This week, Abhainn and Danielle take a peek into the gig economy - corporations like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart - all of the major players that popped up over the last decade to make our lives easier and our pockets lighter. They chat about how these companies have historically been ethically ambiguous AND wholly unprofitable, begging the question - where is the gig economy heading, and how can we make sure that their innovation is combined with accountability?
The news of Instacart going public is the star of the show, with Danielle and Abhainn dissecting the new CEO’s move to make Instacart an advertising platform. Will this move be the beginning of profitability for gig companies? Danielle also seizes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a metaphor universe for advertising platforms that (finally) all of us understand - you don’t want to miss it.
