Welcome to House of Content, a weekly show that dives into trending topics and what’s bubbling under in the world of creators, lifestyle, careers, and social media.

Are you team L.A. or New York? Let us know in our DMs.
Open any social feed: Chances are, there's a creator showcasing a new trend, product, or brand to try. This week, we debate two opposing trends on social: lifestyle creep and underconsumption core.
From last year’s wave of de-influencing to the current embrace of minimalism, we’ll discuss how creators are shifting the narrative from excessive consumption to intentional living.
