Math Hoffa on Why He Fired Esso & Hynaken from My Expert Opinion (Part 19)

Watch Full Interview

--------

In a recent interview between Vlad and Math Hoffa, the two discussed a controversy involving Esso and Hynaken leaving Hoffa's podcast. The hosts cleared up any suspicion that Esso and Hynaken's departure was caused by someone else. Instead, Hoffa explained that they were fired for creating their own podcast while still being part of his. This move directly violated the agreement they had, which was to focus on Hoffa's podcast. Vlad shared a similar experience he had on his show and stated that employees sign a non-compete agreement to prevent such incidents. The non-compete bars staff from creating content that could compete with the existing platform. Both Vlad and Hoffa concurred that being employed full-time and attempting to create competing content doesn't work and is detrimental to the functioning of the original platform. Hoffa spoke on how the situation affected him and his disappointment that even with confirmation that what they claimed was untrue, they continued to perpetuate the lie.
