On this episode of Business Casual, hosts Daniel Litwin and Tyler Kern explore digital literacy curriculum, influencers in eSports, and the business impact behind the minimum wage.

Hear from Chief Learning Officer at CUE Jon Corippo, who joined us to break down the newest study from Bournemouth University that claims media studies should be mandatory in schools if the world wants a more digitally literate population. Corippo explained how to implement curriculum that tackles fake news, and how technology will play a supporting role.

Daniel takes a stab at the $15 minimum wage on a segment of American Made. The House of Representatives recently passed a bill to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025. Though the general public is in favor of a raise to $15, economists are split on the issue. What about businesses, though? What do they think of the potential raise, and how might it affect their bottom line? We showcase differing perspectives and try to draw some conclusions on how the current fair wage movement will change the world of business.

Tyler explores the growing opportunities for not only individuals but business in eSports. WIth 16-year old Kyle Giersdorf's big eSports win, where he collected $3 million of prize money for winning the first Fortnite World Cup, as well as Ninja's, one of the world’s most popular gamers', exclusive deal announcement with Microsoft’s streaming platform called Mixer, the case for eSports has never been stronger. Viewership numbers for these big events aren’t lost on brands who are looking to grab the attention of gamers for advertising purposes, and we look at attempts by brands to cash in on sponsorship opportunities.
