Ep. 2 - College Is Just Summer Camp for Adults

Ep. 3 - Rescue and Moon Missions, Mega IPOs, and Microgreens

Four humans are on their way to the moon right now and most people our age have no idea. SpaceX just filed for a $2 trillion IPO and the AI bubble might actually be starting to pop. A wounded colonel survived 36 hours being hunted in enemy territory and pulled off one of the most insane escapes you've ever heard of. One year into the tariff era and nobody's really talking about who's actually footing the bill. And to close it out, the first ever Startup of the Week — James Valencia and Radical Shoots, a Vandy alum quietly reimagining urban farming down at the Nashville Farmers Market. Check them out here: https://radicalshoots.com This is the stuff our generation needs to be paying attention to. Week ending April 5th, 2026.

Ep. 2 - College Is Just Summer Camp for Adults

"Why are we really in college? In this episode, I make the case that universities have lost their way. What started as a system meant to create free, well-rounded citizens has become an overpriced summer camp that hands out credentials nobody asked for in a job market that no longer values them. We talk about the liberal arts, the degree inflation problem, AI eating white collar jobs, and whether an apprenticeship model makes more sense than four years and a hundred thousand dollars in debt. Plus, why I'm staying at Vanderbilt despite being able to graduate early, and what I think college should actually be used for.

Ep. 1 - Is Our Generation Cooked?

Ep. 1 of a Certain Something - Is Our Generation Cooked? This episode explores the paradox that, despite there being no better time in human history to be alive than today, our generation is experiencing unprecedented levels of depression, anxiety, despair, and pessimism, with many feeling that things are in decline. We've got problems in our world and within our generation. So, are we cooked?
