Listen "WTF with Becca Lamar: Why Experience Still Matters More Than Your Social Media Bio"
Episode Synopsis
Episode Summary:
In this episode of WTF with Becca Lamar, Stacy and Becca get candid about the messy middle of entrepreneurship, the illusion of overnight success, and the growing lack of integrity in the online coaching world. From Gen Z’s “instant six-figure mindset” to social media’s curated perfection, they unpack the danger of skipping the experience part of expertise—and why authenticity, humility, and real-world reps still matter.
It’s an unfiltered, fiery (and funny) conversation about what’s broken in the coaching space, how to build credibility the right way, and why getting out from behind the screen is the biggest growth hack no one’s talking about.
You’ll Learn:
Why “earning it” still matters (and what that actually looks like)
How the “Amazon Prime Effect” has reshaped expectations in business—and how to resist it
Why theory without experience creates fragile confidence
What the rise of “fake it till you make it” coaches says about our culture
The real cost of pricing without integrity (and why discounting rarely works)
How to reconnect with authenticity by meeting people offline
Why doing uncomfortable, messy, imperfect things builds real growth muscle
What authenticity, honesty, and vulnerability actually look like in business today
Key Takeaways:
Experience over education: you can’t consult on something you’ve never done.
Social media shows the after—stop comparing yourself to someone else’s highlight reel.
Don’t fake authority; be transparent about where you are and what you’re learning.
There’s power in beta-testing, charging fairly, and growing your proof before your prices.
Integrity means consistent pricing, honest communication, and delivering what you promise.
Real success comes from getting out into the world—networking, connecting, and failing forward.
Discomfort is the best teacher. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s being brave enough to try.
