  • Glad to see episode exposing Jon Prosser

    I always liked Geared Up podcast and play every new episode while I commute to office. This time I liked how you guys openly spoke about Jon gives me more confidence how genuine and true you people are. I never liked Jon and his videos. They were just waste of time. He used to exaggerate a lot and give 1 minute real news in 10-15 mins of YouTube video. I stopped watching him a long time ago.
