First 90 secondsShaan Puri· Host0:00
All right, Steph Smith's here.
Sam Parr· Host0:01
Steph is back.
Shaan Puri· Host0:02
And your whole thing is finding up and coming trends.
Sam Parr· Host0:05
I call them gold mines. Some people just come back and show you a little piece of gold. Steph shows you where the mine is.
Steph Smith· Guest0:10
We all run into these generation-defining stats throughout our lives, and most of us are just like, "Oh, that's cool." And so I compiled 100 plus of these.
Shaan Puri· Host0:18
There's so many here.
Steph Smith· Guest0:19
I love this one. Breakup cake, nerd neck, the Dyson mask, a search algorithm that was inspired by ants.
Sam Parr· Host0:25
I need to write this down.
Steph Smith· Guest0:27
If you want to go down the rabbit hole, I think there's a, there's a growing business here.
Speaker 30:33
[singing] I feel like I could rule the world. I know I could be what I want to. Uh. I put my all in it like no days off. On the road less traveled never looking back.
Shaan Puri· Host0:45
We use this phrase one-chart businesses because you just see this chart and it like you said, "Well, there... That thing's obvious. Just get into that industry." You have one here. You said, "In the, uh, in the United States, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that nursing will be the fastest growing occupation between 2020 and 2030, growing in number by 275,000, uh, jobs. That's insane. That's insane. Talk to me about this nursing thing.
Steph Smith· Guest1:12
Yeah. Well, I mean, a- again, it's like a pretty f- clear trend that comes with a bunch of people getting, getting older. Like, everyone's talking about AI, and that's great, um, but what about the billions of people around the globe that are, you know, 65 plus that are just gonna need physical human support?
