The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show
Jeremy Ryan Slate
The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show is a bi-weekly investigation into how power really works—across history, empires, and the modern world.Each episode draws on two core lenses:Hidden forces behind history—royal murders, lost colonies, financial systems, modern elites, NGOs, propaganda, and the quiet mechanisms that shape events long before they reach the headlines.And the Roman pattern—the idea that today’s crises aren’t new. Currency collapse, political division, border chaos, military overreach—Rome faced them all first. The Roman Empire spent centuries making every mistake a civilization can make, and left behind a playbook we’re following again, page by page.Through expert conversations with historians, researchers, and serious thinkers—and deep dives into primary sources, documents, and records—this show connects ancient history to modern power with evidence, not opinion.You’ll learn to: • Recognize collapse signals before they’re obvious • Understand modern crises through ancient parallels • See how empires actually rise, decay, and fall • Spot the patterns shaping what comes nextFrom medieval conspiracies to modern cover-ups, from Augustus to Constantine, from ancient Rome to today’s global order—this is history as investigation.No spin. No narratives. Just receipts.New episodes twice a week.

About This Episode: Coach Micheal Burt is considered “America’s Coach,” a unique blend of a former championship basketball coach combined with a deep methodology of inner-engineering people to produce at a higher level in the business world. Coach Burt found his unique voice early in life at the age of 15 by starting his basketball coaching career with a junior pro basketball team. At 25 he would begin writing the first of 14 books on his methodology. Companies who wanted to grow would pay attention and begin hiring Burt to speak, coach, and train their people to higher levels of performance. At 31 years old and after winning a championship Burt would retire from athletic sports to build a multimillion-dollar coaching business and form the Monster Producer coaching program, which is a systematic and consistent program that teaches sales professionals, business owners, and those interested in rapid growth the five big areas to get a significant lift in their business. Burt’s goal for each person is a 43% increase in a one year cycle and he routinely gets it. Burt now, at 42 years old, speaks around the world on his books and growth methodologies and is the personal coach to some of the top performing companies in the world.

641: Defining Your Character Feat. Jeremy Ryan Slate | Freestyle Friday
About This Episode:Our interview with Jennifer Garrett on Monday ended up being a bit more controversial than expected. The clip I grabbed from Jennifer for promo talked about the idea of managing our ego because an outburst can ruin our brand. Some saw this as being inauthentic, I counter that it's actually defining our character. We discuss that in this Freestyle Friday Episode.
