Chris opens up about growing up in a small Iowa town, running a jackhammer at age 11 on his father's orders, and the movie at 16 that made him want to become a cop. He breaks down the three negotiator types — Analyst, Accommodator, and Assertive — using Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Jeff Bezos as real examples. He also gets into the labeling technique that triggers oxytocin and serotonin instantly, why paying a ransom immediately is the worst move you can make, how Haiti kidnappings always settled on Fridays, and why the same skills that saved lives in the Philippines and Colombia work in boardrooms, sales calls, and relationships. 💬 What We Cover: - The "no job beneath you" work ethic his father drilled into him from age 11 - The two Voss family mottos: "How hard could it be?" and "anything worth doing is done in the dark" - The movie at 16 that sparked his law enforcement career - Why he passed on the military — and what he says he missed - Getting ranked #1 on both the Kansas City SWAT list and FBI list simultaneously - The mentor whose advice got him into the FBI in 10 months - Advice shoppers vs. people who actually act on coaching - Trying out for the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team — and two knee surgeries that ended it - The three negotiator types: Analyst (Musk), Accommodator (Branson), Assertive (Bezos) - Never Split the Difference sold in 40 countries — and why it resonates globally - Volunteering on a suicide hotline before his first hostage negotiation - Why paying a ransom immediately signals a "down payment," not a resolution - 150+ negotiations across a dozen countries — including 100+ kidnappings in Haiti in one year - The Jeffrey Schilling case — and the terrorist sociopath who called back to pay his respects - Why Haiti kidnappings always settled on Fridays - Why "what" and "how" questions exhaust the other side into resolution - Why "win-win" is often weaponized against you - Shawn Achor's Harvard research: 31% smarter and salespeople 37% more effective in a positive mindset - His legacy: helping people see the world in color Follow Us: 📲 Omar's IG: https://www.instagram.com/omar_therockstar/ 📲 The Passionate Few's IG: https://www.instagram.com/passion/ 📲 Chris Voss's Website: https://www.blackswanltd.com Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro & Welcome 00:42 – Growing Up in Iowa: No Job Beneath You 02:41 – The Jackhammer Story at Age 11 04:24 – The Two Voss Family Mottos 05:07 – The Movie at 16 That Made Him Want to Be a Cop 10:43 – Ranked #1 on Both the SWAT and FBI Lists 11:55 – The Mentor Whose Advice Changed His FBI Interview 17:02 – Advice Shoppers vs. People Who Actually Act on Coaching 23:05 – Trying Out for the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team 24:20 – Two Knee Surgeries & Accepting Physical Limits 26:14 – The Three Negotiator Types: Analyst, Accommodator, Assertive 30:58 – How Amazon Reportedly Distributes the Book to Their Salespeople 31:47 – Why Never Split the Difference Sold in 40 Countries 34:43 – Told to Volunteer on a Suicide Hotline First 41:29 – The Labeling Technique & Reflective Listening 46:17 – 150+ Hostage Negotiations Across a Dozen Countries 47:01 – The Jeffrey Schilling Case in the Philippines 49:10 – How a Real Kidnapping Call Unfolds 51:31 – Why You Never Pay a Ransom Immediately 52:32 – Coyote Kidnappings: When They Don't Even Have the Victim 53:48 – "How Do I Know She's Alive?" — Flipping Control Instantly 57:45 – "What" and "How" Questions That Exhaust the Other Side 1:03:37 – Colombia's FARC & Long-Term Kidnappings 1:04:22 – Why Haiti Kidnappings Always Settled on Fridays 1:07:16 – Coaching Terrified Families to Stay Calm 1:10:51 – Tone Sets the Tone 1:11:45 – Applying Negotiation Skills to Relationships 1:18:04 – Case Study: A Female CEO Mediates Two Executives 1:26:35 – The Chase Manhattan Bank Robber Case 1:32:17 – What "Never Split the Difference" Actually Means 1:32:52 – Why "Win-Win" Is Often Weaponized Against You 1:36:05 – Why "Why" Questions Get Honest, Unfiltered Answers 1:50:13 – The Hardest Habit to Break: Hijacking Conversations 1:50:58 – The Three Magic Mindsets: Curiosity, Playfulness & Gratitude 1:57:53 – First Things First: Rapid-Fire Round 2:01:23 – Advice to His Younger Self: Just Be a Little Nicer 2:01:59 – Legacy: Helping People See the World in Color 2:02:58 – Closing

Kevin opens up about growing up broke in a blue-collar Massachusetts town, making millions in direct mail before he turned 18, overcoming a childhood stutter to become one of the most persuasive communicators alive, and the "40-point algorithm" for manifesting success he says he learned decades ago and has taught ever since. He also gets into the FTC lawsuit that got him banned from infomercials, writing the bestseller "Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About," the 8.5 years he served on a contempt-of-court charge, and the 7-month silent retreat in a cave that changed how he sees everything.

