The Uncomfortable Truth About Simon Squibb’s Advice (This Is Where People Get Hurt)

Simon Squibb’s videos are everywhere right now, from telling strangers to quit their jobs, to claiming education is a scam, to handing out money and ice cream on camera. But does any of it actually help people start real businesses?

In this episode, we react to several Simon Squibb clips and break down what’s really being said beneath the viral soundbites. We discuss the dangers of oversimplified entrepreneurial advice, the reality of starting a business with no money, and why “just start” is not always the empowering message it is made out to be.

We also look at:

• The problem with saying “education is a scam”

• Why confidence, experience, and lead generation actually matter

• The difference between motivation and practical business advice

• Performative kindness versus real impact

• How Simon Squibb’s content compares to figures like Gary Vee and Daniel Priestley

This is not a personal attack. It is an honest conversation about modern hustle culture, viral business advice, and whether short-form motivation is helping or misleading the next generation of entrepreneurs.

If you are thinking about starting a business, quitting your job, or you are just tired of TikTok entrepreneurship, this one is worth watching.
