What The Attempted Cancellation of Andrew Huberman Should Teach All Creators.
#2: When a dog is scared, it barks.
The cancellation party is coming after Andrew Huberman.
His ideas of natural and behavioral health changes have made him a superstar in a world of prescription pills, trends, and fad diets. But it’s also made him enemies in powerful places.

Empowering people with evidence-based protocols, information and free resources is not in the interest of Big Pharma’s business model. They need to keep you dumb and unhealthy.

#1: This is a risk for every creator.
I’m 100% in on the creator economy.
But I’m not naive to the downsides of putting yourself out there. Especially when you start to build a big audience across multiple platforms.
You become a target people aim for.
Just the use of your name and image becomes clickable. The incentives become to take you down or to get as close as possible to you. Either way, it becomes hard to trust others.
