Eli Williams of Day One Agency joins the conversation to unpack findings from the agency's latest report, Gen Z: Life, Actually. The study challenges common assumptions about Gen Z and reveals a generation that's more multifaceted—and in some ways, more traditional—than many marketers assume.Through the lens of public relations and cultural insight, this episode explores how Gen Z is reshaping expectations around work, money, identity, and influence. Williams outlines three distinct cohorts within the generation and explains how their diverse values are already influencing the future of brand communication.Moderated by Fred Cook, the conversation addresses key questions, including:In what ways is Gen Z more similar to their parents than expected?How do their views on stability, risk, and tradition split across subgroups?Why does financial anxiety shape so many of their decisions?What should communicators understand about Gen Z's internal diversity?How can media literacy become a strategic asset in engaging Gen Z?Key Discussion HighlightsThe report identifies three mindsets within Gen Z:Neo-Traditionalists value stability and lean toward conservative idealsFluid Pragmatists take a cautious, balanced approach to major life decisionsInternet Age Explorers reject conventional paths in favor of experimentation and experienceMoney as a Central ConcernAcross all groups, financial uncertainty plays a central role in shaping priorities, spending, and life planning.A New Life TimelineUnlike previous generations, Gen Z is not in a hurry to pursue traditional milestones like marriage, homeownership, or long-term careers. Their timelines are fluid, self-defined, and experience-driven.The Implications for PRGen Z's complexity demands a more nuanced, culturally aware approach to communication. Understanding their values—and the differences within the generation—is key to long-term engagement.Media Literacy as a Core CompetencyGrowing up in the digital age, Gen Z is becoming increasingly adept at filtering content and questioning sources. Communicators must recognize that this generation does not take information at face value.Time markers00:00 — Understanding Gen Z: A New Perspective06:41 — The Three Cohorts of Gen Z12:09 — Fluid Pragmatists: The Middle Path17:37 — Internet Age Explorers: The Experimental Group25:18 — Navigating the Future of PR with Gen Z31:21 — Media Literacy and the Information Diet of Gen ZFind the report here:Gen Z: Life, Actually – Day One Agencyhttps://d1a.com/perspective/genz-life-actually A production of the USC Annenberg Center for Public Relations at the University of Southern California.

On this episode, host Chris Adkins speaks with Gerry Farrell, a seasoned expert with over two decades of experience in the CDMO space and current executive advisor at Kymanox. Their discussion explores three key areas of the evolving bioprocessing landscape: 1. The Evolution from Antibodies to Gene Therapy. How bioprocessing has grown increasingly complex from the relatively straightforward days of monoclonal antibody manufacturing to today's gene therapy challenges. Gerry highlights the critical importance of analytical development for early-stage companies and why having the right methods—not necessarily more methods—is crucial for success. 2. Economic Realities and CDMO Dynamics. Gerry offers perspectives on the current economic environment facing biotech, including investor sentiment and funding challenges. The discussion unpacks the paradox of some CDMOs expanding capacity while others close facilities, and explores the strategic considerations driving companies toward either in-house manufacturing or outsourcing. 3. Manufacturing Technologies and Future Trends. The episode delves into the ongoing debate between single-use and stainless steel manufacturing systems, with insights into why large-scale stainless steel facilities continue to dominate commercial antibody production. Gerry shares thoughts on emerging technologies, the potential impact of AI and machine learning on bioprocessing, and how sponsor companies can better leverage CDMO expertise to navigate these evolving landscapes. Resources and Links:Learn more about Kymanox: kymanox.comConnect with Kymanox on LinkedIn: Kymanox LinkedInAbout Kymanox:Kymanox has proven, collaborative, end-to-end solutions that help bring life science products to the market – and keep them there.

Donate to the critical aid campaign at http://btml.us/thinkingmuslimAfrica is a resource-rich continent with immense potential. When countries within the continent demonstrate good governance and sound economic judgment, they thrive. It is, of course, overly simplistic to discuss Africa as a monolith. Yet some regions, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, continue to grapple with debt, poverty, and civil conflict. This is why the continent remains the most underdeveloped, leading to a brain drain of its most talented individuals to more prosperous nations. To what extent has the legacy of colonialism, in both its historical and contemporary forms, contributed to these challenges? How do we evaluate its potential, and what about the Muslim population, which numbers around 437 million – almost half of the continent?To help us untangle and demystify Africa, we are honoured to have on The Thinking Muslim Professor Abdullah Ndiaye, an Assistant Professor of Economics at NYU Stern.

