”But the fact remains, with all the changes that have happened in our lifetime—whether we're “boomers,” “Gen Xers,” “Millennials,” “Gen Zers” or whatever comes next—one thing has never changed nor will it ever change, and that is the amount of time we all have.” That's a quote from Hyrum Smith's book, The 3 Gaps: Are You Making A Difference You can subscribe to this podcast on: Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Areas of Focus: The Foundation Of All Solid Productivity Systems.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. One thing you may have noticed is that there are many things we have to or want to do, yet there never seems to be enough time to do them. You are not alone. Everyone feels this either all the time or at least some of the time. The reason is that it's true. There will always be more to do than time available to do it. This means we should approach the problem from a different angle. Traditionally, people have spent extra hours trying to catch up. Working late or even working the weekend. Yet, is throwing more time at the issue the best solution? I don't think so. We live one life. Our work is just one part of that life. If you work an average forty-hour week, your work only accounts for around 25% of your time. Yet, for many people, their work causes 80% or more of their stress. This week, I want to share some ideas and a paradigm shift in how you think about the tasks you have to do and the time you have available. It's a simple shift, but one that will reframe your relationship with time and ultimately give you more time for the things you want time for. So, without further ado, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Marcos. Marcos asks, Hi Carl, I struggle to keep up with all the tasks in my task manager. Most days feel like I am adding more tasks than I complete, and my inbox is now full. Todoist won't allow me to add any more. How do you cope with an ever-growing list of things to do? Hi Marcos, thank you for your question. There could be a number of reasons for this. One of the most common ones is moving any email you need to respond to into your task manager's inbox. You don't need to do that. Instead, you can create a folder in your email system and call it “Action This Day”. Then, any email you need to act on—reply, read, forward, etc. You place it there. Then, add a recurring task in your task manager that tells you to “clear my Action This Day folder”. That will remove many tasks from your task manager. It will also begin the process of changing the way you think about things to do and the time you have available to do them. It's no longer about how many emails you must reply to; it's about when you will work on your emails. Other things that can clog up a task manager are articles and newsletters to read, YouTube videos to watch and books to buy. All good stuff, but since so many of these are non-urgent, you would be better putting them in a dedicated note in your notes app. That way, when you do have time to read or watch these, you can open up your notes app and choose something. I covered this recently in one of my YouTube videos. There is information we like to collect—articles, YouTube videos, etc., often the easiest thing to do is to add this information to your task manager's inbox. After all, reading or watching them is something to do. Yet, the worst place to collect these items is your task manager. There's no urgency to read or watch these. We can do it anytime. Perhaps we're waiting at the doctor's office, or, in my case, for my wife somewhere. In these situations, I can open my notes app and, depending on my mood, choose between reading or watching something—my notes are always on my phone. So, Marcos, one of the first things you can do is to remove all these non-urgent informational items from your task manager and move them to your notes app. I would add that a great place to read articles is something like Instapaper or Read. Both of these apps are designed to collect newsletters and articles. Using tools like these gives you a central place to read your saved articles. It's like having your personalised curated news feed. The only addition is finding a regular time to read what you collect. The problem with keeping these in your task manager is that you're not reading them. Moving them out of your task manager and into a read-later app is just shuffling things around if you are not committing to a daily reading time. When I commuted to work each day, I read these articles on bus and train journeys. This prevented me from getting sucked into the negative news cycle and clickbait headlines. My news feed was free of junk and algorithmically generated stuff I was no longer interested in. And there is another tip for managing the things we have to do. Having a set time each day for doing the things we want to do. The challenge we all face today is that everything is so convenient; we can pretty much do anything at any time. You can set up a bank account, apply for a credit card, and even buy a car online today. You don't have to leave the comfort of your own home. In the past, if we wanted to open a bank account or buy a new car, we would have to go to a specific place. Going to these places meant we needed to schedule time to go. I remember when I was in car sales and couples would come in either in the evening or at weekends. During the weekday, things were relatively quiet for us. Time spent with a customer would typically be