    🥊 He Challenged Me. And I’m Scared Shitless.
    2025/05/28
    Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,Listen up, Zalman just threw down the gauntlet and challenged me. We have thirteen days before the deadline hits. So, that’s Monday, June 9th at midnight.Mark that down.When a man challenges another man to a competition.I don’t know.There’s something primal about that. I want to win.But honestly…I’m scared shitless.I have my work cut out for me.This is basically young Luke Skywalker going up against the experienced Obi Wan.Worst of all…The stakes are asking me to do exactly what I don’t what to do.What scares me most.Because…It means I have to risk being seen…And rejected.And friggin’ Yoda just challenged me.The guy is basically a walking transformation factory.And I know this because I’ve seen the results in my life first hand. But…Fortunately, I AM insanely competitive.So, again…He may have the credentials…And the 25 years of experience.And the bigger following…And the private practice with paying clients.BUT…I’m the Devil.So what’s the challenge?Simple… It’s to see who can generate more income from their Substack in the next 2 weeks.Winner gets an undisclosed percentage of loot. Listen.I respect you.Money must be earned. Especially these days… If I asked you to become a VIP member… I must show you why it’s worth your while.Above literally anything else.Why you shouldn’t spend your money elsewhere.Or hold onto it in the bank.And honestly… That freaks me out.Zalman has four letters after his name.A University recognized him as an expert.I’m just a guy…Who learned how to heal on his own…With no formal training…He’s got a cool decade of experience over me.As a matter of fact, I mostly just made my skills up.With that said…I am an Agora-trained copywriter.That means something in my industry.Agora is widely known for being the biggest and baddest direct response company out there. It’s like saying you’re a Juliard-trained pianist.Or like saying you’re a Navy Seal.My words sold millions for Tony Robbins. Neil Patel…Ramit Sethi…So…I’m a master communicator.I understand a thing or two about how to use words to deliver a massive impact.To attract eyeballs…To captivate…To persuade…But, I also have some very powerful psychological tools I’ve developed.From a variety of places.Firstly from a vast amount of therapy.I’m like Madison from Billions. “I’ve done 932 hours of therapy.”lol - I can relate.That’s why my friends call me an old soul.I’ve had to grow like my life depended on it — because it did.It dawned on me one day…That if I could find myself all the way onto Tony Robbins’ payroll…Little old me from a tiny rock in the Caribbean…I must be one of the biggest self help junkies of all time.As well as one of the most resourceful people on the planet.Keep in mind I had to immigrate to make this dream happen.That took years of planning and hard work.I can speak at length about psychology because I spent years reading as many psychology books as I could get my hands on.I think Permission to be Powerful more than demonstrates that.But, what VIP will offer you will take things to a whole other level.Instead of getting a surface level understanding of how to spot liars, or have boundaries, or persuade the masses…I’m going to give you hands-on training…So you can walk away with new skills that have the power to change your life.Like I said before, I’ve read a whole library of psychology books.It’s helped me master some powerful skills. Like the skillset of boundaries, for example.I used to be the kind of person that everybody took advantage of.Everyone lied to.Everyone took for granted.I was a professional doormat.Nobody took me seriously.People walked all over me.Everyone, everywhere.I went from one dysfunctional, codependent relationship to another.One nightmare client to another…I was a slave to my need for approval.I attracted toxic people like a magnet.Perpetually stuck in one-sided relationships.Perpetually depressed.I was EXHAUSTED.Not anymore.Now, I’m the one who teaches you a lesson you never forget.I’m the one that bullies avoid because they know better than to mess with me.I’m the one who can read the entire room.I’m the one who can spot liars and manipulators from a mile away.I’m the one with boundaries that are set in stone.I’m the one who walked away from toxic FOREVER.The one who healed his core wounds.Who is the life of the party.And now, I have excellent friends.Who treat me with respect.Who show up for me reliably.Who would never betray me.Or, my ADHD…There used to be a hard ceiling on my potential.A point beyond which I could never pass.Which meant that I spend many years struggling as a freelance copywriter.I knew that because I couldn’t fully keep my act together…I was always falling behind on something.Things would go well for a while…And then fall apart inevitably.I always screwed up.Since I got my ADHD handled…I wrote ...

  • Diddy Trial: Kid Cudi’s Dramatic Day in Court

    Diddy Trial: Kid Cudi’s Dramatic Day in Court
    2025/05/27

    Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,

    Kid Cudi arrives at federal court in Manhattan on May 22, 2025, ahead of his testimony in Sean “Diddy” Combs’s trial.

    He wore a black leather jacket, white T-shirt, and blue jeans — surprisingly casual for court.

    Cudi:Yeah, I remember that night like it was yesterday. Cassie called me — middle of December, way past midnight. She was freaked out. Voice shaking. Told me Diddy found out about us.

    She kept repeating:

    “I don’t know what he’s gonna do... I don’t know what he’s gonna do.”

    Then she says — she gave him my address.

    Said it slipped out in the middle of a fight.

    Man…I didn’t even think. I threw on clothes, got in my car, picked her up. We dipped to the Sunset Marquis. Tried to lay low.

    Not long after — my phone rings again. It’s Capricorn Clark, Diddy’s assistant. She’s in tears. Says:

    “He made me get in the car. We’re at your house. He’s looking for you.”

    Prosecutor:

    What did you do?

    Cudi:Left Cassie at the hotel. Heart racing, drove straight home. Called him on the way.

    He picked up. I yelled:

    “Motherf*er, are you in my house?”**

    Defense:

    Objection, Your Honor!

    Judge Subramanian:

    Overruled. Jury may consider it as context. Proceed.

