A video surfaced this week that suggests David Wood's recent public breakdown may be theater, not tragedy.
Last week, Facebook videos showed Wood in apparent crisis. His brother William quickly confirmed the narrative—David was on drugs and checked into rehab, he said. William added that David would be stripped of his leadership role at Empower Network for at least a year.
Then the "Entreprenonymous" video dropped. It contained WhatsApp chat logs from a group Wood created on June 12th, the day after his Facebook meltdown began. The group, titled "Please listen it is urgen," included hundreds of industry influencers Wood had hastily added.
Four minutes after creating the group, Wood posted: "Please wait. I am sending you all proof."
Ten minutes later came the proof—a video of Wood pointing at a tree, commanding it to grow flowers and bloom. In voice messages that followed, he claimed that without people listening to him, "everyone and everything is going to die." He referenced the kingdom of God arriving in seven years minus seventeen days.
Wood then ordered Tera Mangan, Empower Network's communications manager, to immediately call Vick Streizheus, a former Empower Network affiliate who had publicly left the company in early 2014 citing regulatory issues in South Dakota. Streizheus had run the largest Empower Network affiliate downline through Big Idea Mastermind. Wood's reason for the urgent demand remains unexplained.
The messages escalated. Wood announced he was "healing" everyone in the group, telling them they no longer had cancer, HIV, AIDS, or any disease. He then accused Empower Network Marketing Director Rob Rammuny of being the Antichrist, warning that the world would end unless Rammuny was blocked "from everywhere, right now."
After Wood posted another video snapping a kitchen knife from its plastic handle, his brother William appeared in the chat. In a 48-second voice message, William pleaded with David to stop sending messages and referenced David's deteriorating behavior.
The timing and choreography of these messages—the carefully branded video, the coordinated messages to specific Empower Network personnel, the theatrical declarations—suggest something other than genuine mental crisis. A man truly in psychotic breakdown doesn't typically organize influencers into a WhatsApp group and timestamp his delusions for maximum impact.
Whether Wood orchestrated this as a marketing stunt, a power play within Empower Network, or something else entirely remains unclear. What's certain is that the narrative William established—addiction and rehabilitation—sits uneasily against a digital trail that reads less like a meltdown and more like performance.
