About this episode
Because it's a holiday week I'm re-running one of my favorite episodes from last year.
I spoke to content creator Brad Podray about the problem with “Kindness Influencers” and whether charity for content is ethical. We talk MrBeast, viral giveaways, and the difference between actual kindness vs kindness for the camera.
