In this eye-opening episode of vpod.ai, sponsored by StoneFly, we explore a surprising trend: tech-savvy Gen Z adults are signing up for formal instruction in basic life skills—everything from doing laundry and managing a budget to roasting a chicken and understanding interest rates.

🔍 In this deep dive, we’ll uncover:

  • Why digital natives are turning to universities for real-world skills
  • How changes in parenting and education have widened the adulting gap
  • What institutions like TMU and the University of Waterloo are doing to help
  • The real-life consequences of missing out on essential life know-how
  • Why ignorance isn’t just inconvenient—it’s expensive
