What’s one belief you had at 16 or 18 that you look back on now and think, “Yeah… that was completely wrong”?

In our very first episode of Vigilante Voices, the three of us sit down for a raw, unscripted fireside chat that goes everywhere — in the best way possible.

We talk about the beliefs we were sold growing up, the reality Gen Z is facing today, and whether the traditional paths to success still make sense in a world shaped by inflation, AI, and rapidly changing opportunities.

Along the way, the conversation touches on:

Whether college is still worth it today

If Gen Z is actually worse off than previous generations — or just playing a different game

The motivation problem (and potential upside) Gen Z has right now

Inflation, unaffordability, and why everything feels harder

Why skills matter more than ever in the age of AI

Strange and unconventional ways people are making money today

Real marketing stories and lessons from building Vigilante Media

And yes… even things as ridiculous as farts in a jar

This episode isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about questioning the assumptions we grew up with — and figuring things out in real time.
