The American Dream Has Died. It's Time For a New One.

In this solo episode, I share with you some ideas from my upcoming book.
We dive into the evolving economic landscape, discussing how the cost of living has steadily increased while wages have struggled to keep pace. We explore the growing burden of student loans and how work dynamics have shifted across generations. The discussion also touches on the balance between capitalism and creativity, questioning whether the traditional American Dream still holds relevance today.
We then explore how technology has become a powerful tool for enhancing creativity, allowing individuals to leverage various aspects of their lives more effectively. The conversation concludes with the importance of aligning personal choices with core values, emphasizing the potential for technology to empower individuals to live more authentically and creatively in the face of economic challenges.
