The GIG Economy Podcast

Send us a Text Message.

Ever wondered how self-driving cars could handle drunk passengers or what the implications of a minimum wage are from a driver's perspective? We tackle these questions head-on as we dissect the complexities of the modern gig economy. We look at the challenges and rewards of maintaining high ratings as we delve into the life of DoorDash drivers aiming for the elusive 'platinum' level.
The concluding part of our conversation veers from pet store orders to Mark Cuban's missed investment opportunity in Uber. We debate on whether gig apps are mere gap-fillers or capable of sustaining full-time work. Prepare to be enlightened, entertained, and engaged in this roller-coaster ride into the gig economy.
