No Bullsh*t Talks

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

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

What does it actually take to build a personal brand that works?

Joe Gannon, founder of personal branding and content agency Amplify, has been behind some of the biggest names in the creator economy — including Chris Williamson (now top 10 on Spotify's Global charts) and Ali Abdaal.

In this episode, we get into the real story: the burnout, the business lessons he learned three years too late, the difference between building an audience and generating leads, and why most people are doing personal branding completely wrong.

If you've ever wondered whether you actually need a personal brand, whether it's worth the time, or how to know if your content is landing for the right reasons — this one's for you.

In this episode:

– How Joe accidentally started an agency (and didn't realise it for three years)

– The one email that changed everything

– Why your personal brand is already working — just not intentionally

– Audience path vs leads path: which one are you on?

– The biggest lie in the personal branding space

– Why long-form content has no hiding place for bullshit

From pawn to queen — what chess, bullying, and 20 years of persistence taught one filmmaker about life and business.

In this episode of No Bullsh*t Talks, I sit down with Carla Berkowitz — Venezuelan-born filmmaker, martial artist, former anti-Nazi spy (yes, really), and the creator behind the critically acclaimed chess documentary Critical Thinking (starring John Leguizamo and Michael K. Williams).

Carla is also the executive producer of the upcoming documentary Madwoman's Game, which has its world premiere at the Miami Film Festival.

We get into all of it: moving to the US at 11 without speaking English, being bullied every day until high school, catching Nazis for 11 years with the Anti-Defamation League, producing 15 fitness videos before anyone took her seriously as a filmmaker, and how a Sunday newspaper article in 1998 sparked a 20-year journey to make a movie.

We also talk about the racism she encountered when selling the film internationally — something she's sharing on camera for the very first time.If you've ever felt like a pawn — head down, grinding, wondering if it's worth it — this conversation is for you.

Mike Lingle is back - five years after his first appearance on No Bullsh*t Talks, this time in person in Miami.

Mike is a serial entrepreneur, startup mentor, VC fund manager, and former developer who's gone all-in on AI.In this episode, we get into the financial mistakes that kill startups, why most founders shouldn't raise money until they truly understand their numbers, and what investors are actually looking for at the early stage.

Mike also opens up about how vibe coding has given him back his developer superpowers - and what it's really like to manage an army of AI agents when they lie to your face.

In this episode:

- The #1 financial mistake founders make (and why it's not just about spending)

- Why behaviour change and monetisation are the two things every startup must prove first

- The right MVP approach: test with humans before you build

- How Mike went from financial projections to running a VC fund for an Australian family office

- What makes Mike say yes to an investment — and what kills deals instantly

- His full AI-powered due diligence workflow using Claude in Excel and PowerPoint

- How he solved the AI randomness problem using consensus agents

- The "naughty employee" AI that kept lying — and couldn't be threatened into stopping

- Why vibe coding isn't for everyone, and what non-technical founders should actually be doing with AI

Everyone's talking about empowering women. Not everyone means it.

Amy Kean is the CEO of Good Shout, a social psychologist in training, and the founder of the Unlikable Woman Summit - a movement for women who've been told they're too much, too loud, or too direct. She's also one of the most honest voices in the room when it comes to calling out the BS that hides behind women's empowerment branding.

In this episode, Sabrina and Amy get into the conversations most people in this space are too scared to have. The female founder cliques that operate exactly like old boys clubs.

The corporate hijacking of International Women's Day by a management consultancy with zero feminist credentials. Why feminism has become too polished and palatable to actually change anything. And what it really costs women who dare to speak up publicly.

This is not an episode about victims. It's an episode about what happens when you refuse to shut up - and why more women need to do exactly that.

In this episode:

1. Why Amy left a 17-year advertising career and what it taught her about women's voices

2. The concept of "likeability labour" and why it's silently killing women's careers

3. What gravitas actually means — and why it's being used as a weapon against women

4. The real story behind International Women's Day.com (and who's actually profiting from it)

5. Female founder cliques — how they work, who they exclude, and why they're just old boys clubs with better branding

6. The Unlikable Woman Summit — why Amy built it and what happened when she put a giant vagina at the entrance

7. 68% of women have stopped speaking online — and why silence is the worst thing that can happen to any movement

8. Why AI fear-mongering is the newest form of unethical marketing

9. What social media literacy actually means and why it's now a survival skill

What does it actually take to build the most expensive spa in London - and why would anyone deliberately price themselves out of reach of most customers?

Maxim Martin, founder of Seven Bali Spa in central London, didn't stumble into luxury. He made a calculated decision to charge more than anyone else, serve a clientele that is 99% non-British, and build a business that runs on retention rather than acquisition. The results speak for themselves.

In this episode, Sabrina and Maxim get into the real economics of running a brick and mortar business in central London, why online businesses are far more competitive than people admit, and what most founders get completely wrong about pricing, cash flow and customer service.

This is not a feel-good founder story. It's an honest breakdown of what it actually costs, what nearly broke them, and why doing less - but doing it better - beat every growth hack they could have tried.

🔑 In this episode:

 •    Why Maxim pivoted from online copywriting to a physical spa - and what AI had to do with it

    •    The real cost of opening a central London space (the numbers will surprise you)

    •    Why 99% of their customers are non-British and what that says about knowing your market

    •    How they survived 18 months of losses without panicking

    •    The pricing psychology behind charging more than everyone else

    •    Why customer retention beats acquisition every single time

    •    The commission structure that transformed their team's attitude to selling

    •    What London businesses consistently get wrong about customer service

Most entrepreneurs waste time and money on PR that doesn’t work. Why? Because they’ve been sold a lie.

In this episode of No Bullsh*t Talks, I’m joined by Priscilla Pollara — former top-tier journalist and strategic advisor to government officials — who now helps small business owners build brands that actually get noticed.

We break down the biggest myths around PR, media exposure, and personal branding, and Priscilla shares what founders really need to focus on to build credibility and visibility without faking it for the 'Gram.

If you’re trying to grow your brand, land media, or just stop being invisible — this one’s for you.

🔑 In this episode:

• Why most PR strategies fail for small business owners

• The real point of personal branding (and how to do it without cringing)

• What journalists and decision-makers actually care about

• Where to start if you’ve never done PR before

• The truth about being “your authentic self” online

What does running a half marathon before work teach you about building a business?

In this episode of No Bullsh*t Talks, we sit down with Clair Heaviside, co-founder of marketing agency Serotonin and ultra-marathon runner, to talk about the underrated power of resilience, discipline, and entrepreneur health.

Clair didn’t just build a successful marketing agency - she did it while running 13 miles to work every day. We talk about the mindset required to go the distance in business and in life, and why physical discipline fuels entrepreneurial performance.

This one’s for the founders who are tired of quick fixes and want the truth about what it really takes.

🔑 In this episode:

• What running taught her about business
• Building mental and physical resilience
• How to lead when things get hard
• The connection between movement and mindsetWhy entrepreneurship is a long game — and how to train for it
