Episode notes
Truck-Cab Origin Story
- Deontay started recording TikTok from his truck and turned that momentum into a podcast filmed initially in the back of his truck.
- He recruited Big Cat to run a camera after a Canon kept shutting off every 12 minutes and scaled to long-form episodes.
Pause Before Reacting Online
- Don't react immediately to viral headlines; pause and research before posting.
- Admit mistakes publicly when you're wrong instead of doubling down to preserve credibility.
Share Perspective, Not Authority
- Deontay treats his platform as sharing his own conversations rather than claiming authority.
