Who controls the story controls what people believe is true.
In this episode, Mikki Willis shares how film and media have been used not just to inform, but to influence, construct perception, and protect power.
Raised by a single mother on welfare, his early life shaped how he understood inequality, messaging, and the systems that impact everyday people. That lens followed him into filmmaking, where his work has reached global audiences and even played a role in legal cases.
This conversation doesn’t stop at media. It moves through politics, personal awakening, and what happens when you get close enough to power to see how things actually work. From time spent on the campaign trail to conversations with insiders, Mikki reflects on the gap between public narratives and private reality.
Mikki and Mark also explore bigger questions:
- How influence is built
- Why people comply with systems they don’t trust
- And what happens when technology, information, and control begin to converge
This episode is about awareness.
Because once you start questioning the story, you start seeing the system behind it.
