    In a world drowning in noise, fake experts, and followers-for-hire, what if your real leadership credibility is invisible — and you're failing the test?

    Welcome to The Dov Baron Show — come for the stories, stay for the learning.

    Today’s guest is Mitchell Levy, a global credibility expert, two-time TEDx speaker, and author of over sixty books. He has dedicated his life to distilling profound truths into razor-sharp clarity.

    👉 Most leaders you admire... Often Lack Genuine Credibility.

    .
    👉 And chances are, yours is in question.

    .

    🚀 Inside This Episode:

    Why being “busy” might be your greatest leadership lie

    .

    The brutal cost of lacking a sharp, simple life purpose

    .

    How to articulate your true leadership mission in 10 words (or lose everything trying)

    The dirty secret behind most “influencers” — and how not to become one

    .

    How Mitchell went from six-figure publishing to ground zero and discovered the credibility code that today's leaders are missing.

    .

    Why "influence" without "credibility" is a ticking time bomb for modern leaders.

    .

    How to define your life’s mission so clearly that you can express it in 10 words or less — and why your business, brand, and legacy may depend on it.

    .

    The simple but revolutionary “Customer Point of Possibility” (CPOP) framework instantly transforms how people trust and follow you.

    .

  • How Love, Not Coffee, Built The Starbucks Empire | Howard Behar

    What if love is the ultimate business strategy we’ve all been missing?

    You crushed the goals.

    You climbed the ladder.

    You earned the applause.

    But deep down... do you know you’re still losing?

    Welcome to The Dov Baron Show — where we don’t just sharpen leaders, we tear down illusions.

    In Part 2 of this raw conversation with Howard Behar — the man who grew Starbucks from 28 stores to over 15,000 — we dismantle the myths poisoning modern leadership and expose what it really takes to build a life (and legacy) worth a damn.

    🔥 In This Episode:

    Why chasing status secretly destroys your soul (and how Howard almost sold his).

    The dirty little secret Starbucks doesn’t advertise—and how love, not coffee, built the empire.

    What tech giants today are getting dead wrong about leadership.

    The shocking boardroom betrayals that forced Howard to choose between his paycheck... and his purpose.

    How the myth of “growth at any cost” is hollowing out companies from the inside.

    Why if your company isn’t built on love — it’s already dying.

    What Satya Nadella knew that saved Microsoft—and what every CEO needs to steal from him yesterday.

    ⚡ Warning: If you’re still defining leadership by your LinkedIn bio or net worth, this episode will wreck you — in the best way possible.

    Your mission — if you’re brave enough:
    Burn the false idols. Build something that matters.

    .
    ✅ How psychedelics, community, and ancient wisdom hold the key to our future

    .
    ✅ The billionaires' escape fantasy—why they’re planning for the apocalypse instead of fixing what’s broken

    .

    🔹 Is AI the next great revolution, or the final step in human disconnection?

    .
    🔹 What if our biggest challenge isn’t technology, but remembering what it means to be human?

    .

  • Are We Raising AI… or Is AI Raising Us? | Professor De Kai on The Dov Baron Show

    🔊 Listen Now:

    🧠 AI isn’t a tool—it’s a mirror.

    We keep asking the wrong questions: Is AI a god or a slave? Will it destroy us or save us? But what if the real danger isn’t AI at all—but us?

    .

    In this eye-opening episode, Professor De Kai, one of the pioneering minds behind AI and machine learning, joins Dov Baron to unravel the hidden dangers of AI—and why the real threat isn’t Skynet but the invisible ways AI is already controlling our decisions, our relationships, and even our identities.

As a former member of Google’s AI Ethics Council, he has spent decades at the intersection of AI, ethics, cognitive science, and social impact.

    🔥 In this episode, we uncover:
    ✔️ The Hollywood AI Myth: Why AI taking over the world is a distraction from the real problem

    .
    ✔️ The Invisible Puppet Strings: How AI algorithms manipulate what we see, think, and even believe