around an hour or two. So the customer had to go to a showroom intentionally, talk to a human being and in most cases test drive a car. Now, if you can do almost anything at any time from anywhere, the challenge becomes, what do you do now? If you are task counting, you're putting yourself into an impossible situation. The number of tasks you have to do is not within your control. You do not have control over what your boss or customers will ask you to do today. You don't have much control over what your partner or family members may ask you to do. You also don't know when they will ask you to do something. By focusing on what you have to do, you're setting yourself up for overwhelm. Instead, you will find focusing on when you will do something a much more realistic approach. Not only do you put yourself back in control, you will also be working within a realistic system. This system is called time-based productivity, and it's been around for a very long time. I've tracked it back to 1918 with the Ivy Lee Method. That's where you wrote down the six things you want to get done the next day, and when the day began, you started with the first item and worked your way down the list until the end of your work day. Anything you did not get done would be moved to the list for tomorrow. It's simple and based on a realistic evaluation of how much you could get done in a day. From there, it advanced throughout the century to when we began using things like the Franklin Planner. Something went wrong in the early 2000s. Somewhere along the line, we stopped calculating how much time we had available to do things and began focusing on the things themselves. Well, that's an impossible situation. You'll always have stuff to do. If you focus on all that stuff, you're going to feel anxiety, stress and overwhelm. If you want to stop the struggle Marcos, then returning to a time-based system will do that for you. The first step is to look at all the tasks you have to do and categorise them. You will have admin and communication tasks—we all do. Then there will be tasks related to your specific work. If you work with clients, then there will be client work to do. If you work in management, there will be management duties you will need to perform. Once you know what your categories are, you can then allocate specific time for doing those categories of work. Let me give you an example of this with email. Imagine you get 150 emails a day. Of those, around thirty require you to take action. When you process your email, you move those actionable emails into your action this day folder, and either delete or archive the rest. This leaves you with thirty emails that require some action from you. If you were to allocate an hour each day for dealing with your actionable emails, you will always have time to respond to your email. Sure, some days you may not be able to clear them all. However, if you consistently spend an hour a day on these, you will never develop a significant backlog. Most days you will be ahead; other days you might be slightly behind. But you won't feel it's out of control. You can also apply this to your admin tasks. Admin tasks have a habit of building up over time because they are generally low in urgency and importance. If you were to give yourself thirty minutes or so each day for admin tasks, you would find that no backlog is building up, and you are, for the most part, on top of things. You can do the same for your client work. If part of your responsibilities is to send out proposals to customers, then allocating some time each day for doing this means all you need to do is refer to a list of proposals to write, and for that allocated time, you do as many as you can. That list may be in a CRM system or a simple note in your notes app. Your calendar will tell you that it's time to write proposals. You then go to your list of proposals to write, and start. This way, you won't need to use your task manager. I do this with my coaching clients. Every day, I allocate an hour to writing feedback for each client. The list of feedback to write is in Evernote. Some days, there will be six or seven pieces of feedback to write, and other days, perhaps only two or three. I know I can write around three pieces of feedback in an hour. This means if I do this every day, nobody is likely to be waiting more than 48 hours for their feedback. I'm not focused on how many pieces of feedback I have to write. All I am focused on is writing the feedback in the hour I have to write it. I will write as many as I can. No pressure. Just begin with the oldest and carry on down the list. And that, in a nutshell, is what time-based productivity is all about. It's not about how much you have to do. It's about how much time you have available to do the work you have to do. If you have enormous backlogs now, you may need to increase the time you allocate to specific work periods for a little while. That actually helps because it means you are learning new habits and processes for getting the work done, which ultimately speeds you up over time. So there you go, Marcos. I hope that has helped. Take a look at your task manager. Remove individual emails and stuff to read or watch. Then in Todoist, use the labels to categorise your work and use those categories to protect time in your calendar to do the work. Be consistent with this and you will soon find that the overwhelm and struggle diminish. Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

