Tired of gurus selling courses on how to sell courses? This is The Hope-Despair Cycle. A deep dive into the broken creator economy and the psychological reason you feel stuck, cynical, and full of self-doubt.
Most people are just collectors of frameworks, quotes, and courses like digital security blankets because it’s easier to study the map than to walk the terrain.
There was a time I was overexposed to the Iman Gadhzi's, Alex Micol's, Sebastian Ghiorghiu's, and Jordan Welsh's of YouTube. Only ever bought one 'course' in my life from this guy called Cardinal Mason. Can't explain why him specifically tbh
His marketing made me feel insane FOMO
The second the money left my bank account, I snapped out of this weird drunken stupor
FOMO and hope gone in a flash.
Thought "The fuck just happened?"
I spent about 20 minutes total on the course before ditching it.
