Steph Smith: Jobs of the Future, Fractional Real Estate, Mouth Tape and More

85% of employment growth in the last 80 years came from new jobs. So, AKA, between 1940 and today, 85% of employment growth came from jobs that did not exist in 1940.

Before 2008/2009, the idea of a social media manager did not exist; the idea of a UX designer did not exist ... Hundreds of thousands of people now do these jobs.

The same companies that had these really strict clothing rules... are letting people sit with their MacBook under their chin with a dirty ass background behind them showing up to their business meetings, trying to win a client. And it's like, where's your digital suit? They don't care. They don't even think about that, because it's so outside of their field of view.

Which is bullshit that they're not sold over-the-counter. It's fucking bullshit. It's been bothering me so much. That and glucose monitors. I'm amazed that they're not sold over-the-counter. I've been trying to get a hearing aid, and they make me go to all these appointments, and I miss them.

I met these guys that were doing $7M a month in sales on their hearing aid brand that I had never heard of ... DTC hearing aids, I think that's actually gonna be a big deal.

As of October, the FDA relaxed their rule, which basically meant hearing aids could be sold over-the-counter.
