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.

From 25 Different Apps to One Command Central
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most business owners are drowning in 10, 15, even 25 different software platforms just to run their daily operations. They're logging into separate systems for CRM, scheduling, follow-ups, and payments while their competitors are capturing leads at 1:30 AM with AI employees that never sleep.
Lisza Crisalle has spent over two decades helping high-achieving entrepreneurs escape this chaos. She's witnessed financial advisors still scheduling appointments by calling each other, watched prospects get frustrated when follow-ups fall through the cracks, and seen businesses lose deals simply because no one answered the phone after hours. The cost of staying stuck in 2009 systems while operating in 2026 isn't just inefficiency, but also competitive suicide.
That’s exactly why platforms like Go High Level have become mission-critical, bringing everything under one roof with AI-driven automation so businesses can finally replace scattered tools with a single, streamlined operating system built to capture, nurture, and convert every opportunity in real time.
