A short one-on-one where we find Nikki and Chad reminiscing the recent Atlanta snow day, why snow in the South is special, YakTrax, Zwift kudos, and Wahoo ROLLR v KICKR trainers. They chat the LA fires, how the recent “eat the rich” sentiment is a result of celebrities, social media, the flaunting of wealth and what it means for the future of social media from the perspective and habits of Gen Z and Gen Alpha. They also walk us through how a proposed filming can get hijacked by an HOA president, Red One or Red Notice, and how much The Rock must just really like the color.

This week’s one-on-one New Year/Circle-Back Week special finds Nikki and Chad back in the ATL where they walk us through Nikki’s Glazer’s triumph at the Golden Globes, a deep dive of the service spectrum with Verizon wireless, what the retail experience will be when the robots take over, how the Avicii documentary draws tears and inspiration, the death of Burley’s bar where “vodka is vodka,” Dry January, why Tik Tok ban is a good for young girls and the planet, the hydration brand explosion, and the latest on the +SpeedStudio brand tweak. They get serious thinking about 2025 goals, what it is like to be an entrepreneur, and seeking out more authentic mentors.

This week’s one-on-one on New Year’s Eve finds Nikki and Chad still in Miami where they provide their “culture takes” like how Christmas is non-existent, lots of eye contact, social relationship priority, the latest on shrimp cocktail, and how Sunny’s Steakhouse could be the best restaurant in America.

Since it’s year-end, they also tackle the big trend reports, including Airmail’s over/under hyped and the Strava “Year In Sport.” They also provide their own 2025 workplace culture predictions: the death of perks, AI’s impact on return to office, the shift to performance-based pay, and getting creative with leadership communications.
