality people. The quality of your life is determined by the quality of questions you ask. Money is like air; when you have it, you don't think about it. You can choose to believe in the principles or not. If you pay cash, that cash is gone forever. You can become your banker. Life is easier when you have your finances under control. You have to be so confident in who you are.
