Why the Grifter Economy Is Booming, Raising Money-Smart Kids and Forming Your Own Opinions

Hogging seats on a crowded train, not saying excuse me, watching videos on your phone with no headphones in. Sometimes it feels like we don't know how to act anymore. What we have been seeing, increasingly, is people breaking rules. Why should I play by the rules if nobody else is going to do that for me? This week on Explain It to Me, how to mind your manners.

New episodes Sundays wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Office Hours with Prop G. This is the part of the show where we answer your questions about business, big tech, entrepreneurship, and whatever else is on your mind. If you'd like to submit a question for next time, you can send a voice recording to OfficeAurs at Propgmedia.com. Again, that's officehours at propgmedia.com or post your question on the Scott Galloway subreddit and we just might feature it in our next episode.

First question. Hey Scott, my name is Jonathan. I'm a longtime listener and follower of your work, going back to the L2 days and the winners and losers YouTube videos. You also wrote a really moving piece about losing your mother, and I lost my mom this year, and then I found myself returning to that post several times. It genuinely helps, so thanks a lot.
