>he's a panderer and a snake oil salesperson that packages their snake oil and pithy advice in such a way that it's palatable and relatable to men? I've watched about 10 of the shows and he doesn't sell anything or offer anything except asking questions and guiding the conversation with the guest. For example the 2 kevin heart interviews, joe rogan sold nothing.

  I've listened to quite a bit of Rogan and I'm also struggling to figure out what you mean by him giving people advice or selling snake oil. He has ads, as just about all media does, but the interviews themselves are just long-form conversations with interesting people. He doesn't really tell people to do anything, except maybe learn Brazilian jiu jitsu or occasionally (to his guests) to start a podcast.

    He's "selling" a certain attitude and world view where hard work and sacrifice ultimately bring happiness. It sells well, because people love to listen to success stories and love to get temporarily enthusiastic, imagining them doing the hard work and sacrifice as well.

      I went and Googled this to see what it was about. Seems like it's some doctor /wannabe-influencer trying to make a name for herself: https://www.instagram.com/p/CNK0cPLL4df/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CNK0cPLL4df/

      > He's "selling" a certain attitude and world view where hard work and sacrifice ultimately bring happiness. How is this not true? All good things I have are because I busted my ass and when I was lucky enough to have opportunities I had the tools to capitalize on those opportunities. If you’re lazy and just coasting you cannot be ready when opportunity knocks.