It's Thursday, June 19th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Christian Indonesian boy died after Muslim students beat him An eight-year-old Christian boy died in Indonesia from a ruptured appendix on May 26th. This came days after older Muslim students beat him severely, sending him to the hospital. Khristopel Butarbutar faced bullying for his faith leading up to his death. Morning Star News reports his father said, “A week before, he had been bullied a lot. The perpetrators speak about his ethnicity, his religion.” Sadly, bullying at schools in Indonesia is escalating. There were 1,478 cases in 2023, up from 119 cases in 2020. Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.” United Kingdom decriminalized abortion up to birth The U.K. House of Commons voted Tuesday to effectively decriminalize abortion up to birth in England and Wales. The amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill ends the prosecution of women for getting an abortion at any stage of pregnancy. The measure must also pass in the House of Lords. Catherine Robinson with Right To Life UK said, “This is the first time this extreme abortion amendment has been debated in the House of Commons, and there has been no consultation with the public on this seismic law change. We will be fighting this amendment at every stage in the [House of] Lords.” Supreme Court upholds state's right to ban transgender surgeries for kids In the United States, the Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law yesterday that protects minors from transgender drugs and surgeries. The high court ruled 6-3 in the case. The liberal dissenters were Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan. and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Chief Justice John Roberts, who authored the majority opinion, wrote that the issue should be decided by the state. He said, “Having concluded that [the law] does not [violate the equal protection clause], we leave questions regarding its policy to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process.” The ruling will also support 26 other states with similar laws to protect children from transgender drugs and surgeries. Kraft/Heinz will cut artificial dyes from food The Kraft Heinz Company announced Tuesday it will cut artificial dyes from its U.S. food products by 2027. This comes after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced measures in April to phase out petroleum-based synthetic dyes from the nation's food supply. U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said, “For too long, some food producers have been feeding Americans petroleum-based chemicals without their knowledge or consent. … That era is coming to an end.” Daily Bible readers thrive more than non-daily Bible readers The American Bible Society released the third chapter of its State of the Bible USA 2025 report. The survey used the Human Flourishing Index from Harvard University which measures six domains of life, including satisfaction, health, purpose, character, and social relationships. The report found people who read the Bible every day scored 7.9 out of 10 on the index compared to 6.8 for those who never read the Bible. Also, younger generations tend to have the lowest levels of flourishing. However, both Gen Zers and Millennials who engage regularly with Scripture scored an impressive average of 8.1 on the index. Psalm 119:105 says, “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Old Nordic letters carved into Canadian bedrock spell the Lord's Prayer Archaeologists recently announced the meaning of centuries-old Nordic runes, or alphabet letters, that were carved into the Canadian bedrock, reports CBC News. Ryan Primrose, the director of the Ontario Centre for Archaeological Education, has been studying the letters since their discovery in 2018. He believes they were written by Swedes who were hired to work at trading posts in the Canadian wilderness in the 1800s. The 255 characters of Nordic runes or alphabet actually spell out the words of the Lord's Prayer in Swedish. They appear to come from a 1611 runic version of the prayer. The runes cover a square of about four feet by five feet and probably took weeks to carve. Worldview listeners in Texas and California share their hearts I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email. You can share your thoughts — along with your full name, city and state — and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Christy Quinn in Grapevine, Texas said, “We love listening to The Worldview in 5 Minutes as a family. My 10-year-old says she enjoys hearing about Christians around the world, what they are doing to God's glory and how the world treats them. I enjoy the Biblical perspective on current events and politics including those sound bites. The intro music and your closing ‘Seize the day for Jesus Christ' is a hit. My kids are excited to listen.” Ben Duhem in Eureka, California said, “The Worldview helps my wife and I stay on the same page about certain topics and geopolitical events. I read dozens of articles every day and am extremely well-informed about current events, but I mostly carry the burden alone. “I like to keep my wife and children in somewhat of a protective bubble to maintain their innocence, joy, and hope. When I share too much of what I read, my wife becomes very disheartened. She is busy homeschooling, gardening, cooking, and cleaning, all day, every day. So, she does not have time to read the news or process the political analysis that I used to try to distill for her. “The Worldview is the one source of news she tries to make time for each day. It's short and sweet. And she receives inspiration from the scriptures and calls to join in prayer. So, it's the one source of news that she asks me about and we discuss and pray about together. It helps us stay bonded.” 3 Worldview listeners gave $849 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $92,625 goal by this Friday, June 20th to fund three-quarters of The Worldview newscast's annual budget for our 6-member team, 3 listeners stepped up to the plate. We are so grateful for Michele in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, Canada who gave $25, Richard in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who gave $300, and Providence Associates in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia which gave $524. Those 3 Worldview listeners gave a total of $849. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.