Jessica grew up on food stamps in Appalachian Ohio, spent 27 years as a licensed PT, and stumbled into the influencer world on maternity leave — just hoping for free skincare and baby socks. That $400 course turned into a full digital agency, then a pivot into GLP-1 and weight loss telehealth, where she lost $300,000 across three failed platform partners before building her own proprietary tech from scratch. Today she runs Kickstart Social and Kin Meds, and she's in talks to build telehealth brands for celebrity-tier clients. This is a real, unfiltered "zero to hero" story — food stamps to a 40-person agency, no blueprint, no shortcuts. 💬 What We Cover: • Growing up on food stamps in Appalachian Ohio and becoming "a hillbilly through and through" • Her father's philosophy: "Do what you say you're going to do" • 27 years as a licensed physical therapist and why she never stopped being an entrepreneur • The accidental spark: a $400 influencer course taken just to get free nursery products • Landing her first client at $1,600/month while still on maternity leave • Building a 30-client roster of nurse practitioners from home, with a newborn • How she "revolutionized" IV hydration marketing through Kickstart Social • Scaling from social posts to a full 360° agency with a team of 40 • Spotting the GLP-1 weight loss boom and what disgusted her about how men were marketing to women • The dumpster fire: three failed telehealth platforms and $300,000 lost in two years • Being told "you're never going to make it" and building her own platform anyway • The micro-influencer strategy that brought 300–400 patients in 90 days without ad spend • Having her daughter at 48 and using GLP peptides herself • Why she turns away clients who aren't ready, and what she tells them instead • What's next: celebrity-tier telehealth brands and the upcoming peptide category shift Follow Us: 📲 Omar's IG: https://www.instagram.com/omar_therockstar/ 📲 The Passionate Few's IG: https://www.instagram.com/passion/ 📲 Jessica White's IG: https://www.instagram.com/therealzenjessica/ 🌐 Kickstart Social: https://kickstartsocial.co Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro & Welcome 01:15 – Who Is Jessica White? 03:22 – Growing Up on Food Stamps in Appalachian Ohio 06:41 – Her Father's Philosophy: "Do What You Say You're Going To Do" 08:34 – 27 Years as a Physical Therapist 11:32 – The Accidental Spark: Maternity Leave & a $400 Course 14:45 – Landing Her First Client at $1,600/Month 17:21 – "Two Steps Ahead": The Lesson That Changed Everything 19:47 – 30 Nurse Practitioners, One Newborn, No Team 22:19 – Revolutionizing IV Hydration Marketing 25:31 – From Social Posts to a 40-Person Agency 29:12 – Spotting the GLP-1 Opportunity 32:22 – What Disgusted Her About the Weight Loss Telehealth Space 35:24 – The Dumpster Fire: Platform #1 — The Ghost 39:56 – Platform #2 — The Wrong Model 41:15 – Platform #3 — The Lie 44:31 – The $300K, Two-Year Total Damage 47:59 – The Decision to Build Her Own Platform 51:22 – The Micro-Influencer Army: 300–400 Patients in 90 Days 55:02 – Having a Baby at 48 & Using GLP Peptides Herself 59:04 – Turning Away Clients Who Aren't Ready 1:03:41 – What's Next: Celebrity-Tier Telehealth & the Peptide Shift 1:07:52 – Final Advice

