Anime, TikTok, and the Proteas: The quiet rise of the unconnected universe
Loading player...
Is the world changing faster than you realise? And are you missing the signs?
In this eye-opening episode, our host reflects on two recent events that signal a major generational watershed: the sponsorship of the South African cricket team by Crunchyroll (a Japanese anime streaming service) and the instant accessibility of live streaming on TikTok by his own son.
We explore the contrast between the traditional world and the rapidly growing "physically unconnected universe," where influence and audience are built entirely online.
This is a crucial lesson in combating costly ignorance. Discover why adopting a broader perspective and gaining intentional insight into the younger generation is vital. Don't be the one who mistakes a major cultural shift for a trip to the bakery - understand how the hegemony of traditional connection is shifting and stay ahead of the curve.
