Millennial entrepreneurship is all about young individuals from the millennial generation diving into the business world. These people grew up with smartphones, social media, and endless information. They're not just looking for a job but eager to create their paths and turn their creative ideas into successful ventures.

Controlling what we can when things feel out of control (feat. new book recs)

Maintaining an environment and controlling what you can to make your surroundings and the place that you work and live less stressful for yourself can seem daunting and sometimes, impossible.

Here are some things that I have done (and used) to change my situation as much as possible while living in my parents’ basement as a single mom on minimal income. I’ve always felt the need to adjust my surroundings as much and as often as possible to reframe my mindset to feel more sense of control.

I'm someone who really enjoys thrifting furniture, décor, and clothes. I also try to create and DIY as much as possible but changing up the way that my room and work space are set up every few months really helps me reenergize and refocus. I try to minimize my belongings to reduce clutter and create as much of an aesthetic as possible without focusing on what I can’t change and instead enjoying the space that I do have at this time.

As far as home décor I use what I have, but I also try to thrift furniture when possible. Obviously a few things. I would rather buy new; like my bed spread that I got right before vacation so that when I came back from Puerto Rico I got to sleep in my own bed with brand new clean sheets, pillows and blankets. Allowing myself to kind of splurge on new things when I like the color, style, and the feel, helps me be more grounded in not spending as often or thrifting other items more.

Thrifting clothes, on the other hand, has taken me to a new level of self-love. My style changes just as often as my environment. I’ve been more graceful with myself and being open to new styles, allowing myself to change my mind and wear what feels good regardless of outside opinions.

Growing up, I always got hand-me-down clothes from older cousins and didn't go shopping unless it was for a special occasion. But now I am really enjoying thrifting different outfits and trying to find what style I like the look and the feel of. Something that's helped me with this is looking into my Venus sign and trying to embrace things that I enjoy and trying a lot of things out. Thrifting pants, skirts, dresses, baggy, tight, and different materials, always heavily leaning on some TikTok inspiration from 

TOP 3

3 of my favorite Amazon finds that I use daily

my water bottle

It's a 40 oz, but it also traps in temperature which is great for summer coming up and keeping my water cold.

my phone holder

...for my car helps keep it charged and available for jam sessions. When I am educating my 7-year-old. What fallout boy has done for this country? Just kidding kind of. 

these smart home lights

...are a lifesaver. For someone who does not live close or sleep close to their light switch. You can change the brightness. The color and I never have to worry about the big light. Cause the big light can be dimmed to help with sensory overload. Plus it pairs with Google, so it's even better than the clapper. And I can tell Google to turn my lights on and off. Schedule them for the mornings so that I know it's actually time to get up and not press snooze again.

Book Reccommendations

Mistborn - Brandon Sanderson

The Island of Missing Trees - Elif Shafak

Sometimes I Lie - Alice Feeney

Reviews coming in next week's blog!

So call me crazy when I constantly rearrange furniture, when I go wild over a good deal at the thrift store, and when I dress like I'm a 14-year-old walking into Hot Topic in 2008, but I enjoy it. These things all help me feel at peace, help me feel in control when things are chaotic, and help me express myself as I am constantly changing and gradually less willing to care what others think about that.

Each Amazon purchase from the links above gain me commission from affiliate. If you're not comfortable with that, you can find these products on amazon separately as well, thanks for tuning in.

buh bye.

If some enterprising GenZ or fellow Millennial who’s is at a “fuck it” point in their life would like to run with this idea of mine and get it to cult status like Scrub Daddy all I as is for credit in your sales pitch and 3% of sales.

The idea—- Gardening, Indoor and Outdoor gloves for wide width hands and arms. Made from sustainable materials (( bamboo fibers, natural latex, possible silicone for latex allergies)) with either cotton or satin lining and fun designs as well as solid colors. Packaging out of recycled or biodegradable cardboard. Fair price point and fairly paid labor.

Kiera Butler at Mother Jones:

Last Thursday, as wildfires continued to blaze through Los Angeles, firefighters appeared to be no match for the deadly combination of winds and flames. But one entrepreneur in the LA suburb of El Segundo had an idea. Augustus Doricko, a 24-year-old who runs a geoengineering startup called Rainmaker, announced on X his attention to help. “Rainmaker will do what it can,” he posted, “starting Saturday.” Doricko may not be a tech celebrity like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, but he isn’t a nobody, either—at least not anymore. Just four years ago, Doricko was a lowly undergrad conservative activist at the University of California, Berkeley, where he launched the school’s chapter of America First Students, the university arm of the political organization founded by white nationalist “Groyper” and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. But for Doricko as for many young aspiring tech entrepreneurs, a college degree was not a prerequisite for success.

Last year, PayPal founder Peter Thiel’s foundation granted Doricko a Thiel Fellowship, a grant awarded annually to a select group of entrepreneurs who have foregone a college degree in order to pursue a tech-focused business venture. In Doricko’s case, that venture was Rainmaker, which seeks to increase the US water supply through cloud-seeding technology. Like many tech entrepreneurs, Doricko believes his work is the solution to an urgent problem. “Cloud seeding is a necessary technology to avert worsening drought,” he posted recently. But he also believes his work manifests God’s will. In August, he told his followers on X, “One of our Lord’s first commandments was to subdue the earth and tend to it! He desires that mankind control the weather for the sake of building the kingdom of God on earth and stewarding it well.” In another post, he wrote, “Dams modify rivers, Jesus was a carpenter who modified forests (cut trees) to build houses. We aim to serve God.” Cloud seeding is just the next step in the evolution of man’s relationship with nature for the greater glory of the Divine. Doricko didn’t say exactly how he and his few dozen employees planned to help with the fires. But the practical details seemed to be beside the point, at least to his admiring followers on social media who responded to his post. “Augustus promises to do what he can to stop the bleeding,” enthused one fan on X. “He plans to command the heavens and make the angels cry for life to prevail.” Another added, “Godspeed brethren, may the good Lord bless you and keep you.” Doricko is just one example within a rising tide of American Christianity that appears to be cresting in California’s tech enclaves. Recent news stories have described a new generation of tech bros flocking to church in the famously secular San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley, discovering Christianity through PayPal founder and billionaire investor Peter Thiel, and investing in a Christ-centered real estate enclave in rural Kentucky. There are the usual reasons for this surging interest in Christianity like yearning for community and searching for the greater meaning of life. And for those immersed in a tech culture that has long been obsessed with longevity, the promise of eternal life must offer a special appeal.

