“The sister of complacency is the comfort zone. They come together. And if you have the talent to innovate — don’t waste it.” — Victor Kostroub

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and cognitive scientist Dr. Marty Trevino and Victor Kostroub for one of the most important conversations happening right now. We went deep on the one thing quietly killing high achievers: complacency. Victor shares how reaching the summit nearly cost him everything, including a major contract. Dr. Marty breaks down AI psychosis, the real reason leaders are making the most expensive decisions of their careers on autopilot. And then there’s the big question, what does innovation even mean when AI can write 200 books a week? If you’re building something that matters, this episode is the reset you didn’t know you needed.

“Each no actually brings a return. It solidifies with your team that our standards are not to be compromised.” — Ross McDaniel

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Ross McDaniel; founder of FencePost, a digital marketing agency helping local service businesses grow profitably in cities across America, for a roundtable that goes way beyond business tactics. 

Ross shares how staying stuck in Augusta, Georgia shaped his entire mission. They dig into why-driven leadership, character-based client selection, values that actually drive behavior, and why saying no to the wrong clients is one of the most profitable moves you’ll ever make. Niiamah also shares the raw origin story behind the 3% Collective and why he’s done playing small.
