not only that but I kind of feel like "selling" lets down the new-media movement he's been leading

his success is basically a middle finger to traditional media and corporations - having a very small team, organic growth, and being more authentic and making millions without NEEDING to sell out.

of course I've never had a 9 figure deal so I'm soapboxing here.

but I'd be lying if I didn't say this damages what i really admired about the podcast. idk.
