Description

Everywhere you look in online business, someone's promising the moon — a 6-figure month, a personality overhaul, maybe even a cellular glow-up.

But here's the real question: are these programs actually delivering or just selling hype?

In this episode, we break down how program promises went from helpful clarity to manipulative fantasy — and how to spot the difference before you buy (or sell).

Topics discussed in this episode:

  • How online programs went from "helpful promises" to hype machines.

  • The psychology that makes big claims so tempting.

  • Red flags that signal a promise you shouldn't trust.

  • How to spot real value vs. dream-selling.

  • What ethical, grounded promises look like.
