When "Journalists" Fail & Entrepreneurs Win

In partnership with

The tide is turning.

Just 2 days ago, Mark Zuckerberg made a shocking announcement: Meta is moving away from “fact”-checkers and I am already feeling its impact in business (more on this in a moment)

No more politically charged oversight or biased gatekeepers. The platform is returning to its roots, finally allowing users to engage in real, uncensored discussions by implementing the community notes model with decentralized swarm intelligence, whose superiority is indisputable in terms of truth-finding, which is of course why they don’t like it.

And this isn’t just a corporate move. This is the market speaking.

Justin Trudeau stepping down, Musk turning X into a free speech haven, and Meta following in his footsteps—these aren’t isolated events. They’re signs of a cultural shift, a rejection of the overreach we’ve all been choking on for years.

How this started to impact my business in real time

It’s not just on the big stage. I’ve seen it firsthand.

Over the last month, I have met with a client, the CEO of Quantum Magazine. His vision? A magazine written exclusively by entrepreneurs and experts. No journalists. No narratives spun to fit an agenda. Just raw, actionable insight from people who’ve walked the walk.

Why?

Because the world is done with the gatekeepers. People no longer trust them.

During my initial business consulting sessions with Theo, he shared with me his unique selling proposition and it struck a chord.

Theo didn’t want to create another mainstream publication; instead he wanted to address a growing demand for authenticity. He explained that entrepreneurs are exhausted by the noise of traditional media and its gatekeepers. They crave real, actionable insights from people who have actually built businesses and faced market realities, not from a journalist who’s never taken a single risk, built anything of value, or stepped out of their academic BS bubble.

They want actionable wisdom from real entrepreneurs. Period.

And he’s not alone.

I’ve been working on projects that capitalize on this exact trend. My own outreach campaigns and consulting projects are leaning heavily into this demand for authenticity. Entrepreneurs and CEOs are vetting the media they consume with one question: Is this a journalist’s opinion, or does it come from someone who’s actually done it?

This shift isn’t just cultural. it’s deeply practical.

People are realizing that your time is limited. If you’re going to spend it consuming content, you want something that pushes you forward. Not empty headlines or some ideologue’s agenda.

Here’s My Takeaway:

The pendulum is swinging back.

We’re entering an era where free speech, genuine expertise, and unfiltered truth and authenticity matter more than ever. For me, this shift means focusing more on content, outreach, and consulting that truly impacts entrepreneurs.

The hunger for authenticity and practical insights has never been greater, and I’m leaning into that demand.

So let me leave you with this:

Are you consuming content that aligns with where you want to go? Or are you still stuck in the fog of the propaganda war?

If you’re ready to cut through the static and focus on growth, I’d love to help.

Whether it’s refining your strategy, building your brand, or identifying the next steps for your business, I’m here to bring clarity and actionable insight.

Let’s talk!
