#114 - Burnt Peanut is a Recession Flag

from Free Idea · host Damian Setien

Hey — quick check-in like I’m telling a friend: I’ve been glued to this streamer Burnt Peanut as my weird little escape, and honestly his marathon streams feel like a recession signal — when everyone just wants cheap, dumb fun to forget the bills. Groceries shrinking, prices spiking, fast food turning into chemistry projects, and public transit still AWOL — I’m tightening the budget but trying to eat better, leaning on little comforts (and telehealth when needed). If you’re feeling the pinch too, you’re not alone — we’ll laugh about it, adjust, and keep going.

Sons and daughters of God are rising up and taking their seat! NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
