Be There in Five

This week, Kate dives into the recent 180 people have done in terms of their opinion of Gen Z. Now being labeled as activists, heroes, and vigilantes, it’s clear that on this pod we need to clarify that we’ve come a long way from Tide Pods and continue the conversation we started during the episode “We Need to Tok.” Beyond discussing a little more about the psychographic characteristics that define Gen Z and how they relate to Millennials, she also formally responds to Gen Z’s recent roasting of Millennials on Twitter & TikTok. Then, she dives into Gen Z’s political activism and role in the recent Trump rally, explains K-pop’s involvement with social causes and the power of leveraging their stan-dom for causes beyond boy bands, while also exploring the other side of the story as it relates to issues of racism within a fandom that’s largely being heralded for fighting racism. Enjoy!

This week, Kate starts with a few pop culture tangents and then ventures into her Delilah-inspired series where she answers random listener voicemails. This week, she covers topics from Rachel Hollis' divorce, to a Range Rover conspiracy, maid of honor speech writing, Real Housewives of Chicago, HomeGoods hand towels, advice when you're being pressured to get married, and more! Enjoy.

This week, Kate has Jessie Bernhardt on the podcast to discuss influence in the time of social injustice. Not only the response of influencers and the responsibility of having a platform, but also the importance of factoring in our own influence in our daily lives. They discuss the disparity of the response relative to other Black Lives Matter efforts, the responsibility of influencers in combatting social injustice, the importance of sharing, elevating (and tagging!) Black creators, a couple of the influencer scandals, and overall how we can be more inclusive in the workplace and in our daily lives.

Seriously, she's going to talk about this for two more hours? Yes, yes she is. This is a deep dive, after all. The first podcast on the Call Her Daddy podcast drama was released before we had ever heard from Alex, and now we have twice, and things have changed. Kate brought you into this mess and now she feels responsible for seeing you out of it. There's a lot to unpack that unfolded over the past week among Alex's Youtube video, Dave's barstool update, Alex's first episode solo, her final offer, and the Scooter Braun of it all. Beyond that, Kate spends the latter portion of the episode talking about why all of this matters, specifically why what Alex told us about Sofia's relationship matters, and talks through more lessons learned as she's dissected this complicated situation. It's never a waste of time to deep dive if we can learn something from it, and this is a case study that represents relevant business, friendship, and relationship scenarios we all find ourselves in all the time that are worth diving into. Enjoy!