From carpentry on construction sites to building 100+ hotels including 20 Marriott properties, Bob didn't just chase success. He built it room by room, restaurant by restaurant, and crisis by crisis. This conversation is a masterclass in bootstrapping, resilience, and thinking bigger than your circumstances. Bob pulls back the curtain on what it really took to go from a $35 newspaper ad to a $5 billion empire — and why most people never make the leap from operator to empire builder. If you're building a business from nothing, fighting through a setback, or trying to scale beyond your wildest expectations — this episode will change how you think about growth forever. 🔥 🎯 In this episode, we cover: • Starting with $35, a broken leg & zero connections — and turning it into his first company • Placing a $1 newspaper ad that landed his first breakthrough with Sonny Bono • Building 300+ restaurants for Chili's, Morton's & California Pizza Kitchen • A superintendent sleeping barefoot on the job — and how it forced a total reinvention • Getting into USC's MBA program with NO college degree — and doubling revenue to $67M • The 1989 recession that nearly bankrupted him — and why it taught him more than 30 years of success • Bill Marriott personally visiting his hotel after 9/11 — and the leadership lesson that changed everything • Why his hotels are designed to make you say "Where am I?" instead of "This could be anywhere" • The 12-acre Sedona project: building the best restaurant & spa in a spiritual destination • What financial freedom really means (hint: it's not the jet or the mansion) • Why "thinking big" without 100-hour weeks is just daydreaming Follow Us: 📲 OMAR's IG: https://www.instagram.com/omar_therockstar/ 📲 The Passionate Few's IG: https://www.instagram.com/passion/ 📲 BOB OLSON's IG: https://www.instagram.com/robert.olson_/ 📲 RDO Development's IG: https://www.instagram.com/rdo_development/ Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro & Welcome 00:42 – How a $5 Billion Hotel Empire Actually Works 01:28 – From Carpentry to Construction King 02:06 – The Skills You Learn Before You "Make It" 02:48 – Why He Never Wanted a Normal Career 03:24 – How He Started With $35 & a Broken Leg 03:32 – The Turning Point: A $1 Newspaper Ad That Changed Everything 04:44 – The Mindset That Separates Builders from Dreamers 05:42 – Why Ignorance Can Make You Millions 06:36 – Launching His First Business at 23 07:12 – The $1,500 Ad That Made Him $35K on His First Deal 07:25 – Saying Yes Before He Knew How 08:41 – The Sonny Bono Breakthrough That Scaled Everything 09:08 – Why Taking Imperfect Action Beats Perfect Planning 10:10 – How He Executes When Others Overthink 11:03 – Building Momentum From One Project to 300+ Restaurants 11:47 – Scaling From Restaurants to Hotels 12:48 – The Growth Pivot Nobody Saw Coming 13:14 – His Client List: Chili's, Morton's, CPK & More 13:53 – How He Scaled to 100+ Hotels 14:11 – Expanding Into Hotel Development 14:26 – His Entry Strategy: Start Small, Think Massive 14:42 – The Superintendent Sleeping Barefoot on the Job 15:54 – His Business Philosophy: Relationships Over Contracts 17:12 – The Biggest Lessons From Near-Bankruptcy in 1989 18:36 – Leadership: Why People Skills Beat Technical Skills 20:14 – How He Hires A-Players 21:02 – His Hiring Philosophy: Character Over Resume 22:05 – Why A-Players Are the Only Ones Who Survive 23:50 – The Network That Built a $5 Billion Empire 25:15 – Why Self-Development Is Non-Negotiable 26:16 – Getting a USC MBA With No College Degree 26:37 – How Education Doubled His Revenue to $67M 26:56 – The Systems That Run a $5 Billion Company
