This week's story is really a "both sides now" moment. These costly workshops or "master classes" have been all over my social media lately and they are very dangerous to the category I love. I want to make some content that you can share with a friend or anyone you know that has seen, considered, or maybe even purchased one of these workshops. Consider this story a cautionary tale of what happens when social media can become dangerous and even predatory.
