  • The Hidden Power of Personal Branding (and Why It’s Costing You Millions) - Jeremy Bishop

    The Hidden Power of Personal Branding (and Why It’s Costing You Millions) - Jeremy Bishop
    2025/12/24
    You’re building everyone else’s brand… except your own. In this episode, Junaid Ahmed sits down with celebrity brand strategist Jeremy Bishop, the man behind brands for Netflix stars, top realtors, artists, and authors. Jeremy reveals how losing everything in his early twenties forced him to confront a brutal truth: if your name doesn’t stand for something, your success can disappear overnight. They break down what truly makes a personal brand that sells, why most entrepreneurs are invisible online (despite posting every day), and how a simple shift in how you show up on social media can open doors to mentors, clients, and seven-figure opportunities. This episode is a powerful reminder that your name is your most important asset—and you’re probably under-using it. What You'll Learn: Why Jeremy’s first company collapsing overnight made him obsessed with building his name, not just a business. The real reason most social media profiles don’t match the mission people say they’re on. How a clear personal brand creates instant trust, credibility, and opportunity—often before you say a word. The number one monetization mistake creators and entrepreneurs make: ignoring direct, daily communication. How timeless principles from “How to Win Friends and Influence People” still drive Jeremy’s networking and mentorship today.

  • The Villain Who Hacked Social Media – Dark Growth, Algorithm Manipulation & Ethical Influence ( Tim O’Hearn )

    The Villain Who Hacked Social Media – Dark Growth, Algorithm Manipulation & Ethical Influence ( Tim O’Hearn )
    2025/12/22
    What if the algorithms you’re trying to “beat” were quietly rewiring who you become as a creator? In this episode, Junaid sits down with Tim O’Hearn, software engineer, growth strategist, and author of Framed: A Villain’s Perspective on Social Media. Tim has lived on both sides of the screen: he’s built persuasive recommendation systems and broken the rules to generate millions of followers for clients. Together they uncover how modern platforms shape culture, push creators toward extremes, and quietly reward behavior that many of us would have considered unacceptable 15 years ago. Tim shares how he “bent” the algorithms, why a villain’s perspective is often more honest than most marketing books, and how creators can grow intentionally without becoming products of the platforms they use. You’ll never look at your feed—or your content strategy—the same way again. 5 Big Takeaways Why Framed is the perfect word for how social media shapes our perspective—and how we’re all “in the frame.” How Tim generated millions of followers by bending algorithmic rules at scale. The subtle ways platform design pushes creators toward provocative, extreme, or controversial content. A practical mindset shift to stop being a product of the platform and start creating on your own terms. Whether ethical growth at scale is still possible—and how your personal values should govern your sponsorships and brand deals.

    The $500K Instagram Underworld, Growth Hacking, and the Dark Psychology of Social Media
    2025/12/17
    What if the people promising you “10k followers in 30 days” are telling the truth – but hiding the real cost? In this episode, former quantitative finance engineer turned growth hacker Tim O’Hearn pulls back the curtain on the hidden Instagram underworld that helped him build a $500k side hustle. From DJs in New York nightlife to spam-at-scale and exploiting weak platform limits, Tim reveals how growth really happens behind the scenes – and why the line between optimization and manipulation is much thinner than you think. We talk about fake engagement that feels real, data that might be quietly breaking terms of service, and why no one actually “understands the algorithm” the way they claim online. This is a conversation about ethics, growth, vanity metrics, and what it actually means to play the social media game without losing your soul. You’ll learn: How Tim went from quant finance “code monkey” to building a $500k Instagram growth machine The truth about algorithms and why anyone claiming to “beat” them should be treated with suspicion The gray zone between good marketing, bad marketing, and outright manipulation Why those “attendee lists” and “targeted leads” might be built on terms-of-service violations How vanity metrics secretly control who we trust, book, and refer – even when we think we’re above it Timestamps 00:00 – The Instagram Underworld BeginsTim’s journey from quant finance to building a $500k growth side hustle. 03:30 – The Lie of “Beating the Algorithm”Why no one can truly tell you how social algorithms work – and why that matters. 05:25 – Spam That PaysHow exploiting loose activity limits turned automated spam into a profitable business. 07:10 – Optimization vs ManipulationThe ethical gray zone behind paid leads, scraped data, and “legit” marketing. 11:20 – Followers for Sale & Vanity MetricsWhy fake-seeming tactics work – and how numbers quietly shape real-world opportunities. 14:25 – From Tennis Courts to Pickleball CourtsThe human side: Tim’s life as an endurance athlete and sports fan. 17:20 – Meta, Reddit, and the Real Villains of Social MediaWhy Tim sees major platforms as net drains on human productivity and truth.
