The flip side of the 'money mindset': the image that dismantles the message
A video about the mental attitude for attracting money has sparked a wave of criticism aimed not so much at the message as at the appearance of its star.

The scene is a classic in the personal development ecosystem: an influencer claims that "money loves fluidity and independence" while presenting a scruffy image.
