    What does it really take to make a living in the gig economy? Strap in as I recount my firsthand experience navigating the world of DoorDash delivery - the good, the bad, and the truly surprising. From shedding light on the intricate workings of the DoorDash algorithm to a deep dive into the realities of tipping, I'll share my journey of completing 18 orders in three days, earning a grand total of $150. The gig economy extends beyond just picking up and dropping off meals, it's about the hustle, the grind, and the people you meet along the way, like the fellow Dasher who considers this his full-time job and travels from town to town just to make ends meet.

    But this discussion isn't just about DoorDash and the gig economy. We're also exploring the ever-changing landscape of our society and how it's evolved since my youth. Hear my thoughts on the state of our country, from the inflationary pressures making a dent in our wallets to the policies hampering young hunting enthusiasts like my daughter. It's an episode that blends personal anecdotes, real-life experiences, and reflective conversations, designed to make you pause, ponder, and see the world through a different lens. And as we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, I extend my wishes for a safe and happy holiday season to all my listeners. Let's continue to support each other, and remember to generously tip your DoorDash driver this festive season.
