Description

In this episode of We Fixed It, You’re Welcome, the team dives deep into the phenomenon of meme stocks like GameStop, AMC, Hertz, and Bed Bath & Beyond. What started as internet-fueled rebellions against Wall Street turned into massive financial chaos — with instant millionaires, bankrupt companies, and confused everyday investors.

Guest: Matt Anthes – Digital strategist, social impact advocate, founder of Advocators.ai, mentor with Techstars and Stanford’s AI for Good, and builder of HooliCon.com.

Together with our guest, the panel explores:

✅ How online communities (Reddit, YouTube, Twitter) fueled the frenzy

✅ Why meme stocks mirror influencer marketing & viral movements

✅ The risks for small investors caught in FOMO

✅ What companies like GameStop & AMC should do when their stock surges artificially

✅ Corporate responsibility, employee impact, and investor psychology

✅ How investors & companies can harness meme stock energy for good

From GameStop’s wild ride to AMC’s billion-dollar lifeline, this episode unpacks what happens when culture collides with capital.
