<p>What if you’re not a guru…you’ve never taken a masterclass…and you’re still somehow surrounded by podcast advice culture?</p><p>In this episode, we talk with <strong>Chris Castanes</strong>, host of <em>You Are Gonna Be Great at This</em> — a proudly demotivational business podcast with a six-minute attention span and zero interest in “the Top 10.”</p><p>Chris isn’t selling a course. He’s not optimizing funnels. He’s just making a podcast he enjoys — and somehow still attracting AI-generated emails, ranking promises, and merch-for-reviews tactics.</p><p>This is a <strong>field report from the civilian zone</strong>:</p><p>* Why podcasting advice keeps finding people who didn’t ask for it</p><p>* How five-star reviews became a barter economy</p><p>* What happens when the bar is so low that “not terrible” feels revolutionary</p><p>* And why enjoying what you’re doing might be the most suspicious move of all</p><p>No tips. No growth hacks. No motivation.Just observational comedy from inside the podcast industrial complex.</p><p>About the Guest</p><p><strong>Chris Castanes</strong> hosts <em>You Are Gonna Be Great at This</em>, a short-form, completely demotivational business podcast for people who want tools—not hype. Episodes are intentionally brief, mildly cynical, and allergic to hustle culture.</p><p>Links & Resources</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.chriscastanes.com/podcast/"><em>You Are Gonna Be Great at This</em></a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.chriscastanes.com/podcast/"> podcast</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.chriscastanes.com/">Chris Castanes</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://monetizethispodcast.substack.com/">Monetize This!</a></p><p>An email to [email protected] might or might not get you a t-shirt.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