In this episode, YPulse's MaryLeigh Bliss shares fresh insights from two new reports on Gen Z and Millennial behavior around AI and social media. The conversation explores surprising declines in major platform use, the rise of smaller, community-driven apps, and how young people are embracing AI as a helpful tool rather than a threat. It's a revealing look at what's driving the next wave of digital habits.
If you are unaware of how modern technology and city infrastructure has been designed to completely surveil every citizen and permanently store your digital profile on the blockchain, you'll want to watch this episode. It's not just Palantir, which has become the all-seeing-eye that watches over everything. It's Ripple and Bitcoin, the Gen X's and Millennials as well as all the preceding technology companies that have been funded by 3 letter organizations that are building the surveillance grid around us. It's dizzying to witness if you can see what's happening with clarity.But as always, I propose the best solutions are not to become a rebel and fight the system. It's actually to see that narrow path between fighting and surrendering that is available to you. It's not about the exact circumstances you find yourself in but how you orient your mind and heart in the face of massive resistance.As always, the key is you and the time to awaken to this truth is now. Watch with optimism that you are bigger than any "outside" threat ever could be.

Her joy, energy, and positivity are contagious!We cover:Finding purpose beyond performanceThe brutal reality of Lyme diseaseHow to teach yourself resilienceLearning through curve balls and letting go of “the plan”The emotional arc from fear to hopeTools and practices that help during life's hardest momentsWhy passion matters when life doesn't go as expected
From Hollywood Hits to Finding Happy: Peter Samuelson's Mission to Lift Others Peter Samuelson could have stayed in Hollywood, producing box-office hits like Revenge of the Nerds and The Return of the Pink Panther. Instead, he utilized his storytelling and leadership skills to rewrite the script of his life, founding seven nonprofits that empower society's most overlooked individuals, including those in foster care. In this inspiring episode, Peter reveals the decisive moments that shaped him, like a life-changing nudge from a 10th-grade teacher and his father's unwavering belief in education. We explore his journey from film sets to social impact, from co-founding the Starlight Children's Foundation with Emma Samms and STARBRIGHT World with Steven Spielberg, to building First Star, a program that sends 90% of foster teens to college. Peter also shares the wisdom behind his new book, Finding Happy, a field guide for Gen Z and Millennials navigating life's complexities. Packed with insight, humour, and “madcap adventures,” it's a reminder that long-term happiness isn't about fame or fortune—it's about helping others. If you're looking for hope, purpose, and 'finding happy', don't miss this conversation. Andrea Barrack returns to the show to talk about the role organizations can play to support individuals and communities.

The young people, it seems, are usually to blame. In 1998, The New York Times said, “Young people, the 21- to 29-year-olds, are turning away from wine…For the $13-billion-a-year wine industry, the loss of so many potential consumers couldn't come at a worse time.” In 2016, The New York Post ran a headline, “Millennials are ruining the American wine industry.” Fast-forward to the current generational panic in the wine industry—this time, regarding the 13- to 29-year-olds that make up Generation Z. The wine industry is currently facing a mountain of struggles, including shifting consumer preferences, oversupply in many regions, rising costs and tariffs along with a growing—and loud—anti-alcohol movement. Meanwhile, older generations, Baby Boomers specifically, are pulling back from their previous levels of wine consumption. So, why are the kids—half of whom are underage—getting all the blame yet again? We invited Wine Enthusiast Contributor Kate Dingwall, who has been covering all the latest Gen Z research, along with Jess Druery, the Gen Z founder of playful wine brand Whiny Baby, onto the podcast to discuss what's actually going on with young people and wine.

Épisode 1334 : La saison des festivals est lancée et avec elle les activations de marques immersives et personnalisées !Et de ces marques qui ne se contentent plus d'un stand : elles veulent créer des expériences.À l'heure où les marques cherchent à pousser ce curseur de l'expérience et de la création de contenu, les événements musicaux sont le terrain de jeu idéal pour tester, innover mais aussi rencontrer le public. —Les festivals, nouveau terrain de jeu préféré des marquesPendant longtemps, activer une marque sur un festival, c'était une bâche, un totem, un gobelet.Mais ça, c'était avant.Aujourd'hui, les marques veulent faire vivre une expérience.Elles veulent capturer l'attention du public festivalier.Et surtout, elles veulent donner envie de partager.Il n'existe pas de statistique officielle unique sur le nombre exact de publications par festivalier et par événement, mais les observations et analyses du secteur indiquent qu'un festivalier publie généralement entre 5 et 15 contenus sur les réseaux sociaux au cours d'un festival.Côté annonceur, c'est tout bénéf' : de l'UGC, du earned media et une proximité émotionnelle avec le public.—L'immersion comme levier d'engagementPlus l'activation est sensorielle, plus elle performe.La vue, l'ouïe, l'odorat, le toucher, le goût : tout y passe.Espaces expérientiels :Aperol Spritz Piazza à Coachella : Aperol a conçu une « piazza » italienne photogénique avec un tramway de marque, des jeux interactifs et un dôme photo, créant un lieu de rencontre convivial et hautement partageable sur les réseaux sociaux—Mesurer le ROI d'une activation immersiveLes marques ne s'arrêtent plus à la visibilité.Elles veulent des chiffres.Et l'immersif peut en fournir :nombre de participants / taux de partage / mentions sociales / trafic redirigé vers leurs canaux—Parfois le ROI se mesure en chiffre d'affairePlusieurs festivals de musique intègrent désormais des espaces dédiés au shopping, offrant ainsi aux festivaliers une expérience lifestyle complète mêlant musique, mode, art et consommation responsable.

