Podcast: Why It Feels Impossible to Keep Up in Today’s Society

In this episode, host Brian Adams sits down with Excelsior’s COO, Jarrod Arnold, to discuss the disconnect between the financial perceptions and realities facing younger generations today. They explore how social media, ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ mentality, and the normalization of debt have warped expectations around earning, spending, and achieving financial stability.
