This is why I consciously avoid absolutely anything Ferris is involved with. You can immediately know that it will be something of no real substance designed to sell subscriptions to a monthly razor service.
It's rather unfair to call Ferris out as disingenuous or a snake-oil guy. I believe he genuinely thinks he is helping people, and there are actually some pretty fascinating interviewees and conversations on his podcast. If I have to fast-forward over some ads then so be it.