In Episode 90 of Trail Society, we sit down with Leela Srinivasan, the CEO of Parity Now, a pioneering platform that aims to close the gender income and opportunity gap in professional sports. Parity, founded in 2020, works with over 1,000 women athletes across 80+ sports, from archery to weightlifting, empowering athletes through impactful brand partnerships. Leela, a runner, mother, and passionate advocate for women's sports, brings her unique perspective to the conversation, exploring how her platform is reshaping the future of women's athletics. Her leadership at Parity is focused on tackling the financial inequities faced by female athletes, with an emphasis on securing meaningful sponsorships and creating long-term opportunities for women in sports. A key highlight of this episode is the release of Parity's groundbreaking research, "Beyond the Game: Exposing The Economic Realities of Professional Women Athletes". The study sheds light on the harsh financial realities faced by many female athletes, with findings such as 50% reporting a negative or zero net income, and 74% working another job to make ends meet. Leela discusses the contrast between the booming investment in women's sports leagues, like the NWSL and WNBA, and the ongoing struggles for athletes themselves. Despite these challenges, the research also highlights the potential for growth in women's sports, with consumers increasingly backing brands that support female athletes. Leela's insights into the disparity between league success and individual athlete earnings offer a sobering look at the financial landscape, while also providing a call to action for brands and fans to invest in women's sports to create lasting change.   Follow Leela on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leelasrinivasan/ Learn more or partner with Parity Now: https://paritynow.co/ Parity Report: https://20518965.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/20518965/Parity%20Athlete%20Survey%20Report_Dec2024.pdf Sponsors: This episode is brought to you by Freetrail @runfreetrail www.freetrail.com - subscribe and JOIN US IN SLACK & Our Title Sponsor is The Feed!!!

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop welcomes Swati Chaturvedi, CEO of Propel X, to explore the world of deep tech, frontier technology, and the forces shaping the future of human progress. Swati shares her decade-long journey in deep tech, reflecting on how the term evolved as a response to the "tech startup" boom, and discusses her focus on companies leveraging breakthroughs in science and engineering for humanity's advancement. The conversation touches on the role of government support, the power of hypothesis-free experimentation, and the critical importance of partnerships between startups and large corporations. They also discuss transformative technologies like AI, autonomous drones, bioinformatics, robotics, and the possibilities and perils of human augmentation. For more insights from Swati, visit Propel X at www.propelx.com or connect with her on LinkedIn, where she shares her thoughts on innovation, R&D, and the future of technology.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:16 Defining Deep Tech and Its Evolution03:06 Challenges and Philosophical Insights in Deep Tech07:07 AI's Role in Engineering and Bioinformatics14:22 Future Shock and Human Augmentation14:35 The Evolution of Science and Technology22:58 The Future of Work and Social Dynamics24:06 Exploring Sci-Fi Genres: Cyberpunk vs. Solarpunk25:25 Exploring Solar Punk and Human Problems26:01 The Promise and Limitations of Deep Tech26:39 Economic Realities of Technological Advancements27:16 Future Impact of Emerging Technologies28:58 Challenges in Ag Tech and Environmental Concerns29:30 Global Environmental Change and Human Activity33:53 The Role of Modeling in Predicting Climate Impacts36:22 Scientific Method and Industry Collaboration39:23 Government's Role in Early Stage Research42:34 Investment Strategies in Deep Tech46:27 Consumer and Corporate Markets for New Technologies49:12 Conclusion and Future DiscussionsKey InsightsThe Rise of Deep Tech as a Distinct Category: Swati Chaturvedi explains how the concept of "deep tech" emerged as a response to the overuse of the term "tech startup" during the heyday of consumer technology. Unlike simple software apps like photo-sharing or delivery platforms, deep tech focuses on companies leveraging scientific and engineering breakthroughs to solve fundamental human challenges. This includes innovations in fields like AI, robotics, life sciences, space technology, and advanced materials. Her 2014 blog post defining deep tech has since become a widely referenced resource in the field, signaling a shift in focus from digital consumer solutions to tangible, science-based advancements.The Role of Hypothesis-Free Experimentation: Traditional scientific research follows a hypothesis-driven approach, where scientists predict outcomes before testing. Swati highlights the transformative potential of "hypothesis-free" experimentation, where AI and machine learning allow for large-scale experimentation without predefined assumptions. This approach mirrors the randomness of evolution, enabling faster discovery of unexpected results. Companies like Helix are applying this method in drug discovery, where AI-driven processes identify new therapeutic compounds. This shift could significantly accelerate R&D timelines and reduce costs in fields like pharmaceuticals and materials science.The Power of Government Support in Early-Stage R&D: Swati emphasizes the essential role of government funding in de-risking early-stage research. Through programs like SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) grants, government agencies like the NSF (National Science Foundation) and the Department of Defense (DoD) fund exploratory research at universities and small businesses. These grants act as the "seed fund of America," investing billions annually into high-risk, high-reward projects. Companies that receive these grants often have their private sector investments matched by government dollars, providing significant leverage for investors and entrepreneurs. This public-private funding model enables startups to bridge the "valley of death" between research and commercialization.The Critical Role of Corporate-Startup Partnerships: Swati highlights the importance of partnerships between startups and established corporations, especially in deep tech. These joint development projects allow startups to access resources, validate their markets, and co-develop products with corporate customers. While some founders worry about protecting their intellectual property (IP), Swati believes that the benefits of corporate partnerships outweigh the risks. Corporate collaborations offer crucial early traction and revenue, helping startups de-risk their path to market. This is especially vital in sectors like healthcare, robotics, and clean energy, where the cost of developing and commercializing products is exceptionally high.AI as a Force for Human Augmentation: The episode explores AI's role as an augmentative force rather than a replacement for human intelligence. Swati notes that AI is best understood as a tool that allows humans to multiply their cognitive abilities—processing vast amounts of information, identifying patterns, and making faster connections. This augmentation goes beyond software, extending into physical augmentation with devices like robots and smart tools that help humans accomplish physical tasks. While AI-driven tools like ChatGPT may lead to job displacement, Swati sees it as a natural progression, requiring humans to upskill and shift to higher-value tasks.The Promise and Risks of Climate and Environmental Technologies: Swati identifies climate change and global environmental degradation as existential challenges that even the most advanced deep tech may struggle to address. Technologies like atmospheric water generation, carbon capture, and agtech are making strides, but she notes that they are not yet sufficient to solve global challenges like water scarcity, food security, and air pollution. Drawing from her personal experience with air pollution in India, Swati argues that we need to better price and internalize the "cost of the commons"—the shared environmental resources that are often depleted for private gain. Without a clear economic incentive to prevent environmental harm, she warns that climate issues will continue to escalate.The Future of Space Tech and Human Exploration: Swati expresses optimism about the commercialization of space technology, noting its growing impact on daily life. Technologies like satellite internet (e.g., Starlink) are already improving connectivity in remote areas worldwide. The use of satellites for earth observation, weather tracking, and resource management is also becoming essential for sectors like agriculture and disaster response. Looking ahead, Swati is bullish on the potential for space colonization on the moon and Mars, although she acknowledges the immense technical and ethical challenges involved. While space tech once felt like science fiction, companies like SpaceX have made it tangible and real.

