Black Box Theory

Описание: EPISODE OVERVIEW

Why are we graduating with degrees but no direction on how money actually works? This episode kicks off with "The 100K Question," tackling the massive gap in financial literacy within our education system and how it dictates long-term economic mobility.

We’re also peeling back the layers of our digital identities*, questioning whether anyone is actually "authentic" online or if the internet has turned us all into performers. From the uphill battle of *social media rebranding to the heavy psychological price of code-switching in corporate spaces, this conversation explores the hidden costs of trying to fit in while trying to get ahead.
