You don’t get paid for time you get paid for skills. In today’s economy, average won’t cut it. In this episode, I sit down with performance coach Sabastian Enges to break down why the market rewards producers (not consumers), how to build high-value skill sets that print options for your family, and the real triad that scales results: skills, mentality, and character.

In this episode, I sit down with Paul Hutchinson —entrepreneur, investor, undercover operative, and executive producer of Sound of Freedom — to uncover the real stories behind the film and the mindset shift that led him from building a $20B fund to rescuing over 7,000 trafficked children across the globe. This isn’t just a conversation about child trafficking. It’s about transformation; how the skills of persuasion, tonality, and emotional intelligence can be used not just to sell, but to liberate. Paul reveals how his ability to influence in high-stakes negotiations saved lives and how changing the man in the mirror is what really changes the world. If you're a sales professional, entrepreneur, or leader who wants to do more with your influence than just close deals, this episode will challenge and inspire you on a whole new level.   Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (03:14) Why a Billionaire Risks His Life to Save Kids (08:25) The Real Story Behind Sound of Freedom (14:31) The Shocking Truth About Human Traffickers (19:19) How Persuasion Saved Dozens of Lives (26:05) The Negotiation That Led to 124 Children Being Rescued (33:08) The Sound of Freedom: What Paul Heard That Changed Everything (37:19) From Ego to Healing: The Inner Work Behind the Mission (42:18) Plant Medicine, God, and Rebuilding the Man in the Mirror (47:48) The Power of Influence: Persuasion Beyond Sales (51:02) Transparency, Trust, and What Most Salespeople Get Wrong (54:05) Where to Find the Book and Support the Mission   Get The Sound of Freedom Book: ⁠https://soundoffreedombook.com⁠ Connect With Paul Hutchinson Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/liberating.humanity⁠ YouTube: ⁨⁠https://youtube.com/@Liberatinghumanity⁩ ⁠   💬 Got a question about sales, persuasion, or objection handling?

Sales in 2025 looks different and Shelby Sapp says women are leading the way... In this episode, I sit down with Shelby, founder of She Sells, a remote sales academy that’s helping women break into high-ticket sales and outperform the traditional “bro” style of closing. Her claim? Women are better at building trust, reading emotion, and disarming objections giving them a serious edge in today's buyer-driven market. Now, do I agree? That’s up to you to decide. But what you’ll hear in this conversation will challenge the way you think about how sales actually works regardless of gender. We cover how to rewrite outdated sales scripts, use emotional tonality to close without pressure, avoid objections altogether with pre-framing, and what it takes to interview and land top-tier sales roles in 2025. Whether you're a sales rep, coach, closer, or business owner, this is one to study.   Chapters (00:00) Introduction (02:47) Shelby’s Background & Why She Rewrote the Sales Script (06:44) What It’s Like Being the Only Woman in the Room (11:22) How She Invented a New D2D Pitch (and Crushed It) (16:49) From Door-to-Door to Remote High-Ticket Sales (23:20) Why Gap Selling Works (and How to Use It) (29:34) How to Disarm Prospects (Even Alpha Males) (34:53) Objection Prevention: Pre-Framing That Works (41:24) How to Interview Like a Closer (47:12) Masculine vs Feminine Energy in Sales   💬 Got a question about sales, persuasion, or objection handling?
