  • I'm Creating A Course About Boundaries

    I'm Creating A Course About Boundaries
    2025/05/31
    Editor’s Note: I want to send a special shoutout to Michael Reif — my new founding member. I’m so honored that you believe in this cause. Thank you. ⚠️ Heads up before we dive in:This isn’t a finished course yet. You’re about to read a draft sales page I’m using to test demand.If you upgrade today, you’re not buying a product—you’re backing the birth of one.That means:No portalNo modulesNot yet.However, with that said, by upgrading to VIP, you will be part of the creation process, and get to ask me questions live. I’ll build this only if enough people say: “This is what I need.”My thinking is that if at least 3 people upgrade today, I’ll make the course right away. If that’s you, thank you. If not, no pressure—just read and take what hits home.Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,"The Day I Snapped…"There was a moment. Not a metaphorical one. A literal one.Phone in hand. Thumb hovering over “Send.”I had a choice: finally speak the truth… or keep swallowing it down.I hit send. The message was simple."Please don’t contact me again. I’m done."And just like that, years of resentment collapsed into peace.I stared at the screen, heart pounding like a war drum. And for the first time in my life, I felt like a man.Not just a boy trying to please. Not just someone performing. Not someone scared of being abandoned if he dared to draw a line.A man. With a spine.The aftermath?There were tears. Threats. Guilt trips. Stories twisted. Friendships tested. Rage. Silence. A smear campaign.But you know what else happened?I slept better than I had in years.I walked into rooms taller.I stopped feeling like a victim and started acting like someone who owned his life.And here’s what I need you to hear:The day you set a boundary is the day you start telling the truth.Not just to others.But to yourself.This isn’t about being mean. Or cutting people off just because they annoy you.It’s about reclaiming your time.Your peace.Your dignity.Your f*cking life.Because if you don’t protect your energy… someone else will exploit it.This is the law of the jungle.And if you don’t know how to set a boundary, the world will keep walking all over you — treating you like a doormat.I’ve been there.👉 The slow erosion of self.👉 The thousand tiny compromises.👉 The dinners I didn’t want to go to.👉 The phone calls I didn’t want to answer.👉 The fake “haha”s in text replies I didn’t mean.All of it.Death by a thousand shoulds.Until one day you wake up and you don’t recognize yourself anymore.That’s why I built this course.Not because I’m a therapist.Not because I have a PhD.But because I’ve walked the battlefield.I honed my skills by dealing with some truly formidable adversaries.And I survived.I created a system so you don’t have to collapse first.So you don’t have to wait until you’re shaking with rage and resentment to speak up.So you don’t have to cry yourself to sleep again after agreeing to something you never wanted.This isn’t about being a hardass.This is about being free.And the path to freedom starts with one word:No.Let me show you how to say it—with calm, conviction, and power that cannot be touched.Because let’s be real:Most people will not honor your needs until you force them to.We hope they’ll “just get it.”We hope they’ll “take the hint.”We think if we’re nice enough, they’ll stop.But they don’t.Manipulators don’t stop until you slam the door.Energy vampires don’t quit until you turn off the light.Control freaks don’t change until you stop playing their game.You think you’re being kind. But what you’re actually being… is complicit.You’re enabling their behavior.You’re training them to expect more from you than you’re willing to give.This isn’t your fault.But it is your responsibility.Let me tell you one more story.I was stuck in a soul-sucking marriage.Emotionally abusive. Spiritually draining. Financially controlling.Before I decided to leave, I started setting boundaries.One text at a time.One room at a time.One breath at a time.Three months later, I wasn’t out yet…But I was standing up.Speaking clearly.Saying no.Now? I’m free.And I tell you this:You don’t need to be a warrior. You just need someone to show you how to start.I’ll show you how to start.I’ll show you how to finish.I’ll show you how to protect what’s sacred.Your time.Your mind.Your soul.It begins now.Good Boundaries Change Your Entire Quality of LifeHere are some examples…* Your family expects you to attend every holiday event.* ❌ Without boundaries: You go to all of them, stretched thin.* ✅ With boundaries: You choose what nourishes you and politely decline the rest.* Your date keeps pushing for physical intimacy before you're ready.* ❌ Without boundaries: You go along out of pressure.* ✅ With boundaries: You say, “I need to move at my own pace,” * Your employer asks you to stay late—again.* ...

