Influence, Epstein & Exit Visas

About this episode

The episode discusses Gen Z mental health, DeInfluencing, the latest Epstein file drop, and visa-free travel options for South Africans.

Do we need to suffer for kids to bloom? That’s the uncomfortable question that kicks off today’s conversation as the team unpacks Gen Z mental-health buzzwords and the culture shaping them. Levi Brown joins the show to talk DeInfluencing — what it really means, why it matters, and how he’s using his platform to push back against brands like Virgin Active in the name of accountability. Gareth Cliff and Ben Karpinski then dive headfirst into the latest Epstein file drop, attempting to connect the dots as the rabbit hole gets darker and deeper. Plus, Matthew Fubbs from The Holiday Factory breaks down which countries South Africans can travel to visa-free — and why now might be the time to pack a bag.