Cette année Izipizi était présent avec un stand sur lequel vosu pouviez acheter vois lunettes de soleil.—Pourquoi ça marche ?Parce que c'est émotionnel.Parce que c'est Instagrammable.Et parce que ça fait vivre une marque dans la vraie vie.C'est aussi une réponse à une attente générationnelle.Les GenZ valorisent l'expérience plus que le produit.Selon EventTrack, 74% des Millennials préfèrent dépenser pour une expérience que pour un bien matériel.Retrouvez toutes les notes de l'épisode sur www.lesuperdaily.com ! . . .

As a leader, how can you tackle disengagement on your team? Employee engagement is in crisis, and it's costing more than just morale. According to Gallup, only 31% of the American workforce is engaged at work, while a staggering 17% are actively disengaged—cynical, vocal, and dragging others down with them. This outlook takes a toll on worker mental health, and it's also a full-blown productivity problem with real financial consequences.In this episode, I unpack the findings of Gallup's Q12 engagement survey and look at how leaders and managers can use it as a blueprint for creating meaningful, motivating work environments. From setting clear expectations to building genuine connections and offering real opportunities for growth, we explore the practical ways to shift your team's momentum.Take a deeper look at what the numbers say about leading your most impactful team:What the generational divide in employee engagement might reveal;Why it's not as simple as blaming remote work for all the problems;How expectations create the foundation for a more engaged workforce.Related Links:Episode 265, How to Set Clear Expectations As a Leader - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode265Episode 376, How to Make Performance Reviews More Effective as a Manager - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode376Episode 483, Can You Be Friends At Work? - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode483Gallup, U.S. Employee Engagement Sinks to 10-Year Low - https://www.gallup.com/workplace/654911/employee-engagement-sinks-year-low.aspxGallup 2025 State of the Global Workplace Report - https://www.gallup.com/workplace/349484/state-of-the-global-workplace.aspxGallup, The Q12 Employee Engagement Survey - https://www.gallup.com/q12-employee-engagement-survey/LEVEL UP: a Leadership Accelerator for Women on the Rise - https://www.bossedup.org/levelupBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/
We usually talk about tech as a problem — screens, addiction, distraction — but what if it could actually make family life better? In this episode, Dr Justin Coulson chats with two innovative parents, Matt and Brianna Donaldson, about how they're using smart technology to support routines, reduce stress, and create more quality time together. From bedtime battles to TV tantrums, discover how smart lights, switches, and routines can bring more peace and predictability to your home — no tech degree required! KEY POINTS: Around 80% of Millennial and Gen Z parents are now using smart home tech to manage home life. Smart devices (like lights, switches, and TVs) can automate routines to reduce friction — especially around bedtime. Tech can enhance a child’s autonomy and transitions (e.g. lights dimming, music playing) without constant parental prompting. Boundaries and structure are still essential — even in tech-forward homes. It’s not about more tech, but intentional tech that supports family connection and calm. You don’t have to spend thousands: starting with a $20 smart switch can begin transforming routines. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “It’s not Mum or Dad turning off the TV — it’s the house. The structure is doing the heavy lifting.” — Dr Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED: Samsung SmartThings App Smart Switches (available from retailers like JB Hi-Fi or Kmart) Bluey and the Tony Box (a screen-free audio player for kids) The Parenting Revolution – by Dr Justin Coulson happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Start small. Try one smart light or switch in a high-impact area like the bedroom. Automate transitions. Use tech cues (e.g. dim lights + calming music) to support routines like bedtime. Keep boundaries clear. Set firm, predictable limits around tech use — especially screens. Use tech to reclaim time. Automate cleaning (like smart vacuums) or other routines to free up family time. Let the “house be the boss.” Reduce conflict by letting routines and automation do the talking. Prioritise presence. Tech should serve family life, not steal from it.

