A graduate of Texas State University, he had just fine-tuned his resume for post-college life when an opportunity arose for him to continue his passion of DJing.Īustin DJ James Ortiz has built a life around his passion for DJing. Like Peck, who wants to work for herself and open a hair studio of her own, 22-year-old James Ortiz scrapped his corporate future plans for his passion during the COVID pandemic. And a study by Knit, a Gen Z-led Austin startup that collects data on Zoomers, found that nearly half of those surveyed are looking to build their own business-around 10 percentage points higher than any other age group. Half of those under 30 across the political spectrum now say billionaires are detrimental to the U.S. Young people also tend to have a growing disdain for corporate hierarchies and the ultrarich, especially as wealth inequality ballooned even further during the pandemic. A record 4.4 million Americans quit their jobs in search of better opportunities in September. She's not alone: many Gen Zers are coming of age during "The Great Resignation," a time when people are collectively quitting their jobs, packing their bags and pursuing their passions at an unprecedented pace. It’s just an exhausting feeling and you never really feel appreciated."
"It’s just always about making the people at the top more money regardless of how you work (or) what you make. "It just felt like no one really cared about you or had your best interest at all," Peck said. She chose Austin for its reputation as a mecca for young people looking to make connections and create a new life. Peck said she was tired of feeling taken advantage of while working for others and switched to cosmetology. Formerly a nursing student who spent five years working in the medical industry, Peck made a major lifestyle change when she moved to Austin in search of new opportunities.Ģ2-year-old cosmetology student Trina Peck quit nursing school and moved to Austin after being burnt out in the medical industry. When 22-year-old cosmetology student Trina Peck moved from northern Idaho to north Austin early this year, she had to adjust to more than balmy Texas weather. But fewer listeners may just be worth the chunk of money and Austin lifestyle that came after his contract. His Spotify deal is likely the reason for a decline in his relevance, The Verge reports, as some of his listeners didn't switch over to the platform when he made the switch. Still, some can remember two times this year he made headlines for speaking out against healthy people getting vaccines and the efficiency of vaccines. But those searches dipped after going exclusive on Spotify, with fewer spikes in searches for his name. Rogan's name was regularly searched in 2020, the Google Trends data shows.
While the timing lines up with the Spotify deal that constrains Rogan's content to only Spotify (as opposed to stretching across multiple platforms like YouTube), The Verge acknowledges it could be associated with a drop in listeners to podcasts overall after the thick of the pandemic.īut his overall relevance has fallen as well. The data showed that after the Spotify deal, guests would gain 2,000 followers after their appearance, half as many as before. Since Spotify hasn't provided numbers on Rogan's listenership, analytics tool Social Blade was used to track the Twitter following of every guest with under 500,000 followers who went on the podcast between December 2019 and July 2021.
An investigation by the tech and entertainment site reveals "The Joe Rogan Experience" has declined in how it boosts guests and Rogan's overall presence as compared to before the big deal made his show exclusively available on Spotify. 1 on Spotify's top podcast charts and reaches 200 million people monthly.īut his Spotify success may be the very reason for stagnant audience growth, The Verge reports. The MMA enthusiast's podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, still sits at No. That's not to say Rogan's success has evaporated. But one year later, that same deal seems to be weighing down his growth. Packing his home up around this time last year and heading to the Hill Country, Joe Rogan was riding a high: the podcast king had just secured a deal with Spotify worth at least $100 million.
