It feels slightly off for this show to be talking about ethics.
But here we are.
This episode digs into a tension at the heart of modern podcasting:
Be vulnerable. Tell your story. Go deeper.
Ship fast. Don’t overthink it. Repurpose everything. Scale the system.
Those two philosophies don’t peacefully coexist.
Tonya just launched a deeply personal storytelling podcast built on radical empathy. Real stories. Messy communication. No heroes. No villains. No tidy “lessons learned.”
And when you’re asking people to tell stories that cost them something, the usual advice starts to break down.
This episode is slightly more thoughtful than usual. Don’t panic. We still question the guru economy.
But underneath the snark is a real metric worth considering. Listen to the end to find out.
