Jessica Wilson is joined by author Tessa Rapaczynski for the next episode in the re-grifting series. Tessa's article for Medium titled "The Long Con and dirty dong of Andrew Huberman, PhD" immediately caught my eye. Today's episode is their conversation about the evolution of Huberman and his path from nerdy professor who didn't leave his lab to podcast bro with 7.3 million followers and multiple identities.
The two discuss Tessa's initial connection to Huberman and his work and the evolution of Wellness spaces to use words like "optimization."
The two also reference the Mar. 25, 2024,New Yorker article by Kerry Howley titled: "Andrew Huberman's Mechanisms of Control; The private and public seductions of the world's biggest pop neuroscientist."