We say we want more clarity from God, more detail in Scripture, more proof to believe. But what if we're starving, not because God hasn't spoken or provided enough evidence but because we haven't listened? This episode challenges the idea that we need “more” and instead asks: What are we doing with what we've already been given? You'll be reminded that God has spoken, his Word is enough, and faith grows by trusting what's already been shown, not by demanding more signs.John 20:30,311 John 4:81 Corinthians 13:4-7John 3:16Acts 8:12-24John 8:1-11Exodus 31:18Psalm 119:105Romans 15:42 Timothy 3:16,17John 20:24-291 Timothy 2:4-6You can now also WATCH C.L.!

While established institutions offer stability and financial strength, they must overcome perceptions of being stodgy, complex and disconnected from the digital fluency that defines Gen Z and Millennial lifestyles. Building connections with this demographic isn't simply about launching another banking app or redesigning branches – it's about reimagining how a legacy institution can demonstrate relevance and value when financial decisions are increasingly made with a swipe. As part of the Executive Leadership Series, sponsored by Naehas and recorded live at the Financial Brand Forum, we sat down with Lamont Young, EVP, Head of Digital and Omni Channel Banking.

In this episode of Millennial vs. Machine, we're unpacking two silent killers of real estate success—the kind of missteps that can sneak up on even the most well-meaning agents.Whether you're just starting out or you're a few years deep in the game, these pitfalls can quietly sabotage your deals, your client relationships, and your long-term growth.

Diese Woche beginnt ernst: Ich spreche über den tragischen Amoklauf in Graz, wie mich die Nachricht getroffen hat, was sie in mir ausgelöst hat und warum ich danach drei Tage lang keine Sondersendung mehr verkraftet habe. Danach wird's etwas leichter (und leicht beschwipst), denn ich war auf der Wiener Regenbogenparade, in einem Hauch von Nichts und mit einem Liter Bier intus. Ich erzähle von unangenehmen Selfie-Begegnungen, wildem Erkanntwerden und der bittersüßen Tatsache, dass niemand diese Fotos je postet.Zum Schluss nostalgisiere ich über meine Millennial-Jugend: ein Leben ohne WLAN, mit Digicam, Club Mate und einem Gefühl von echtem, ungefiltertem Internet. Und ich frage mich: Können wir dieses Unbothered-Gefühl von Dakota Johnson auch ohne Promi-Eltern und Mid-Century-Bungalow zurückerobern?https://www.patreon.com/c/MichiBuchingerhttps://on.orf.at/video/14280351/michi-buchinger-ein-bisschen-hass-muss-sein

Katie Gatti Tassin had the job, the paycheck, and the potential. But two weeks after every payday, she was broke again. And that's when she realized: something had to change. What started as a personal audit of her spending (her beauty budget was 10% of her income!) turned into Money with Katie, a financial education platform that's now helping millions of women take control of their money and retire on their own terms. We're talking with Katie about her new book, Rich Girl Nation: Taking Control of Our Financial Futures, and her mission to help women, especially Gen Z and young Millennials, rethink the traditional rules of work, wealth, and independence. … Does more financial confidence sound good to you, then you might want to try:
This week, Kate tries a tri-deep dive connecting Addison Rae's evolution, Y2K's one-hit wonders, and the overlap of both TRL and Tiktok's pop generations. Through Addison's candid interviews about stepping away from constant content creation, Kate explores how the machine that once discarded the forgotten pop girls of the early 2000s is long gone... or is it? Kate argues that while social media promised to democratize fame, it's actually created a more insidious system where creators internalize the disposability that labels and entertainment gatekeepers used to impose, making the case that Addison Rae represents a new model of how to game the system back.Plus: Relax, Hailey Bieber isn't a billionaire (yet), Kylie's boob job transparency, S Club 7's tragic economics, YM magazine archaeology, and why we need to stop treating one-hit wonders like cautionary tales when they were actually victims of an assembly line designed to churn through young women for profit.
