Inside the Speakeasy Podcast - Your Key to Hidden Strategies & Success Stories from Top Entrepreneurs
Welcome to Inside the Speakeasy—the entrepreneur podcast that hands you the keys to rooms most never get access to.
Hosted by Eric Berman, this show is for founders, startup builders, marketers, and empire-minded creators who are done with surface-level noise and ready to unlock the hidden strategies, pivotal success stories, and raw truths behind elite business growth.
This is your key to the real game—the unfiltered conversations happening behind closed doors, at mastermind retreats, in late-night deal rooms, and during the “what the hell do I do now?” breakdowns that never make it to LinkedIn.
You’ll hear from the scrappiest, boldest, most unreasonably driven entrepreneurs in the U.S.—the ones who are scaling to 7–8 figures, failing forward, innovating under pressure, and rewriting the rules of success while no one’s watching.
No recycled advice. No fake “10X hacks.” Just what’s actually working right now—from people actually doing it.
Because let’s be honest:
You’re doing well.
You’re sharp.
But deep down… you know you’re still playing small.
So stop chasing comfort.
You’re not here for safe.
You’re here to evolve.
This is Inside the Speakeasy.
And once you’re in…
You don’t go back.

LinkedIn Leverage: From Invisible to Irresistible in 30 Minutes a Day
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most entrepreneurs treat LinkedIn like a digital business card they never update. Meanwhile, there's a 70% chance your LinkedIn profile shows up on the first page when someone Googles your name. The disconnect between what people find and what you actually do could be costing you serious business.
Rhonda Sher, a LinkedIn strategist, speaker, and creator of The Sher Method™️, has cracked the code on turning LinkedIn connections into calendar appointments without the sleazy sales tactics. Her method generates 10-12 qualified meetings per week for her clients, and she's about to reveal the exact system that makes it work. Plus, she's unveiling a cutting-edge project that reads facial features to predict how prospects process information, giving you an unfair advantage before you even speak.
And because conversations like this are about building smarter systems, and not just better profiles, Inside the Speakeasy Podcast is powered by Go High Level, the AI-driven business operating system trusted by over 2 million businesses to automate, scale, and create real leverage.
