This week on the pod, we're continuing our conversation with content creator Lindsay Perrin. If you missed Part 1, go back and give it a listen before jumping into this episode. Trust us, there's more to this conversation.

We pick up with a bigger question: Is content creation a real career path worth investing in, or will we look back in 10 years and wonder why we all thought posting our lives online was a business plan? With Arizona State University now offering a degree in content creation, we debate whether you can really teach someone to become an influencer or whether you just have to figure it out in the wild.

We also get into Lindsay's very public clash with Nikki Glaser, what happens when your online persona collides with someone else's, and the unpredictable consequences of putting yourself out there for millions of strangers. Plus, we get into the absolutely crazy IUD story, because apparently no conversation about the internet is complete without at least one moment that makes you question everything you've just heard.

Finally, Lindsay shares her advice for anyone hoping to make a career out of creating content, and our college intern, Emily, weighs in on whether today's younger generation actually trusts influencers, sees them as celebrities, or just sees another ad coming.

We're all for creativity and entrepreneurship. But does every hobby, opinion, and personal experience need to become a revenue stream? We're still not entirely convinced.
