Delusional
Every founder is called delusional before they're called successful.
The world has never been changed by people who thought realistically.
Every breakthrough, category-defining business and industry leader was once dismissed as too ambitious, too risky or completely delusional.
DELUSIONAL is where entrepreneurs, founders, creators and high performers come to challenge conventional thinking and hear the conversations most people never get access to.
Hosted by Sammy Kennedy, each episode goes beyond the highlight reel to uncover the decisions, failures, mindset and strategies behind people building extraordinary businesses and lives. From multi-million-dollar founders to industry disruptors, you'll discover what it really takes to create something that everyone else thought was impossible.
This isn't motivation.
It's the blueprint for thinking bigger, leading differently and building a life most people will never have the courage to pursue.
If people aren't questioning your vision...
You probably aren't thinking big enough.
New episodes every Monday.
Welcome to DELUSIONAL.

Should You Hire Staff or Rent Out Rooms? Featuring Clarissa Saco
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s smarter to hire a team or rent out rooms in your salon, this episode is going to give you so much clarity and confidence.
Today, I’m sitting down with Clarissa Saco - a cosmetic tattoo artist, mentor, investor, and salon owner who’s built an incredible career in the beauty industry. Clarissa bought her first salon at just 22 years old, and her journey since then has been filled with lessons about growth, resilience, and redefining success on her own terms.
In this episode, we dive into:
✨ How Clarissa went from young salon owner to confident landlord and mentor
✨ The pivotal moment that pushed her to rebuild her life after leaving an abusive relationship
✨ What she’s learned about financial independence, leadership, and creating freedom in business
✨ The real pros and cons of hiring staff vs. renting out rooms - and how to know which model fits you best
Clarissa’s story is such a powerful reminder that with the right skills, mindset, and support, you can create a business (and life) that truly lights you up.
If you’re a salon owner, beauty professional, or just someone dreaming of more independence, I know this episode will leave you inspired to take bold action - on your own terms.
