In this episode of Building Billions, I break down the single most important skill in business and in life: communication and influence. I didn’t build three $100M+ companies because I was the smartest person in the room. I did it because I learned how to control conversations, handle objections, and get people to say yes. In this episode, I share the four strategies I personally used in every major deal, from raising capital to selling a company for $151 million.

You’ll learn the AMA Blueprint for leading conversations, how to turn “no” into opportunity, why silence is one of the most powerful tools in negotiation, and how to control urgency without creating pressure. These are practical tactics you can apply immediately in sales, leadership, interviews, or high-stakes negotiations. If you want more yeses and fewer missed opportunities, this episode is your playbook.
