Mike "Silent Mike" Farr and Jim McDonald are entrepreneurs (lifestyle apparel company and a barbell gym) and veteran podcasters. In every episode, they try to answer a single question. Any question is fair game, but most involve health, fitness, nutrition, mental health, culture…even sex. They examine common misconceptions and then try to get to the correct answer -- often with the help of subject matter experts. They walk away with a better sense of the facts…and so do you. Full episodes every Wednesday. Shorter episodes every Friday, dedicated to answering a question from listeners.

Should social media following be a factor in getting hired? | Topic Thunder
We are supported by Legion Athletics. Use our code “goodcompany” for 20% off at legionathletics.com
This is Topic Thunder episode -- our rapid-fire panel discussion show.
Today’s question was inspired by a Reddit post in which someone lost out on more than one job because they had a very small social media following. As a business owner – especially a small business owner with little or no marketing budget – would you pick the candidate with the biggest following if all other factors were equal?
Our buddy Matt Ogi joined us for this one. You can find him on @matt_ogi on Instagram.

Customer Reviews
One of my favorites
Always funny, always dropping knowledge and no fake stuff. Just some good guys teaching you about being a better person, better lifter, and having some laughs along the way. Been following Mike and Jim for a long time now and there’s a good reason for it.
Was better
Jim is great. Mike...ehhh. But.....Avi? No thank you. She doesn’t have much to contribute. Nothing personal, but her voice isn’t made for this kind of platform.
LOVE IT!!!!
This is an great podcast!! This show offers insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!! This show is a must listen!!
