In this episode, we discuss:

1. Why publishers are still afraid of bold titles—and what that says about risk in modern marketing
2. Where the idea for “Who the F Are You”* really came from
3. Why the best products and smartest people don’t always win in the internet age
4. MVS (Minimal Viable Self): What it is and why it matters more than a resume
5. What “scaling with your soul” actually looks like in real life
6. The fine line between healthy visibility vs hollow self-promotion
