“If you've been around the block a few times in the world of online business, chances are you've spent some money that you deeply regret. If you add to that the sometimes difficult work of discerning who to trust as a neurodivergent person (and, in my case, not great at spotting liars and...”Read full review »

“First of all, I am grateful for this podcast and the advocacy that is so desperately needed in relation to the coaching industry! BTW I use that term very loosely ;-)
Second, in regards to the entitlement of people or “coaches” in expecting to be given the remedy or blueprint to fix their very...”Read full review »

“I wish this podcast wasn’t necessary but it’s one of my most recommended shows. After being duped by some of the big name web celebs, this podcast finally helped me forgive myself for falling for their manipulative tactics & cult- like practices. I appreciate that Maggie & Michelle aren’t...”Read full review »

“I love the concept of the show and to that end I’ve listened and listened - waiting for hosts to “get there.” But sadly they never go to the meat of the topics. They just talk around them. Based on what’s said here (and what’s not said) I’m not convinced either host is an expert in their field.”

“This podcast was shared with me in 2021 but I never had the chance to listen. I am now 6 episodes in & every episode has been a great lesson in what is out there in the market.
I think this podcast is for everyone, not just for online businesses.”

“For the most part, this podcast is great and talks about A LOT of problematic stuff in the industry (and also in business as a whole). A little more nuance would make it even better, or even just acknowledging that the sweeping statements wouldn’t apply in all circumstances. For instance, vague...”Read full review »

“I wish I’d found this podcast 7 months ago, BEFORE I had “invested” $2K in an online coaching program, one of many that prey on solopreneurs in my field. Still, it helps to understand the sales tactics and biases explained in this podcast to make sense of how a smart person can still get so duped.”

Some of it is quite obvious but other things are more obscure and I have no idea what “bro marketing” is....”Read full review »

“Duped is a breath of fresh, very honest air in an online landscape filled with disingenuity.

They don’t just expose the icky underbelly of the industry, they...”Read full review »
