This Reddit post is calling Fayt a cult... let's talk about it!
Apparently Fayt is a cult now? Well, according to Reddit, it is. In today’s bonus episode, Britt is diving headfirst into some online controversy, addressing a recent Reddit thread accusing Fayt's community of being a “cult”, claiming the company’s community-first approach is nothing more than a manipulative marketing tactic. But is there more to this accusation than just internet drama? Britt thinks so. She unpacks the deeper narrative at play here: the growing trend of demonising female-led businesses and dismissing genuine connection as inauthentic or strategic. With a rising wave of online cynicism, especially toward women in business, Britt breaks down the quiet misogyny that hides behind so-called “hot takes.” LINKS Follow Britt on: Instagram - @brittney_saunders Instagram - @bigbusiness_podcast TikTok - @brittney_saunders YouTube - Brittney Saunders - Fayt The Label Check out FAYT The Label HERE.
