This week on LinkedOut, we’re talking cause → effect → chaos. Syd and Brit dive into the butterfly effect of accepting lower salaries as experienced professionals—because when one of us takes a pay cut, it ripples across the whole damn industry. We also break down the internet’s reaction to new tariffs and why luxury brands are spiraling, rebranding, and possibly just screaming into the void.

And of course, we’re shouting out the real MVPs: the creative community and small businesses trying to thrive while the economy plays hot potato with our livelihoods. Spoiler: we’re not anti-hustle, we’re anti-exploitation.
