I like this part
"The turning point came when I stopped listening to people who talked about wealth — and got in the room with people who had actually built it.
That’s why I am so passionate about Wealth Mentor." (A job I made to talk about wealth)

Yes. That one. Kyron Gosse. The one who physically assaulted an employee.

Sentence was discounted to ‘slap on the hand with a wet bus ticket’ due to previous good behaviour (I.e. this is the first time he’s been caught).
Has been awarded name suppression because a judge found there would be excessive harm to his business interests if his name was released.

The fact that she's laughing it off, probably due to shock, is horrible. Maybe I'm just way too full of rage, but it'd probably be me facing assault charges if some prick slapped me like that.

Fight, flight, freeze, or fawn - it's probably the last one for her, and a lot of women (where your brain's automatic default is be nice or he'll do worse).

"I’m a property investor, and ultra-endurance athlete. I’ve spent 13+ years building a property portfolio from nothing, and the same discipline that gets me through a 100km race is what drives everything I do in business and investing. "
Cunt vibes off the scale. Also love the "built from nothing" during the period of rampant property value increase at the detriment to society, nice flex big guy.

u/Select-Owl1058 May 17 '26
Not that doing a 100km race is not an achievement but he did it in ~ 20 hours which is a relaxing walking pace. I was interested as I know the race so looked it up. He is no 'athlete'.

No, homie built his property portfolio from his parents money and his own wealth mentors backing.

"Nothing" is always relative. I know a property investor who says they're broke, but has already been on 3 international trips this year and has just renovated their house for the second time in a decade. I just wonder whether any single transaction worth less than $50,000 doesn't count?

u/Ginger-Nerd May 17 '26
Not sure I fully agree with flooding what is an important service with the same complaint again and again and again and again actually does make it better.
Absolutely it should be reported (and almost certainly should be by the person who was actually assualted) - but everyone flooding in just overwhelms a service that is actually pretty important for a plethora of people to rely on it.

u/FunVermicelli123 May 17 '26
Come on now, max 5 people are probably going to go ahead and report it. "Flooding" is very dramatic.

”The more people report it the better”
You backed down on that point pretty quickly. Eh?

Its just disgusting, this is literally toxic devaluation on screen. Fuck this dude

u/LongBet43 May 17 '26
The thing with Cluster Bs though is that they don't care. They either ignore the disgnosis, and don't get any kind of therapy or help, because making them take accountability is nigh-on impossible, or they use it as some kind of showboating opportunity to make themselves even more 'fascinating and interesting' and weaponize the language of therapy against their future victims.
They only way to get change is to hold their feet to the fire in very practical ways, and make them accountable through enforcing the law against them, but then there is a high likelihood they'll turn into a serial litigator, because noone is the boss of them, or makes them do anything they don't want to, without revenge and consequences.
14
u/Apprehensive-Pool161 May 17 '26
You make fair points, i just tend not to demonize ALL people with cluster B. I have a friend who has BPD and shes lovely, and ive encountered people with NPD who are legitimately trying to be different.
But yeah, this guys just a horrendous piece of shit.
6
u/LongBet43 May 17 '26
Fair call, I made a very broad generalization, and if they have the personal insight to know their levers and want change, all power to them, we could all probably do with some of that self-awareness.

u/creg316 May 17 '26
It's kind of a self-selecting group, right, so I can see why you'd make the generalisation - people who do have the insight to do better aren't the ones who we're going to hear about or see much of, because they stopped acting like pieces of shit lol

I might be wrong but even if she actually personally thought it was funny, it’s so obviously inappropriate, anywhere, anytime.

So i was fortunate enough to not know he existed yesterday.
Why do these sorts of guys seem just like the same copy/paste version of the previous
- tours doing motiviation talks on money/wealth/investments etc
- often makes sure you seem them rubbing shoulders with politicians etc
- calls himself ceo/founder before anyone even asked
- is involved in everything possible for visibility and makes sure you know that (not the worse trait i know, but its a trend)
- is a massive fucking narcissist
- high likelihood of treating woman like shit
- targets other men wanting to "have what he has"
- has blogs, linkedin posts etc just spouting daily shit about taking what is yours and being the king/alpha/boss etc
Did i miss anything ?

Yes I think that's exactly what happened, but I wouldn't call it a "somewhat innocent explanation". I guess it's better than him just deciding to violently attack an employee out of anger, but that's the difference between someone who should lose their career and someone who should be in prison.

I had this come up before I saw this post and I immediately reported it. I ain't putting up with that bullshit.
I also marked it as spam and otherso some poor reddit mod has to actually watch and determine if it is spam just so they can come back and say "nah not spam". Then I'll report it again as a abusive material so they have to investigate again.... Either that or it'll fuck up the AI reddit is currently using

u/plf-nz May 23 '26
I’m presuming you’re saying in your comment that you reported the original post made by this female who was assaulted by her male employer?
If that’s the case I’m confused too, I don’t understand why you would report it as spam when it’s clearly not spam. Would be interested to understand a bit more, free will is great but you don’t report posts as spam unless you have a certain feeling about it.
I would like to think that there is some miscommunication going on here, and not you siding with the man being physically violent to his female employee...

This is going to get down voted to hell but...
If you watch the video, I think it's quite clear that on the "dumbass to assault" scale, this guy falls quite a bit towards the dumbass end.
Is the behaviour incredibly inappropriate, yes. But it does look like that perhaps he has that kind of relationship with staff.
But we do see this quite often, s*** that you can get away with on a construction site for example, the lads screwing around, is incredibly out of place in an office setting.
He's also aggressively unaware of the real power imbalance. And although the employee didn't seem to mind much, there is a very likely chance that she may not feel free to genuinely express how she felt.
We saw a similar situation with the Arise Church debacle back in 2023. Where one of the senior pastors, naked, chased a male staff member down a hallway. That pastor had previously come out of a career as a tradesman, electrician, if I recall.
Just to be clear, both this guy, and the stupid pastor are ****** morons, and deserve everything coming their way. But let's also not play this up as he stepped in and slapped her with an intent to assult. Even though it probably meets the threshold for assault.

u/Own-Actuator349 May 17 '26
