SOLO POD - When the Covid-19 Pandemic rocked the world in March 2020, governments and banks everywhere responded to the economic crisis that followed in the same way they always do: they printed money. As history repeatedly tells us, this is how fiat currencies die. Yet here we are once again. Inflation events like this place cryptocurrency and digital currency front and center. In this episode, Julian ties it all together as he puts the global supply of money into perspective, breaks down exactly what the Fed did in response to the pandemic (as well as what they’ve done in past crises), talks about why crypto has had some branding/marketing problems early on—and, once and for all, explains how Bitcoin *actually* works. ~ YouTube FULL EPISODES: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0A-v_DL-h76F75xik8h03Q  ~ Show Notes: https://www.trendifier.com/podcastnotes  TRENDIFIER Website: https://www.trendifier.com  Julian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julianddorey  ~ Beat provided by: https://freebeats.io  Music Produced by White Hot Learn more about your ad choices.

SOLO POD - In the third and final part of our conversation about influencers, Julian takes us through some examples of the influencers fighting back against the negative stereotypes within the industry, the Gen-Z trends that may point towards a different influencer of the future, and the influencers coming up who actually aren’t really influencers at all.   Then, in the second half of the episode, Julian discusses a little known influencer theory, introduced back in 2019 by music executive and Nike athlete, Charlie “Rocket” Jabaley, called, The “I AM YOU” Theory. Charlie’s premise with The “I AM YOU” Theory isn’t just about influencers either.    It’s about all of us. ~ YouTube FULL EPISODES: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0A-v_DL-h76F75xik8h03Q  ~ Show Notes: https://www.trendifier.com/podcastnotes  TRENDIFIER Website: https://www.trendifier.com  Julian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julianddorey  ~ Beat provided by: https://freebeats.io  Music Produced by White Hot Learn more about your ad choices.

SOLO POD - Fyre Festival may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back—but even long before Billy McFarland’s Caribbean symphony, the influencer industry had seen clout chasing imposters invade its marketplace. These “fake influencers,” as we’ve come to know them, have undoubtedly damaged the influencer brand.   In Part 2 of our 3-Part series on influencer culture, Julian discusses the “clout chasers” in-depth—and breaks down the negative stereotypes that they’ve brought upon the influencer market in the process. While some of it’s sad to see, the many stories and examples of these “fakers” are certainly laugh out loud funny. ~ YouTube FULL EPISODES: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0A-v_DL-h76F75xik8h03Q  ~ Show Notes: https://www.trendifier.com/podcastnotes  TRENDIFIER Website: https://www.trendifier.com  Julian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julianddorey  ~ Beat provided by: https://freebeats.io  Music Produced by White Hot Learn more about your ad choices.

SOLO POD - Why are we so polarized on everything—from politics to pop culture? When did having nuance in our opinions become a problem? The internet is an obvious culprit. But older generations also like to pin the blame on Millennials and Gen-Z—claiming that the younger generations “never experienced struggle.”   They’re wrong. On both counts. ~ YouTube FULL EPISODES: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0A-v_DL-h76F75xik8h03Q  YouTube CLIPS: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChs-BsSX71a_leuqUk7vtDg  ~ Show Notes: https://www.trendifier.com/podcastnotes  TRENDIFIER Website: https://www.trendifier.com  Julian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julianddorey  ~ Beat provided by: https://freebeats.io  Music Produced by White Hot Learn more about your ad choices.
