The Cult of the Web Celeb

**This week we're sharing an episode from the most recent season of Duped.**

Ever been captivated by a coach who seemed too good to be true—magnetic, inspiring, and totally authentic—only to find yourself questioning how you ended up spending thousands, still feeling like you're not enough? 

You're not the only one.

In this episode, we're diving into the darker side of online business, exploring how some leaders use cult-like tactics to build trust, manipulate your decisions, and keep you hooked. 

Topics discussed in this episode:

• How web celebs earn your trust and devotion through "authenticity."
