#121 - Dynamic Pricing Makes It A Seller’s Market
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when the price of everyday life starts feeling like a luxury tax on regular people? In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer take on dynamic pricing, inflation, and the growing feeling that people are being priced out of experiences, homes, and even simple fun. From Knicks tickets and World Cup seats to real estate bidding wars and fundraising scams, they break down how demand, algorithms, and money are changing the way we buy, give, and live.
The conversation also touches on the return of penmanship in New Jersey schools, why handwritten skills still matter, and how fine motor challenges can reveal deeper learning needs. They also warn listeners to be careful with online fundraising platforms and to check where their money is really going before donating.
The episode closes with a powerful Got Grit Award for Emma Kok, a young singer with a paralyzed stomach whose voice reminds us that grit is not always loud. Sometimes, it sings.
