What if the real problem isn't that people aren't going out... it's that they've stopped showing up for life?
Across the board, Americans are spending 50% less time at social events than they did two decades ago.
For young adults aged 15 to 24, the drop is even steeper at 70%.
But this isn’t just a change in weekend habits. It’s a warning sign.
People are choosing isolation over interaction, and it’s bleeding into every area of society—including your business.
In this episode, Ethan and Justin expose how cultural shifts are reshaping the way we connect. Screens replaced shared experiences. Safety fears replaced spontaneity. And health trends dismantled the old party culture. If your business relies on people showing up, engaging, or believing in something bigger than themselves, you need to hear this conversation.
