  S3 E15: Why Niching Down Is Bad Advice If You Have Multiple Passions with Adama Lorna

  Aug 14, 202652 minS3

  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.

  S3 E14: The Confidence Coach Who Failed on Live TV with Fred Afrifa

  Aug 7, 20261h 3mS3

  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.

  S3 E13: She Was 16, Had No Hollywood Connections, And Got Keanu Reeves To Executive Produce Her Film with Bianca Mitchell-Avila

  Jul 2, 202642 minS3

  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 Video Madwoman's Game: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34704424/ 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?

  S3 E12: Why Most Creatives Build An Audience Instead Of A Community (And Why That's The Wrong Move) with Ajani Griffith

  Jun 25, 202642 minS3

  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 shifted 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?

  S3 E11: She Got Defrauded Out of Five Figures - Then Went Full CIA Mode with Jenna Zhang

  Jun 18, 20261h 9mS3

  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 collect 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?
