Is Giving Unsolicited Advice Good?

Giving unasked-for advice might feel generous—but it often backfires. In this episode, host Harwin opens with a clever warning: he's about to deliver unsolicited advice while explaining why you should never do the same. If you're still listening, you'll discover why most people secretly resent being told how to improve, even when the advice is good.

You'll learn why coaches, marketers, and anyone selling expertise should resist the urge to hand out free suggestions—especially when nobody asked. Harwin explains the psychology behind why people don't value free advice, why they rarely implement it, and why charging something (even a lunch or a charity donation) dramatically increases follow-through. He also draws a sharp line: sharing knowledge through content, books, or opt-in channels is smart marketing; sliding into someone's DMs or cornering them at a party with "a few tips" is not.
