Growth – Avoid The Bulls***ting Guru

In a world awash with self-proclaimed experts and Instagram-perfect entrepreneurs, it’s a real challenge to separate genuine substance from slick spin. Many can talk a good game, sporting the right clothes and car, but scratch the surface and the depth simply isn"t there. They might know all the business clichés and initially motivate you, but often falter when real problems arise. This episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast tackles how to see past these superficial displays. The hosts aim to help you identify those who only talk the talk. Joel and Martha delve into the tactics used by "business gurus" who often rely on polished branding and carefully constructed, sometimes exaggerated, sob stories to gain trust. They discuss how to spot "performative vulnerability," where emotional displays feel inauthentic, and vague advice shrouded in buzzwords like "alignment" or "my truth". The episode also scrutinises flashy success claims, such as ambiguously defined "seven figure launches," which often don"t stand up to closer inspection. Ultimately, it’s about equipping you with the insight to recognise red flags and trust your own judgement in a crowded market. Here’s what you’ll learn: 🚩 How to spot vague, recycled advice that lacks real value. 🎭 The truth behind “performative vulnerability” and emotional manipulation. 📉 Why many of these gurus avoid specifics and metrics like the plague, and what that really tells you. 💸 What a big price tag definitely doesn’t guarantee. 🔑 How to stay grounded and trust your own judgement in a very noisy market. 🎧 Listen now.
