Same here. Business is Bullshit is our way of calling it out. Every couple of weeks, the three of us — Jon, James, and Jared — break down the dumbest stories, trends and personalities in the business world. We get into everything from broken work culture, bad tech takes to tone-deaf regulations, cringe \"thought leaders\" and anything \"business.\" No fluff. No hype. Just straight talk, real takes, and a little well-earned cynicism.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-26T12:20:31.190798+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/business-is-bullshit-7096260"},"episode":{"title":"Influencers Are Bullsh*t | Business is Bullsh*t Ep. 17","slug":"influencers-are-bullsh-t-business-is-bullsh-t-ep-17","published_at":"2025-07-16T18:02:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/business-is-bullshit-7096260/influencers-are-bullsh-t-business-is-bullsh-t-ep-17","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/business-is-bullshit-7096260","url":"https://385b4acf-6355-4b46-a0c4-d76e364bf60a.libsyn.com/influencers-are-bullsht-business-is-bullsht-ep-17","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/385b4acf-6355-4b46-a0c4-d76e364bf60a/Ep._17_-_audio.m4a?dest-id=4726657","summary":"Most influencers aren't experts.
