Ep. 269 - Are Social Media PhDs Ruining Fitness? (feat Dr. Milo Wolf, Max Coleman & Dr. Pak)

Whitney Houston said it best: "I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way." Here at Iron Culture, we're old, irrelevant and out of touch. But, we believe in platforming the next generation of educators to carry on the torch (or at least pandering so they'll platform us in return when we can no longer pay the bills). In this Roundtable we're joined by Dr. Milo Wolf, Dr. Pak, and first-time guest Max Coleman, to discuss the challenges of growing a following using social media in 2024 as an evidence-based content creator. The game has changed what worked for us, won't be as successful, and striking the right balance is not easy, and getting it wrong comes with lashback. Are we all just doing more harm than good?
