April 30, 2026   |   Read online Re: Your personal board of advisors How many times a day do you find yourself thinking: “I wish I had someone I trusted to ask about this”? Many of us take on the full weight of our lives, our responsibilities, our decisions…when there is a better way. Imagine that you had a private board of advisors. A collection of highly vetted and insightful individuals from all over the world, each with a track record of real-world success across various industries: Law, medicine, running businesses, entrepreneurship, tech…all ready and willing to provide you with valuable advice and insights. Now, imagine that they look to you for your opinions, thoughts, and expertise as well. This is the essence of The Round Table, a private membership community that meets every single week on Zoom to have conversations that go far beyond the ordinary. We discuss mindset, success, strategy, legacy, family, branding, philosophy, and more. We come to the table with no judgment and pledge to give as much as we receive. We value trust, discretion, and privacy. We limit membership capacity so we can ensure everyone is equally heard and valued, and we only have 3 spots remaining. If you’re ready to take your seat at the table, you can apply here. If you’re a potential fit, we will be in touch within 24 hours. Talk to you soon. - James Michael Sama (Founder/Member) P.S.: If you’d prefer a private advisor rather than a group setting, let’s talk.   Update your email preferences or unsubscribe here © 2026 Your secret weapon. 228 Park Ave S, #29976, New York, New York 10003, United States Powered by beehiiv Terms of Service

April 29, 2026   |   Read online Silence is a screening tool The less you say, the more you learn. Most people use conversation to express…few use it to observe. But, silence is one of the most effective ways to understand others. When you stop filling space, you’ll find that people begin to fill it themselves: They reveal priorities. They reveal insecurities. They reveal intentions they did not plan to share. Not because they are careless…but because silence makes them uncomfortable. And discomfort creates disclosure. This is why silence is a powerful screening tool. It allows you to gather information without effort, to see patterns without interference, to allow others to show you who they are…without influence. Most people interrupt this process. They speak to keep the conversation moving, or respond too quickly, or insert themselves into the space where clarity could have formed on its own. And in doing so, they lose visibility. Silence creates contrast. The person who is comfortable with it appears grounded. The person who is not…begins to reveal themselves. You start to notice: Who needs validation. Who speaks with intention. Who over-explains. Who becomes unsettled. All without asking a direct question. This applies beyond conversation. In business → silence reveals negotiation position. In relationships → it reveals emotional stability. In leadership → it reveals confidence. Silence removes distraction and allows truth to surface. To use silence effectively, resist the impulse to respond immediately. Let pauses exist. Maintain presence without filling space. You will begin to see more, hear more, understand more. Because silence does not limit communication...It clarifies it. And those who are comfortable in silence gain access to information others miss. Less speaking. More seeing.

Come to our RTF Event 'How to Conquer Tyranny and Avoid Tragedy' (May 16) Rising Tide Foundation Apr 29   READ IN APP   What forgotten battles against tyranny must be learned if we are not to fall into tragedy and collapse today? By what miracle did western civilization emerge onto the scene as a bastion of liberty and discoveries? What sorts of partnerships between city builders of Egypt, Greece and Rome were needed to bring about a conspiracy for freedom against the forces of oligarchism represented by the high priesthood of the mystery cults? How did Solon, Socrates, Plato, Cicero and St. Augustine organize a battle plan to save not just their own decaying civilizations, but all future generations? In this interactive seminar in Victoria British Columbia (Saturday May 16 from 3-6pm), Cynthia Chung and Matthew Ehret will explore these questions and much more.