  • The Cost of Being Too Nice

    The Cost of Being Too Nice
    2025/05/30
    Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,I have a lifelong habit, and it’s sad. I can’t believe I spent my whole life being this way. Not only that, I never even really noticed. I had been so used to being this way I didn’t know how not to be this way.It just faded into the background. I overshare, overgive… It’s the most obvious truth that I was utterly oblivious to.I am currently so upset with my father for turning me into this. When I was a boy, my father only spent time with me if I did what he wanted. He never took a genuine interest in me but for a few fleeting moments. And, being a child, I was so desperate to get his attention that I made up my mind that if I had to get his attention by doing whatever he wanted, then so be it.This is a terrible way to live your life. People pick up on this vibe very quickly. It speaks volumes about what kind of person I was — a mark. There is a certain kind of person who lusts after a person like me. This type of person desperately craves control. They want more than they will ever give.So, I was set up to be exploited in my personal and professional relationships. I married a woman who fully expected me to bend backward for her, yet she felt perfectly justified in never reciprocating that. She didn’t even know where to start. She was so profoundly used to overtaking.Give and give and give and give.It comes out of my pathological need for others’ approval. Precedents are so important. Once I set that precedent — where people knew they could exist in my life for free — they knew I had no expectations from them. That created a lifelong pattern of being in one-sided relationships. SO EXHAUSTING.These days, I watch this particular pattern like a hawk. I’ve refused to add new contacts to my phone until I’ve seen ample proof that someone deserves to be in my life. It’s a simple fail-safe.Last night, I texted this girl I like. I told myself I wouldn’t text her until she initiated the conversation to see proof that she was invested in me, but I couldn’t resist. I only texted her once but decided to delete her number because I couldn’t resist. That way, I could only keep this interaction going if she demonstrated that she wanted to talk to me.I find this particular habit to be so sad yet revealing. It tells me that when I was little, I decided to do anything for some love and attention. The other party could have me at any price. Whatever you want, I’ll give because I have no value whatsoever.Make no mistake — this is an addiction or a compulsion, at the very least.I like to be giving. And, technically, there isn’t anything wrong with that. The only problem is… I discovered that I was projecting my expectations onto other people. Some people don’t feel obligated to reciprocate when they know they can have your time and energy for free.From my point of view, the whole idea is: I’ll be nice to you, and you’ll be nice to me. But some people can’t tell the difference between kindness and weakness. Sometimes, kindness is viewed as a weakness to be exploited.Remember, this is a fact that the offender will never admit it outright. If they’re nefarious enough to exploit your weaknesses, they already know their actions are wrong. You’re preaching science to a creationist. They’re not going to hear you.I’ve been telling myself privately that I’m an expert in psychology. Technically, that’s not true, but I believe it anyway. Because I spent so much time reading psychology books and working with people, I gave myself a world-class education from self-study.First, my business has been my laboratory for almost 15 years. I’ve conducted thousands of Zoom calls, worked with different types of people, and become extremely good at influencing them.It takes influence to convince someone to pay you $10,000. See what I mean? That’s no small feat. I have to empathize with that person deeply. And I have to be a certain kind of professional for them. I am the expert who can make millions from his words.Writing for Tony’s audience of 2 million people also gave me a gigantic dataset against which to test my copywriting skills. I’ve had hundreds, if not thousands, of discovery calls.Understanding human psychology requires real skill but is a prerequisite for inspiring the masses.I think back to all of the psych books I’ve read. Again, definitely hundreds. I gave myself a completely tailored education. Not a single lesson was wasted. That has taken me to Tony’s doorstep.I got to step into Tony’s mind and his shoes because of all the lessons I’ve learned. What you can achieve by staying the course with one craft is incredible — continually improving over time. My voice is mighty. I live the principles of copy. It’s in my bones. In my very DNA. I am the copy.For whatever reason, my career led me to develop a unique skill set. Those skills helped me overcome this lifelong habit, which is incredible—it’s like voodoo.When I...

