096: Behind Clown Repellent: The Rage, The Truth & The Reason

Jeremy Van Akerlaken, better known as Clown Repellent, has gone from relatively unknown to impossible to ignore in a matter of months. In this episode, we sit down with the man behind the name to unpack the rise to “infamy,” the heat that comes with having loud opinions, and why he believes woke culture has been used to justify or protect some genuinely ugly behaviour in recent years. It’s not a highlight reel... it’s a look at what drives the rage, what he thinks is true, and why he keeps stepping into the fire.

Before all of that, Jeremy was an entrepreneur who took an exit, and that reset gave him the space to rethink what he actually wanted to build next. We get into business, mindset, identity, and the shift from chasing wins on paper to chasing something that feels meaningful. He shares what surprised him most about putting his voice out there, and how relatability can open doors you never expected... for better and worse. It goes deeper than “hot takes.”

Mr Repellent tells stories of conversations with followers that go way beyond likes, views, and yelling at a camera... moments that hit hard, challenge assumptions, and show what’s really happening under the surface for a lot of everyday people.
