The Influencers Are Not Okay

It’s 2023 and we are seeing the real-time results of what it’s like to live your life in the public eye, and the outcome is not good. In this episode, we discuss the public revelations from influencers who are struggling, plus our own experience fighting and flirting with the attention economy. We have to ask the question, is the reality of a life lived so publicly actually sustainable?
