Description

This week we’re giving you a little teaser of what’s going on over the Duped Patreon. Our January episode offered a grab bag of topics as we dove into all the things happening in cults, documentaries, and online business. In this teaser, we discuss the current conversation about "degrowth" and our feelings on the matter.  Want to hear the rest of the conversation? Join the Patreon and you can listen to the January episode in full where we also cover: More thoughts on the Netflix Twin Flame docuseries. The Bitconned documentary and how it's so much like online business. Did season 3 of The Dream podcast get it right? What did they miss? A high-profile example of a business shutdown, and is it legit? What we see on Threads, and why are there so many  "your coach first name" accounts?

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been duped by a celebrity entrepreneur or coach, or watched with wonderment as people do downright dirty things to grow their business online, this is the show for you. When it comes to starting and growing a business online, there’s no denying the appeal of a flexible, freedom-filled life where you can make more money than you ever imagined. But behind the glossy images on Instagram and big promises, there’s a dark side. In Duped, your hosts Dr. Michelle Mazur and Maggie Patterson do a deep dive into everything that’s wrong with the online business world. From scammy life coaches to sleazy sales practices to cult and MLM style tactics we talk about all of it. You’ll learn what to watch for as a consumer so you can protect yourself from falling prey to these tricks and tactics.
