Have you ever been ghosted? Are you guilty of ghosting?

In this episode of King Moves, Ethan and Justin call out the silent killer of business momentum: lack of responsiveness.

Your ability—or failure—to reply sends a message louder than your words. It’s not just about missed messages; it’s about missed respect, missed opportunities, and missed growth.

Responsiveness is polite and it’s powerful.

When you ignore, delay, or disappear after promising to follow up, you’re telling people exactly how reliable you are. Ethan shares why he sees communication delays as red flags, and Justin explains how to train people on what to expect from you.

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who wants to protect their brand, reputation, and relationships.
