About this episode
This one is a personal interest one for me. I found the CoffeeZilla Youtube Channel through a friend of mine and I immediately wanted to interview the guy who does it. In this channel, he goes after internet-enabled fake gurus and picks apart their schemes and shows people how they create fake value and sell that value and take people's money. It is so elegant and I highly recommend this episode if you want to understand how not to be a fool.

Episode transcript
Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. Today I had an interview with Stephen from Coffeezilla. Very, very interesting interview. Steven's pretty bright and. And he is doing a great job of taking down fake gurus on YouTube. It's so great. Like, the videos on there are so great because he just goes through the YouTube video or goes through the videos that these people play or talks to all the people that the fake gurus have kind of screwed over and gets the real story and gets all the tricks and secrets that they use in order to remove people from their money. Very interesting. Very interesting phenomena and very sad. And this is why I think he's doing a great job of actually, like, bringing attention to this, because there's some really shady stuff going on, of course, buyer beware and all that stuff, but still, you know, it's like, it's not. It's not good stuff. So I hope you enjoy this episode. If you do, please find us on itunes, Spotify, or Stitcher or any of the other major podcasting platforms and go ahead and subscribe.
