Welcome to The Wholesome Degenerate. In this debut episode, Hunter McVey pulls back the curtain on how it all began—from corporate cubicles and clean-cut routines to viral videos, unfiltered chaos, and building a life that finally felt like his.
This isn’t just an intro. It’s a blueprint for the people who feel too bold, too honest, too layered to fit into one box. Hunter shares how he walked away from a “safe” 9–5, found his voice in the mess, and created a brand rooted in duality: discipline and chaos, growth and grit, green juice and tequila.
This is the story behind the name, the movement, and the mindset. Whether you’re building your own path, burning the old one, or just trying to feel less alone in the process—this one’s for you.
