Business is BullshitGuest Appearance: The Get Shit Done Podcast with John MorrisThe Get Shit Done Experience asked to interview us. Word is, Jared’s got dirt on someone — or maybe John Morris just lost a bet. Either way, the host had his hands full. Watching the circus is one thing. Getting pelted with elephant shit is another. But John didn’t flinch. He juggled our three overly opinionated personalities like a seasoned Gibsonton carnival clown — and didn’t drop a single pin. Here’s the description ripped off directly from The...2025-05-061h 37
The Get Shit Done ExperienceBusiness is Bullsh!t… Just Get Shit Done!In this episode of The Get Shit Done Experience podcast, John Morris welcomes James Hornick, Jon Tsourakis, and Jared Gibson, who bring a refreshing, brutally honest perspective.

In this episode, we decided to air some out — the little things that get under our skin and make us question humanity. Some are universal. Others… you might judge us for. Fair enough. It started light, but let’s just say it escalated. When you're talking about the stuff that tears at the fabric of your soul, the language tends to follow. So if there are kids around — crank it up and prepare them for a future career at sea or on a const...2025-04-2443 minBusiness is BullshitBusiness News is Bullsh*t | Business is Bullsh*tThis week, we're ripping apart the garbage fire that is business and financial news. James, Jared, and Jon are back (finally) to tear through the headlines that are designed to scare you, confuse you and keep you glued to bullshit. From the myth of stagflation making its annual comeback, to "falling satellites" that aren't actually falling on your head, we break down how most financial media is pure manipulation — and why you shouldn't let it mess with your money, your business or your sanity. They discuss how the media creates news out...2025-04-0740 minBusiness is BullshitBuyers Are Bullsh*t | Business is Bullsh*tWe made it to episode 10. Honestly, we weren’t sure we’d make it this far. But here we are. Still talking. Still calling out nonsense. And this time, we’re tackling bad buyers—the ones who make business miserable. The puppy kickers. The worst humans. You know the type: the ones who think "partner" means "someone I can boss around." Who treat vendors like disposable napkins or who have mastered the art of ghosting until they need something ASAP. Some are clueless. Some are just straight-up awful. Either way, bad buyers hurt their own...2025-03-1939 minBusiness is BullshitMovies & TV Bullsh*t | Business is Bullsh*tIn Episode 9 of Business is Bullshit, we dive into the only industry more bloated than corporate consulting—Hollywood. James, Jared, and Jon break down why movies used to be great, why they mostly suck now, and how TV took over as the superior medium—at least until HBO started self-sabotaging. From the fall of mid-budget films to algorithm-driven garbage, they tackle the business side of entertainment and why most new releases feel like AI-generated slop. They also share their all-time favorite movies and TV shows, debate whether Gladiator 2 went too far with CGI sharks, and reve...2025-03-0540 minBusiness is BullshitH-1B Visas and Offshoring Jobs Bullsh*tThink all these layoffs are about AI? Think again. Jon Tsourakis, Jared Gibson, and James Hornick dive into the real story behind the latest corporate cost-cutting spree—how companies use H-1B visas and offshoring to drive down wages while pretending it’s all about "efficiency." Spoiler: it’s not. But before that, Jon has a bone to pick with a sneaky little 4% tax still showing up on some Chicago restaurant bills. Also, why are Jared and Jon getting flooded with ads featuring insanely jacked old dudes? Now, back to business. H-1B vi...2025-02-1933 minBusiness is BullshitCrap Sales Tactics Vol 1Sumo oranges, Walmart’s logo “glow-up,” and sales tactics that should’ve died in 2003. Jon, James and Jared kick off with a breakdown of Walmart’s subtle logo tweak. Then, tear into the spammy sales tactics still lurking around, the so-called “predictable revenue” model, and AI-driven outreach that’s turning inboxes into dumpster fires. They also swap cold-calling horror stories, debating whether podcast invites are just sneaky sales pitches, and roasting vanity awards (aka the participation trophies of business). If you’re in sales, love sumo oranges, or just appreciate a solid rant, give it a wh...2025-01-3140 minBusiness is BullshitPredictions Are BullshitIn Ep 6, we dig into humanity's obsession with predicting the future. From the psychological comfort it provides to the bad calls made by some of the world's most successful/powerful people, James, Jared and Jon break down why forecasting is a business expectation—and why it's often wrong. They also share some of the worst predictions they've heard recently. And since the clowns can’t help themselves, of course, they have their own predictions. And finally, they round out the final stretch with why the rise of AI might just make humans even worse at being...2024-12-2346 minBusiness is BullshitSales Are Bullshit v1Is it time to shred your perfectly crafted sales script?

In this episode of Business is Bullshit, we’re diving into business regulations and what FTC has been up to—and why it’s stirring up so much drama. We’re talking about the “Click to Cancel” rule (finally, a way to escape that gym membership), the big fight over non-compete clauses, and the sneaky world of regulatory capture—where the regulators might be a little too friendly with the people they’re supposed to regulate. Oh, and we’re spec...2024-11-2630 minBusiness is BullshitAI is Bullsh*tIn Episode 3 of Business is Bullshit, hosts James Hornick, Jared Gibson, and Jon Tsourakis cover everything from AI job scams to ADA loophole exploitation.
