Want to take control of the future?

(The show was previously called Pessimists Archive.)

Let’s talk about money — but not *boring* money. Entrepreneur editor-in-chief Jason Feifer and money expert Nicole Lapin go straight at the most taboo, awkward situations where money impacts our lives, relationships, and careers. In each episode they debate the trickiest questions, offering genuine financial advice about typically hush-hush issues. Then they bring in a celebrity judge to decide who’s right.
The Greatness Machine is about two things. We’re about people who are living their passions and those who are creating greatness in the world, despite the odds. In all of our interviews and episodes, we will be diving into the origin story, what makes people tick and why they do what they did to get to where they are going. We interview world-class speakers and people who may not even know to tell their stories and enlighten us about what it took to get them to create all the greatness in th ...
