A pair of podcasters pandering to younger generations for clicks. All of society, always pandering to the youth. I don't care about the youth. They get far too much attention. It's not good for them.

@joshuamatheson6411 yeah I felt that tension but I think it’s a fine line of high energy vs aggression. They are both super passionate which makes for great viewing. Thankfully they are both respectful of one another. I wish political debates were more like this. In fact I wish one of them would be in politics but sadly the politics career path is not an attractive road for most intelligent well balanced people. The whole political system is pretty broken.

The main thing here is they heavily disagree to the point of aggressively wanting to get what they want but they BOTH want the same end result so they really aren't in conflict. The reality is that they are both right, we need a shift on both front and as the middle class we need to not wholly trust either of them to do it right. Set the two entities to hold each other accountable, business vs gov. They shouldn't be on the same side like they are now

Really enjoyed their dynamic. What a great duo and podcast. There are 3 layers to every problem: do we agree on the symptoms of the problem, do we agree on the root cause, do we agree on the solutions. They are in agreement more than disagreement. The central theme for solution between the both of them is humanity's ability to make sacrifices for the greater good. They are both optimistic but with different groups. I'm really trying to be optimistic but it is quite difficult for either corporations or government. Out of 7 companies I've worked for, only 1 truly put their money where their mouth is for social responsibility. As for the government, we just voted in DJT, need I say more. Fewer and fewer people make decisions for the greater good. Fewer and fewer people are willing to make sacrifices (for all aspects of life, work, marriage, friendships, your neighbors, etc). It's all me, me, me. Social media and AI is only make this worse. We are increasingly lonely, isolated, and self absorbed. So I agree on a tax on LLM computing to fund energy conservation innovation, a tax on social media companies and ads on social media to fund mental health programs, a tax on UPF to fund physical health programs, somehow tax airlines and cars to fund better public transportation infrastructure, etc. But even if we get brilliant economists and policy makers to come up with the best imperfect solution, will this ever pass? Probably not. Will Meta donate 0.1% of it's annual revenue each year which is ~ $100 million to mental health programs for teens and young adults? Probably not. We're just going around in a circle. But I believe it only takes a few leaders to do the right thing to start reversing the trajectory in our (collective) favor. But who will it be? What leaders will step up to the plate to do the hard but right thing against their best interests but for the greater good? I don't think it's DJT nor Elon Musk. So my question to Simon and Scott is who do they think these leaders are in both the private and public sectors? We need a call to action not for everyone but to those leaders.

I've shared this link with them hoping they'll listen to it so we can discuss their takes. Thank you for doing this, gentlemen.

Scott needs more of Simon’s smile. Simon needs more of Scott’s sarcasm. Maybe they’ll forge a union of thought that takes immediate action to produce that kinder gentler generation of compassionate capitalists and sincere philanthropists. Meanwhile, we small town middle class moderate thinking peace lovers are just trying to pay the rent. Thanks guys. Y’all are genius thinkers. Hope your ideas work! ✨

That’s just it. He’s not a sincere philanthropist. He admits he donates money not cause he cares or is altruistic but because it makes him feel better. I appreciate that fact that he’s not lying about it. But then he lies about politics. He’s like Trump should be in jail but then doesn’t call out democrats for electing Biden when he clearly had dementia even before he was elected. If he was sincere he would have pushed or said Bernie sanders should run for office! Like seriously I would have considered Bernie cause I knew Biden was mentally gone and a puppet. Bernie is mentally sound.

2 years out of College my generation got hit with Great Recession ‘08. Took me 10 years working 2 or 3 jobs/gigs to save enough to buy a home then I lost job ‘20 COVID and even though I found employment within a year, with a fam4 🏡 all my savings wiped gone. I know I’m not the only one in my 40s having to rebuild that wealth right along side Gen-Z.

Millennials got it worst in terms of previous generations...except, we did not have major wars. However, economy did not work on our favour at all, baby boomers were strongly lucky. I think gen Z understood some things better in terms of money and how to make it and sooner than us which seems to be a benefit for the future...but not sure what future holds. Maybe AI will mess all up. The good thing about being millennials is that we are in between, we still understand the past and we lived the beginning of the future, technology an so on, so we also connect with new generations. I do not agree the way this podcast ends up making money the centre of life, but is a reality that we need to have enough to not have to worry, and that is something Millennials have struggled from the start.

40's here too. After '08 I managed to rebuild again after 10 years too! However Covid finally ended me. Lost all my savings and have not been able to recover from it. Wages are lower and everything is more expensive. Decided not to have kids, as I can barely afford to survive myself.

I'm a little younger and was just starting to go to college when the great recession happened in 08. I did mostly everything right and was on the pathway to buying my first home when I lost my job in 2017 and started my current one that has a lower income. I did quite well during COVID, but I feel the financial pain now due to seeing my pay move closer to minimum wage than going up.

I enjoyed this conversation but I found it frustrating at times. I think Scott completely missed Simon's point at 58:40 (people are pushing so hard to make their number [nevermind that everyone's number is going to be different...in Scott's case it was 9 figures, in my case, 7 figures] that it's at the cost of each other). I have absolutely seen people justify atrocious behavior under the assumption that after hitting some sort of milestones, they would be done. Simon's example of justifying laying people off to hit a number is salient at the moment and it absolutely blew my mind that Scott dismissed that as "not true" when less than ten minutes ago at 53:15 he talks about how on his journey to making 9 figures, he saw people in terms of two bubbles: how much money they made, and how much money they were adding, and if what they made was larger he'd fire them. This is exactly what Simon was talking about. A dehumanizing approach to "ruthless capitalism" as Scott puts it. And that's what got him to 9 figures. It's easy to be generous when you have that much excess. It's another thing entirely when you don't and manage to grow a business, while simultaneously treating people right. It's just very clear that Scott wasn't really listening or reflecting on what was being said.

I am the oldest of a triplet of brothers and I can assure you, brothers at the ages of 12 to 17 have their little conflicts and irritations, but now that we are at the ages of 20 to 25, we are friends, since we actually slowly get to know each other as our adult selves. And I believe its simply because we have compassionate parents who respect each of us the way we are.

Love the show. Scott Galloway's a big influence to me. I think we have to accept that any future programs (even one's like UBI, but also specifically legislation) should not be counted on, if the wealthy lobby to have provisions in place to opt themselves out of subsidizing the public's financial struggle. The Calvary is not coming. The next president, whoever he/she is, is not our messiah. Politics is not the new religion, and the Calvary is not coming. We all have to keep fighting to increase our worth. Bless those like Mr. Galloway, who pulls upward those around him.

Both men are advocating for time. Friendships, community, and relationships require time and presence. However, most jobs are hourly workers which require both time and presence to be paid, which limits people’s time to be present for community events, loving others, and friendships. Paying more is one solution that could allow for more time and presence.
