Pour yourself a hot cup and pull up a seat—Dr. Melissa, Amber, and Zion are brewing up a whirlwind discussion that’s as relatable as it is thought-provoking! In this episode, our three hosts cross generational lines to spill the tea on one of today’s hottest topics: Does a college degree still unlock the American Dream, or have times—and success—changed?

Listen in as Dr. Melissa shares her journey from a dirt road upbringing to doctorate degrees, reflecting on when education was the non-negotiable ticket out of poverty. Amber dishes about her own first-generation college grind while watching her peers find entrepreneurial success without a degree. And Zion brings the Gen Z perspective, spotlighting the rise of creativity, content creation, and new career paths that sidestep the traditional college route.

Join the debate as the trio digs into legacy, opening doors for the next generation, and the very real question: is college worth the six-figure debt if your passion doesn’t require a degree? From trade schools to TikTok stars, from breaking generational curses to blazing new trails, you’ll hear honest stories, healthy disagreement, and undeniable humor.

Do you need a degree to succeed—or is it time to define success on your own terms? The only thing certain: the tea is piping hot and the discussion is just getting started.
