About this listen

 In this episode, the boys roll out the red carpet for Ankit Kalda, a finance brainiac from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. They dive into the gig economy’s role as a financial lifeboat for laid-off workers, tossing around ideas like Uber drivers dodging debt faster than a bad Tinder date. The crew chews over how gig work reshapes the workforce, with HR folks scrambling to keep up like over-caffeinated squirrels. They also poke at the headaches gig platforms face—think regulatory red tape and automation like Tesla’s robotaxis stealing the wheel. Plus, they riff on Uncle Sam’s snooping into gig earnings, what Gen Z expects from this hustle-heavy world, and whether the gig economy’s future is a shiny utopia or a dystopian dumpster fire. It’s a wild ride through jobs, bots, and government plots!
