Trash Talk: Where Bad Advice + Cliches Get Taken Out

Welcome to the official kickoff of All the Gurus, our feature experiment in examining ideas that don’t *always* deserve to be nodded at.
In this episode, Erica Breuer and Erin Thomas take on “Everything is Figureoutable,” the phrase that launched a thousand vision boards and at least one bestselling book.
Popularized by Marie Forleo, this mantra promises forward motion, and it’s a case study for what we’re calling the guru formula: a repeatable pattern that turns relatability, certainty, and a simple idea into a full-blown media engine.
