We strip away the buzzwords and the performative outrage to get to the heart of the issues shaping our world. We say what needs to be said—not to cause trouble, but to make sense of the chaos.

What?**, we’re getting into the very messy reality of Information Overload. We talk about the paradox of the internet: how having access to *everything* has actually made us worse at knowing *anything*. If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t agree with your uncle on basic, verifiable facts, blame your brain’s need for dopamine and the algorithms that trap us in digital echo chambers. The apps are literally designed to feed us what we already believe, making anyone who disagrees look completely insane.</span></p><p><span>It’s time to burst the bubble. </span></p>]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2026 05:04:00 GMT</pubDate><itunes:duration>00:09:29</itunes:duration><link>https://roughuglytruth.alitu.com/episode/355370e8-8e79-4274-ad41-2e07f661d01f</link><enclosure url="https://feeds.alitu.com/62290401/355370e8-8e79-4274-ad41-2e07f661d01f.mp3?t=1781845441000" length="13670224" type="audio/mpeg"></enclosure><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><podcast:season>1</podcast:season><itunes:episode>3</itunes:episode><podcast:episode>3</podcast:episode><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:author>Keisha W</itunes:author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">a34bca01-d85b-4664-8897-7d30cd504850</guid><itunes:title><![CDATA[Stand On Business: Stop Ghosting, Start Confronting]]></itunes:title><title><![CDATA[Stand On Business: Stop Ghosting, Start Confronting]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>The Brutal Truth: Hiding Behind a Screen Isn't "Business"</p><p>Stop lying to yourself!

In Episode 2: Stand On Business, we are breaking down the rough, ugly truth about why ghosting is cowardice and why confrontation is actually the highest form of self-respect.</p>]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 12 Jun 2026 05:04:01 GMT</pubDate><itunes:duration>00:07:51</itunes:duration><link>https://roughuglytruth.alitu.com/episode/a34bca01-d85b-4664-8897-7d30cd504850</link><enclosure url="https://feeds.alitu.com/62290401/a34bca01-d85b-4664-8897-7d30cd504850.mp3?t=1781240642000" length="11314339" type="audio/mpeg"></enclosure><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><podcast:season>1</podcast:season><itunes:episode>2</itunes:episode><podcast:episode>2</podcast:episode><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:author>Keisha W</itunes:author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">b3f283c4-9221-45ed-9907-799100c26c47</guid><itunes:title><![CDATA[Not Your Life, Not Your F*cking Problem]]></itunes:title><title><![CDATA[Not Your Life, Not Your F*cking Problem]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span>We are living in an era of peak entitlement.
