Step into the ultimate power playbook with this insightful episode of the Jeremy Ryan Slate Show! In "Machiavelli’s Power Playbook: Lessons from The Prince," we take a deep dive into the cunning strategies of Cesare Borgia, Niccolò Machiavelli’s muse for his timeless masterpiece, *The Prince.* This critical examination unpacks the rise and fall of Borgia, a warlord who dazzled Machiavelli with his ruthless brilliance but ultimately fell victim to misfortune and over-reliance on his father, Pope Alexander VI. Was Cesare the perfect prince or a cautionary tale in what not to do?


Join me, Jeremy Ryan Slate—CEO of Command Your Brand and a passionate advocate for liberty and freedom—as we explore Machiavelli’s unique perspective on power, from Renaissance Italy’s chaotic city-states to the modern political and corporate landscapes of 2025. We’ll uncover how Machiavelli’s principles, from "better to be feared than loved" to hedging against Fortuna, shape today’s leaders, CEOs, and even election strategies. This must-watch episode challenges you to question who’s pulling the strings in your world and how you can control your own narrative.


Let’s spark a conversation! What lessons can we take from Machiavelli and Cesare Borgia in navigating power, politics, and life today?

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
