Stop saying 'I'M GOING TO FAIL! YOU WILL FAIL' - Paul Boross on the Psychology of a great pitch
Q: Does confidence start the moment you step in front of investors?
Paul Boross explains confidence is an instantaneous impression plus a maintained state; preparation and eye contact help maintain it, not just a flashy PowerPoint.
Manager of The Sidemen Jordan Schwarzenberger On The Future Of Modern Media
Q: How should someone launching a men's skincare brand approach audience growth and channel strategy?

Manager of The Sidemen Jordan Schwarzenberger On The Future Of Modern Media
Q: What are the biggest mistakes you've learned from in building multi-venture creator businesses?
Spreading too thin across too many ventures, entering partnerships without clear exit paths, and underestimating the execution risk of physical products while overvaluing the hype of big audiences.
Manager of The Sidemen Jordan Schwarzenberger On The Future Of Modern Media
Q: What was the turning point that pushed you to reframe the Sidemen as a publisher rather than just a creator group?
Seeing the potential to leverage the Sidemen's reach as a publisher, with a portfolio of IP-driven opportunities, and recognizing that brands needed a holistic, scalable way to work with creator assets beyond simple sponsorships.