    Cudi:He didn’t deny it. Didn’t apologize. Just calmly said:

    “I just want to talk to you.”

    When I got home, the place was wrecked. Christmas gifts torn open. My dog — locked in the bathroom, shaking. Cameras twisted. He’d been there. No doubt.

    A few weeks later, my dogsitter calls:

    “Your car is on fire.”

    I rushed back. My Porsche 911 was torched. Interior melted. Roof blown open. And on the passenger seat? A burned bottle with a rag in it. A Molotov cocktail.

    Prosecutor:

    Did you report it?

    Cudi:Yeah. Cops came. Took photos. But nothing came of it. No arrests. No leads. But I knew.

    Prosecutor:

    Did Mr. Combs ever mention the car?

    Cudi:Yeah. We met at Soho House a few days later. He stood there like some Marvel supervillain. Offered me water twice — weirdly polite.

    Said:

    “We were homies. You knew that was my girl.”

    I told him:

    “She said you were done. I took her word for it.”

    Then I asked:

    “What are we gonna do about my car?”

    He stared at me and said:

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

    Cold as ice.

    Defense:

    So you're suggesting my client — without evidence — committed arson?

    Cudi:I’m saying what happened. What I lived. What I felt.

    Prosecutor:Did he ever apologize?

    Cudi:Yeah. Later, he saw me again. Said:

    “I want to apologize for everything.”

    It caught me off guard. And yeah — maybe it gave me some peace.

    But peace didn’t bring my dog back to normal. Didn’t fix the fear. Didn’t bring back the car.

    Until next time,

  • You’re Not Lazy—You’re Scared to Death

    You’re Not Lazy—You’re Scared to Death
    2025/05/23
    Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,Killer whales kill great white sharks by flipping them upside down.This supposedly puts them in a trance long enough to suck out their liver.Farmers can do the same thing with chickens. They take a pen and draw a line outward from the beak. The chicken’s eyes are trained on the moving point. It puts them in a trance. They’re hypnotized.And they stay frozen with their neck stretched out for seconds or minutes…Long enough for the farmer to chop off the chicken’s head.You’re the Chicken. You’re the Shark.Every day, the world draws a line in front of you.Your job. Your routines. Your phone. Your fears.And just like that chicken, you stare at it, motionless.Or worse—like the great white, you’re already flipped upside down.Your power is being drained from you while you sit there, thinking you're safe.And the worst part?You don’t even know it’s happening.But here’s the thing about trance states: they can be broken.You’re not tired. You’re not unmotivated. You’re just scared sh*tless.Because if you actually tried—no excuses, no safety net—you might fail.And if you fail, you have to admit you wasted years hiding.That’s why you scroll. That’s why you procrastinate.That’s why you stare at the damn line.But here’s how you break it:Look away. Move. Act. Do anything but stay still.Stop consuming and start creating.Stop thinking and start moving.Stop waiting and start fighting for yourself.Because the truth is, no one is coming to flip you back over.No one is erasing the line for you.It’s up to you. Right now.Wake up before it’s too late.“But we humans are higher lifeforms.” You say…“We wouldn’t be so primitive to be so easily duped — would we?”I hate to break it to you…We have a multitude of cognitive glitches that distort our perception.Often, the distortion is so significant that we don’t even live in the same reality as other people.Off in our world.In this case, I’m not just talking about the many cognitive biases well documented in scientific literature.Biases like our negativity bias cause us to focus on the negative naturally.Or the recency bias makes us favor things that happened recently over things that happened further out in the past.Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs.This glitch is so massive… it allows us to hide entire aspects of our personality from ourselves.You are living a whole secret side-plot that you know almost nothing about.How do I know?I just healed this part of myself, and I’m blown away by what I’m discovering.I just spent 15 years as a freelance copywriter.In retrospect, I’m asking myself why I was stuck in this subservient role for so long.Well…Every time I thought about launching my product.Or building a real agency…I would damn-near pass out from fear.My brain would shut down.I literally could not fathom what life beyond the scope of my comfort zone would look like.But now that I can do the fathoming, I’m seeing the apparent limitations of my freelancing career.This whole time, I couldn’t see the thing staring me in the face…Because every time I tried…I’d get so triggered that I couldn’t think straight.And this is what all human beings are like.We always have a cover story.You get triggered, and you don’t see how your mind twists reality to cover up your existential terror.This is your inner child having a severe meltdown.You can’t see how you swept all those emotions under the rug and went about your day as if it never happened.You’re so paralyzed…You can’t even see that you’re paralyzed.You can’t even see a whole side of yourself that’s plain as day.So, for years… I felt comfortable playing a supporting role in other people’s lives.But any time I thought of doing my own thing.Claiming my greatness…I got triggered and stuck.But, I couldn’t see it.This severely limited my potential.But I couldn’t even detect what was happening.We always have a cover story…A rationalization…You say you’re tired, you don’t feel like it.You procrastinate.You self-sabotage.But you can’t see what’s happening.No rational human being wants to admit that the reason they’re stuck isn’t because they’re lazy, or distracted, or don’t have the time…It’s because you’re scared to f*****g DEATH.Every time I took even one step outside of my freelance copywriting comfort zone, I would have a panic attack.The fear was overwhelming.That’s what made it undetectable.It was more terrifying than I could even fathom.By at least an order of magnitude.Humans are so irrational; it’s WILD.But we can’t see it.The mind plays tricks to keep you asleep.This conspiracy runs so deep that it’s almost like saying The Matrix was a documentary.You’re walking around. The Earth seems flat.That’s because the Earth is so big…Too big to fathom.Too...
