Why This "Fake Podcast" Trend Is Ruining Your Brand (and what you should be doing instead) | Ep.263

There’s a guy on Instagram telling people to “start a fake podcast” to look credible. Let me make this clear; There’s nothing credible about pretending. A fake podcast doesn’t build trust, it destroys it. It screams scam, not authority. It’s like renting a Ferrari to convince people you’re successful. Because when people find out it’s not real, the credibility you were chasing disappears. If you want to build authority, you have to earn it through real content, consistency, and authenticity. So in this episode, I break down why fake podcasts are worse than having no podcast at all, and more importantly, what you should actually be doing instead to build real authority, consistency, and trust online.
