Each episode will take a close-up look at a so-called dying industry. They’ll give their POV, host a conversation with an industry disruptor, and wrap up by sharing their conclusions and suggestions. Grab some kale chips and join in.
Diamonds are spellbinding, sparkly rocks born from deep within the Earth. But are they the ethical, ecological, and economical choice for today’s discerning jewelry lovers?

We can’t say the same for diamond traditions. Tune in as we unpack the past, present, and future of the diamond industry.

But how is the new streaming paradigm changing the way we approach content? In this episode, we investigate how filmmakers, marketers and customers are all handling the content streaming world we all live in.

Death of Office Spaces
In the last 40 years, the cost of education has quadrupled while the average household income has gone up just 2k. This gargantuan change in the cost of education has dramatically changed Millennials’ view of the workforce. Millennials are creating new working styles and breaking the nine-to-five office mold. Are they killing the cubicle? Yes. Yes they are. But they have reasons.
In this episode, we’ll explore working styles, flexibility, community, culture, the mullet of work attire, and whether working 8 solid hours a day is a good thing.

Death of Retail: Branded Cafes
You’ve seen the shuttered storefronts at your local mall. In 2018 alone, 70 million square feet of retail space closed. But is it really all Millennials’ fault? We don’t think so. The truth is that many brands are not only thriving, but expanding their physical footprints with more experiential destinations.
In this episode, we’ll dive into the growing trend of branded cafes. Joining us is special guest Brandon Camarda from Rapha, purveyor of cycling gear as well as tasty food and espresso.
