I sat down with sports journalist, author and influencer Emily Austin to talk about what’s really going on in Gen Z culture, from failing relationships and collapsing masculinity to growing antisemitism, career confusion, and the influencer illusion. Emily pulls no punches on what it means to be a woman in today's media landscape, why so many young men are losing themselves to grifters, and how she’s stayed grounded through it all.

She shares her path from premed dropout to court-side interviewer to Middle East advocate and why she refuses to lie for clicks. If you care about truth, resilience, and raising a generation that can stand up and speak out, you don’t want to miss this.