In this episode, we break down the discrepancies between government data, media reporting, and today's economic realities.“Essentially, a third of all the jobs we thought we had added over that year are gone. They never existed. It's like taking four whole months of job creation and ripping them off the calendar,” says Antoni.Are the financial models no longer trustworthy?“We don't see the numbers quite matching up to a lot of the government statistics,” says Antoni. “And we get into some very perverse situations where the [Bureau of Labor Statistics] actually counts something as an increase in quality when, in fact, it's a decrease, and the consumer is paying more for it.”Antoni analyzes various indicators and inputs to determine what the real data reveals about the state of our economy.“Where I think this becomes scandalous is the fact that these statistical problems first became evident in the spring of 2022, so more than two years ago, and nothing has been done to correct them.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Buoyed by more record highs, investors have been reinvigorated by the prospect of interest rate cuts in September as inflation slows. But, as SoFi's Liz Young Thomas explains, interest rate cuts into a slowing economy are not always followed by great returns. Liz rejoins The Express to share her outlook for the second half of the year, and how to invest now to take advantage of sector rotation and economic headwinds. Plus, Wall Street strategists continue to raise their year-end price targets for the S&P 500 as earnings strengthen and market breadth finally opens up.

  In this week's episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer dives into the topic of political gaslighting, drawing from her recent op-ed that addresses the growing mistrust between American families and politicians. She dissects an instance involving Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Leader and Democrat from New York, who dismissed a poll suggesting Americans felt the economy was better under former President Trump's administration than the current one. Jennifer highlights the importance of recognizing and respecting the real concerns and feelings of American voters. Jennifer Nassour is a passionate commentator dedicated to shedding light on political realities and advocating for honest discourse between politicians and voters. As a single mother, she brings a unique perspective to the table, focusing on how political decisions impact everyday American families. With a knack for exposing truth and demanding accountability, Jennifer continuously strives to bridge the disconnect between Washington and the people it serves. "Democrats can tell me until they're blue in the face that the economy is outperforming expectations, but if I have to put off a vacation with my kids because my paycheck isn't going as far as it used to, that's a feeling that those numbers can't change." ~Jennifer Nassour Today on Political Contessa: Mistrust in politicians is growing due to perceived dishonesty and gaslighting. Political discourse often ignores or dismisses the genuine concerns of American families. A significant portion of Americans felt the economy was better under the Trump administration than the current Biden administration. Inflation has significantly increased since the COVID-19 pandemic, deeply affecting household finances. American families are more reliable indicators of economic performance than economic experts in Washington. Politicians' salaries, often funded by taxpayer dollars, further distance them from the everyday struggles of average Americans. The dismissive attitude of some political leaders is a primary reason for the ongoing fascination with Trump. Authenticity and genuine listening are crucial for politicians to reconnect with and truly represent their constituents.   Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa   Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of Political Contessa.
