Ever met someone online and immediately thought, “Finally—someone’s saying what we’re all thinking”? That’s Maggie Patterson: writer, podcaster, BS-buster, and founder of BS-Free Business. In this week’s episode of The Digital Junk Drawer, Maggie joins me for a no-holds-barred conversation on ethical business, pricing manipulation, and why the online business world is more culty than most people realize. She’s been in the game for 20 years, seen the shady marketing tactics up close, and built a sustainable, boring-on-purpose business that actually pays her. If you’ve ever felt gaslit by girlboss culture, manipulated by fake six-figure claims, or just tired of the grind-for-visibility hamster wheel, this conversation is your exit ramp. We talked about the cost of doing business with integrity, the real math behind “scaling,” and why staying solo might just be the most rebellious move of all.