But there are other forces at play, which revolve around a very specific kind of Christianity: that of the TheoBros, a group of mostly millennial and Gen Z, ultraconservative men, many of whom proudly call themselves Christian nationalists. Among the tenets of this branch of Protestant Christianity—known as Reformed or Reconstructionist—is the idea that the United States should be subject to biblical law. While the TheoBros’ beliefs are extreme—many of them think women shouldn’t be able to vote, and that the Constitution has outlived its usefulness and we should instead be governed by the Ten Commandments—their movement is moving out of the fringe. In part because they are very savvy about broadcasting it on a multitude of platforms—on podcasts and YouTube shows, on X, at a seemingly never-ending round-robin of conferences. Doricko attends a church that is part of the TheoBros denomination in an LA suburb, as do others in his El Segundo tech community and beyond.

The TheoBros also have made inroads to the upper reaches of political power. In November, President-elect Trump nominated one of their allies, former Fox News commentator Pete Hegseth, to lead the Department of Defense. Hegseth attends a church in Tennessee that is affiliated with the TheoBro movement, and his children attend a school affiliated with the network of classical Christian schools that Wilson helped found. JD Vance has brushed shoulders with the TheoBros, too—he spoke at last summer’s National Conservatism Conference, where Wilson also spoke, and he co-founded the Rockbridge Network, a powerful group of Republican donors, with Chris Buskirk, a board member of the unofficial TheoBro magazine, American Reformer.

The TheoBros’ burgeoning connections with the Trump administration mark a divergence from the style of Christianity that the MAGA world had once embraced. During Trump’s first term, he forged connections with leaders in what’s known as the New Apostolic Reformation, a charismatic movement whose adherents believe that Christians are called to take over the government. Those leaders went on to become instrumental figures in the “Stop the Steal” campaign that led to the Capital insurrection of 2021. Yet the TheoBros are, for the most part, much more militant in their political and social beliefs than the New Apostolic Reformation adherents. Recent pieces in American Reformer have bemoaned the “feminization” of Christianity, lambasted the “willfully childless feminists in the media,” and predicted that “traditional American holidays that reflect our Christian and Anglo heritage will become battlegrounds in the contest over the soul of America among the disparate groups now populating the country.”

[...] Today, with Doricko as a fellow worshipper, Taylor attends Christ Church Santa Clarita, a southern California member church in the denomination that Wilson founded. In 2023, Taylor wrote on X that Wilson had been “a huge influence on me regarding wealth.” Wilson has written that he sees technology as something like a divine gift. “If you have a smartphone, you have more wealth in your pocket than Nebuchadnezzar accumulated over the course of his lifetime,” he wrote in his 2020 book, Ploductivity: A Practical Theology of Work and Wealth. “We have a responsibility to turn a profit on these astounding resources.”

Millennials and Gen Zs were raised to be entrepreneurs of the self, to believe that, if they simply worked and studied hard enough, success and security were waiting in their futures. Failure was a personal blight for refusing to invest their time wisely, for failing to grind hard enough. Post-2008, that dream was shot. You could work and work, but that did not mean that you would have job security and freedom from roommates by your mid-30s. Maybe this was what was meant by burnout culture. In the aftermath of the crash, middle-class people spoke of the death of the dream – the postwar ethos that, if you were willing to work hard enough and play by the rules, upper mobility and success were waiting in your future. If their parents had believed in climbing the ladder and just rewards for their hard work, this path was now closed to their children. These generations are also a product of the speculative environment they were raised in. Most of the day-traders were teenagers or children in the financial crash, or just graduating college. Fledgling adults in the COVID-19 pandemic. Born between the mid-1980s and early 2000s, their identity is shaped by the vacuum of post-communist politics (I, personally, was sent, age five, to a fancy-dress party styled as the Berlin Wall) or shaped by the speculation and excess of the dotcom era, or racked by the uncertainty of the 2008 financial crash. They’ve encountered the death of the American dream (or in Ireland, where I’m from, the optimism of the Celtic Tiger) and felt the withdrawal of the state’s contract in everything from mounting student debt to inferior healthcare to the rising cost of living. The postwar security and investment in public goods like education and housing their grandparents and parents enjoyed has been replaced by volatility and risk. Retail trading forums like WallStreetBets and NFT Discords are spaces where people trade crazy investment advice, but it’s also where they articulate their loss of hope in those same dreams. What replaced the fantasy of the good life? Dreams of prepping for life on Mars or in the metaverse? Of financial security through wild trades, or finding a good man to take care of you so you could leave the hustle behind? And who are these new dreams in service of? If the tale of hard work and upward mobility kept us yoked to our employers and our 9-to-5 jobs, the fantasy of the YOLO investment ‘Lambos or food stamps!’ keeps its subjects attached to the market. To risking it all. And these dreams feed the market, as in the crypto winter of 2021 where many vulnerable investors were left holding the bag, or the post-GameStop frenzy where, despite feelgood stories about David and Goliath, the significant profiteer was the market-maker behind the Robinhood trading app.
