#7 From social justice to climate change, Gen Z is known for leading the charge on some of the most pressing issues of our time. They may be the new kids on the block, but GenZ has strong opinions and high expectations of the brands that they engage with.
We know that Gen Z cares about sustainability but their purchasing decisions don't always reflect their values.
In this week's episode, Brittany chats with Estella Struck, Founder and CEO of Vivine, the first GenZ sustainable product marketing agency, to talk about the gap between what GenZ says that they care about and what they actually are purchasing.
In this episode:
- The contradictions in GenZ's purchasing behavior and the factors driving their spending decisions.
- The perceptions of elitism and exclusivity in sustainable fashion versus luxury fashion and how these perceptions influence consumer choices.
- How sustainable fashion brands can improve their marketing strategies to better connect with GenZ.
- The impact of social media and influencers on GenZ's purchasing decisions and how sustainable brands can leverage these platforms to reach and engage with this demographic.
- Strategies for smaller brands with limited budgets to build a loyal community and foster brand affinity.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
