Mark Manson Quits Podcast

[BlessedLion]

A great lesson on authenticity and life purpose, props to Mark, unfortunately i think his follower count will drop now that he is actually going to produce in depth content. I also don't really agree with his viewpoints or perspective on many things, but thought this was cool. Being a full-time podcaster seems pretty difficult, and this brings light to an even deeper issue: Most of these people being interviewed and famous podcasters are actually extremely contradictory and do not like being challenged on their views. I see why Mark got burnt out on these mainstream guests, honestly it's simply too much information to truly ground and go deep in anything, like quick hit dopamine self help

Sounds like a sensible decision.

That's why I never interview people. It's lame.

I love Mark. He is similar to Leo in many ways. Mainly that they both truly give a fuck about what they value most and ditch everything else.

Although Mark will soon find that his long ass episodes will get very little views and require so much more work than interviewing people that he might not like the drop in success.

The reason everyone does interviews is because it's 20x easier and more profitable.

His books are really good for people in their 20s

his pickup book “models” is also pretty good. 

[MsNobody]

He destroyed Joe Dispenza lol 

[MsNobody]

@Leo Gura he said he will remove the ads too, hopefully his focus is not money. Curious to see how things will unfold and for how long he will be capable to prioritize his authenticity

@Leo Gura I have read all his books and watched his podcasts. I liked them especially the book called Subtle Art of not giving a ----. I have found his work similar to your's.

[Consept]

I really like him his well, think ive read most of his books if not all. Respect his authenticity and its a shame being authentic isnt as promoted or amplified as much as saying what people want to hear. As far as I know he didnt really do that many interviews or have guests on in the first place so i get the feeling the new content would just be what hes doing now but longer and more in depth

Thanks, I watched it. I sensed jealousy to be honest. Dispenza helped more people than he ever will and that bothers him haha. Although I like Manson he is somewhat of a megalomaniac which is ok. His current podcast only gets like 10-k views so he is trying to make a lot of noise to get more attention.

Today one friend asked me when I will start my podcast. I told her that I will when I find people with Epistemic Integrity enogth .

I think it depends on who you interview, but most of these mainstream “experts” are like bubble gum self help. They are charismatic and pull you in but their advice is shallow and not rooted in any deep or time tested principles. 
 

Alex Hormozi

Rich Roll 

Sadia Khan 

even Robert Greene 

 

They rarely share anything that profound and mostly confuse people. I don’t think their work is grounded in strong principles. It’s like a strange form of word wizardry. 
 

But people like 

 

Wilber

Ralston 

Grandmeister Wolf 

 

Would be an honor to interview

That’s true. Researching, structuring editing and creating videos from scratch is much more challenging than asking questions

I think it’s okay but it’s missing some serious principles and time tested values, has a tinge of nihilism to it, and he seems to have a serious chip on his shoulder around Stage Green values and practices like meditation and love. 
 

Not my vibe, but I can see how it could help a lot of people, especially young guys. Overall I think he’s a solid male role model, and doing good in the world.

He’s already really rich and successful. I don’t think he gives a shit about it 

[BlessedLion]

A good example of this is Diary of a CEO. It’s the number 1 podcast in the world but it’s like fast-food dialogue and entertainment. It’s Netflix wearing the cloak of education and learning. 
 

The latest video is on stupid gimmicks and tricks for manipulating your facial expressions so people like you. Like your appeasing a baby! 
 

Another recent one is on a crooked cop, there is no wisdom being learned here, just interesting stories and perspectives, but no one watching DOAC is learning core principles of living well. 
 

It’s bubble gum self help. And all these guests do is just loop and loop on different platforms creating this echo chamber which causes mass confusion on how to live but people think they are becoming smarter.
