In this episode of The Ryan Vet Show, generational futurist Ryan Vet explores how communication frequency has become the new transparency — especially for Gen Z. Raised entirely inside algorithm-driven platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, Gen Z has been conditioned to associate repetition with credibility.

This episode breaks down:

• The psychology behind the Illusory Truth Effect
• Why Gen Z distrusts traditional institutions
• Gallup and Pew Research data on declining media trust
• How social media algorithms amplify perceived truth
• Why silence from leaders feels like deception
• How communication cadence builds workplace trust
• What leaders misunderstand about “over-communication”
• How to lead Gen Z employees more effectively

If you’re a CEO, executive, manager, educator, or team leader trying to understand Gen Z workplace expectations, transparency in leadership, or the future of trust, this episode offers research-backed insight and practical application.

In today’s algorithm-shaped world, credibility isn’t a statement.
It’s a signal — and the signal has to stay on.

Love didn’t disappear.
It got upgraded.

In this episode of The Ryan Vet Show, Ryan takes you on a generational journey through how we quietly rewrote the meaning of love — from duty and lifelong commitment… to choice and chemistry… to “love is love,” chronic dating, and now even emotional bonds with AI.

Valentine’s Day is no longer just about roses and romance.
It’s become a cultural mirror, revealing how each generation reshaped relationships around risk, freedom, identity, technology, and control.

You’ll discover:

• Why love used to be a social institution — not just a feeling
• How birth control, divorce, and women entering the workforce rewired commitment
• Why Millennials expanded love beyond marriage and tradition
• How Gen Z turned dating into a low-risk, high-option marketplace
• And why the next evolution of love may not even involve another human

From Hallmark cards to dating apps to AI companions, this episode explores how we’ve steadily removed friction from relationships — and what we may be losing in the process.

Because when love becomes safer, easier, and more optimized…
it also becomes something very different.

If you’ve ever wondered why dating feels exhausting, commitment feels heavier, or connection feels harder than it should — this episode connects the dots across generations.

🎧 Listen now and see what Valentine’s Day is really telling us about the future of love.
