What if the people you idolize aren’t as real as they seem? In today’s straight-up, no-filter episode, Kevin and Alan expose the illusion behind fake success like botted views, viral hacks, and “polished” influencers built on smoke and mirrors. It’s a brutal truth hit about why integrity still beats algorithms and how chasing vanity metrics can wreck your purpose. This one will make you question who you follow, what you believe, and why slow, honest growth always wins. Real talk. Real work. Real results. Hit play, then go build something that can’t be faked.
