Summary

In this solo episode, Steve Stanulis gets raw and real about the trap most entrepreneurs fall into—chasing clout instead of building a business. Fresh off hitting nearly one million downloads, he shares how he almost quit, what kept him going, and the hard facts about “fake fame,” viral views, and follower fraud. From CEOs buying likes to creators with no call-to-action, Steve breaks down why organic growth, real engagement, and offline business moves always win over vanity metrics. If you're tired of dopamine hustlers, rented Lambos, and empty social hype—this episode is your wake-up call.

Does cloud equal cash?

1:06.0

So the key points today are 90% of the content creators aren't business owners.

1:14.6

They create content, but does that really help their company?

1:20.7

Does a viral moment actually build a custom base?

1:25.0

So let's talk about that.

1:26.1

1:50.3

And my take is it does not because usually a lot of people are not savvy enough,

1:55.2

and I'm not saying everybody out there is when they put something out with a new business,

2:05.2

and I've been guilty of this as myself with a lot of stuff, they don't have a follow-up at the end of the video or a call-to-action page. So yes, it's great. You've got eyes on it, but now where do they go? What's the call to
