Listen "Fake Gurus: Discernment in the Age of Social Media"
Episode Synopsis
Glenn Marsden's YouTube video exposes the deceptive practices of online "gurus," particularly in the coaching and publishing industries. He cautions viewers to be wary of those promising quick success, bestseller status, or guaranteed media coverage, especially on social media. Marsden emphasises the importance of due diligence, critical thinking, and understanding the strategies these "gurus" employ before investing money. He stresses that genuine success requires hard work, consistent effort, and authentic connections, not just visualisation or surface-level marketing. He highlights the need to look beyond shiny promises and assess the real-world results and integrity of these self-proclaimed experts.
