One Percent Better (Bonus) | Clout Isn’t Currency
Thu Jan 29 2026
In this bonus episode of One Percent Better, comedian Daphnique joins the conversation for a wide-ranging, unfiltered discussion about visibility, value, and what actually sustains a career in today’s attention-driven world.
What starts with humor and viral culture quickly evolves into a deeper breakdown of clout versus competence, fake transparency, and why being seen doesn’t always mean being valuable. Daphnique shares her journey from the early Vine era to stand-up comedy, explaining why she stopped chasing platforms and focused on building real skill — and how that decision created long-term leverage.
The group also dives into:
Why clout doesn’t guarantee longevity
How people perform success without building substance
The double standard women face in comedy and public expression
Why “potential” isn’t enough without execution
The difference between resources being available and people being ready
How skill, usefulness, and standards separate those who last from those who fade
Throughout the episode, one truth keeps surfacing: attention may open doors, but value keeps them open.
This bonus conversation blends humor, honesty, and real-world insight — reminding listeners that relevance isn’t built through performance alone, but through consistency, skill, and substance.
