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