Why I’m Done with Expert Culture and What Small Businesses Actually Need

In this episode of The Business Hyve Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on something that’s been bothering me for a while: the rise of so-called “experts” flooding our feeds with recycled advice, charging premium prices, and leaving small business owners frustrated when the results don’t show up. I share why I’m done with expert culture, how I’ve personally been burned, and what I think small businesses actually need to grow sustainably.

You’ll learn the five questions I use to qualify whether someone is truly worth listening to, especially on social media. We’ll also talk about the flood of AI “experts,” what to watch out for, and how to protect your time, money, and trust from people who haven't earned it.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the noise online, this episode is your reality check.