  • Capricorn Clark’s Shocking Testimony in the Sean “Diddy” Combs Trial

    Capricorn Clark’s Shocking Testimony in the Sean “Diddy” Combs Trial
    2025/05/29
    Editor’s note: Catch up on the Diddy trial here: Day #1: Cassie Ventura Day #3: Cassie VenturaKid Cudi’s TestimonyDear Permission to be Powerful Reader,In a Manhattan federal courtroom earlier this week, Capricorn Clark – a former executive assistant and brand director for Sean “P. Diddy” Combs – took the stand to deliver explosive testimony. Presided over by U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, the trial centers on multiple charges against Combs, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracynpr.org. Clark’s testimony, given on Tuesday, unveiled harrowing allegations of kidnapping, death threats, and violence involving Combs’ ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura and rapper Kid Cudi (Scott Mescudi). What follows is a reconstruction of Clark’s courtroom testimony, drawing on direct quotes and dialogue reported by reputable press sources. Every line is grounded in the factual accounts of the trial, portraying the gripping scene as it unfolded.Bailiff: All rise. (Everyone stands as Judge Subramanian enters the courtroom and takes the bench.)Judge Subramanian: You may be seated. Prosecution, please call your next witness.Prosecutor (Mitzi Steiner): The government calls Capricorn Clark. (Clark approaches the witness stand and is sworn in.) Please state your name and your relationship to the defendant for the record.Capricorn Clark (Witness): My name is Capricorn Clark. I worked for Sean Combs for many years – off and on between 2004 and 2018 – as his personal assistant and later as a global brand director.Prosecutor: Ms. Clark, during your time working for Mr. Combs, did he ever threaten you or harm you?Clark: Yes. From my very first day on the job, Mr. Combs threatened me.Prosecutor: Can you describe that first incident?Clark: When he hired me in 2004, he took me to Central Park at night, along with one of his security guards (a man called Uncle Paul). He confronted me about my connections to Suge Knight – I had previously interned for Mr. Knight – and he threatened me. “He told me he didn’t know I had anything to do with Suge Knight and if anything happened, he would have to kill me,” I testified. In shock, I responded to Mr. Combs, “We’ll just have to see.”Prosecutor: How did you react to that threat?Clark: I was stunned, but I tried to brush it off at the time. I continued working for him. It wasn’t the last threat I received.Prosecutor: You continued working for Mr. Combs. Did another serious incident occur later that year?Clark: Yes. Later in 2004, some expensive diamond jewelry that had been loaned to Mr. Combs went missing while under my care. I was accused of stealing the jewelry. In response, Mr. Combs’s associates held me in a building at 1710 Broadway for five days and forced me to undergo repeated lie-detector tests. I wasn’t free to leave during that time.Prosecutor: Five days? You were confined by Mr. Combs’s associates?Clark: Yes. Effectively, I was held against my will. They kept me on a dilapidated floor in the Bad Boy Records building. One of the men administering the polygraph warned me explicitly what would happen if I failed. He said, “If you fail the test, they’re going to throw you in the East River.” I was terrified.Prosecutor: That’s a direct threat to your life.Clark: Absolutely. I was petrified. 7. I endured all five days of lie-detector testing, desperate to prove my innocence so they wouldn’t hurt me. . Eventually, the tests were inconclusive and I was released. I was actually fired for about three or four weeks afterward, but then Mr. Combs rehired me to help with his 35th birthday party. Despite everything, I returned to working for him.Prosecutor: Why did you go back to work for him after that ordeal?Clark: (Pauses) At the time, I felt I had no choice. If I had quit right then, people would assume I really had stolen the jewelry. In fact, I felt if I would have left, it would have been written off as I stole anyway. And truthfully, Mr. Combs was very powerful in the music industry – I worried I wouldn’t be able to find other work. So I stayed.Prosecutor: Let’s move forward to the events of December 22, 2011. This is the day involving Cassie Ventura and Scott Mescudi (Kid Cudi), correct?Clark: Yes. That date is seared in my memory.Prosecutor: Ms. Clark, could you tell the jury what happened in the early morning hours of December 22, 2011?Clark: It was around 5:30 in the morning. I was at my apartment in Los Angeles, asleep, when I woke to a loud banging on my door – like metal clanging against metal. It was an extremely aggressive pounding. I went to the door and opened it, and I saw Mr. Combs standing there. He forced his way in.Prosecutor: How did Mr. Combs appear at that moment?Clark: He looked furious – enraged. And I saw he had a gun in his hand10. I remember he was so agitated that his dress slacks were ripped at the crotch, like he had been in some struggle or rushed there. I had never ...
