Ep 131 | #TrendyTuesday: Community College Enrollment Decline, Gen Z Travel, Remote Jobs Disappearing, TikTok is Changing the Music Industry

Ravi, Rikki, and newcomer Micky jump into #TrendyTuesday, looking at four trends shaping our world. First, the trio talk about community college enrollment, which has been plummeting over the past decade. What’s behind the drop? And should we invest in reversing it? Then the group pivots to our podcast’s most talked about generation: GenZ. Zoomers are traveling in record numbers compared to their peer generations, and many are swiping their credit cards to do it. Are these travel experiences worth the debt? Then we answer a pressing question about the future of remote jobs, which were all the rage during the pandemic (for obvious reasons). But are they still viable for businesses? We figure out the answers (remotely). Finally, we take on the music industry, which has already gone through so many disruptions over the past two decades. Will TikTok be the music distributor’s final boss?
