Why does everyone on social media seem like an expert?
Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits & Hustle.
How can you discern credible advice from social media?
Crush it.
What does it mean when advice has an expiration date?
Before we get into today's episode, I want to take a moment to talk about something that changed how I think about skincare, and that's peak.
How does the relevance of advice change over time?
Because here's what nobody tells you. You can spend a fortune on serums and creams and still look tired.
Why is self-proclaimed expertise problematic?
And then you start to actually wonder, maybe your skin is just done. But the real reason is that your cells are dehydrated and inflamed underneath.
What should you consider before taking advice from influencers?
So nothing you put on top is actually going to fix it.
How can social media create a false sense of authority?
You're just treating the surface when the problem is way deeper. And that's why I love Peak's Radiant Skin Duo. You take the Sun Goddess Matcha in the morning to detox, calm inflammation, and turn your glow back on from the inside. And then their BT Fountain Beauty Electrolytes throughout the day. This is a luxury hydration with thermosides and hyaluronic acid that actually repairs your skin barrier at the cellular level. So your skin just drinks it up.
What are the dangers of following health advice on social media?
They both come in these sachets, making it super simple to add into your daily routine and just add it into your water. They taste great. And you know exactly the right amount every time. There's no measuring, no thinking about it. And for someone who's running around all the time, that's a lot. So I'm telling you, it is fantastic. Right now, Peak is offering 20% off for life plus free gifts. So you have to go to www.peaklife.com slash Jennifer S.D. to grab the Radiant Skin Duo. The link is in the show notes, but once again, to get 20% off, you must go to www.p-i-q-u-e-l-i-f-e.com slash Jennifer S.D. to grab the Radiant Skin Duo now. Welcome to another solo episode of Habits & Hustle. And before we, of course, dive into the next topic, I want to make sure that you guys, if you're listening to the podcast, it would be so helpful if you have not yet subscribed to please subscribe.
It makes a big, big difference in the algorithm and getting more people to know that we exist. And it's just something we really appreciate, right? Right, Shani? Mm-hmm. And for those of you who do listen... We have Shani the foil. Hello. Joining us. And I really wanted to explore a topic that I've been thinking a lot about, especially because of social media. And that is like the whole concept and idea around advice. Everybody is an advice giver. If you know, the more you scroll with Instagram, I mean, every second reel is someone doling out advice and, which got me really annoyed because I feel like that has become the new ether we're living in, right? Everyone's an expert. Everybody's a guru. Everyone knows everything about everything, which is just such garbage.
And I wanted to talk about this because it's impossible. For everybody, A, to know everything, to be an expert in everything. And people have to have more discernment of where they're seeking out advice from. And this goes with everything in life. It is business. It is personal. It is everything. So I wanted to talk with this. I read a couple articles recently about the fact that I am not the only one who feels this way, if you can believe it. I'm actually very upset about the fact that this has become such a trend and a thing in ethos about everyone being an expert and a guru, because if people don't have the wherewithal to know, then they're really getting advice from the wrong people who have no business in the world giving you advice.
So, like, if you are someone who is seeking true advice from somebody, make sure that the person that you're talking to has done whatever that thing is before. And there's other, like, things that should qualify you as an expert, right? Because it's actually, I think that advice actually expires. There's a finite amount of time and characteristics that actually think that that advice even qualifies, right?
Wouldn't you agree? I think that's exactly how almost every single millennial and Gen Z feels when their parents instruct them to just buy a house, settle down, do what they did, get a steady job. And it's like absolutely ridiculous advice for this economy and for this world.
