Young workers may not possess the experience or wisdom of their older colleagues, but they’ve always had one advantage in the workplace: their enthusiasm. Unattached and kid-free, they’re willing to burn the midnight oil.

Over the past few years, Lex Fridman has gone from an unknown academic researcher to a social-media celebrity and member of Elon Musk’s inner circle. In his podcast, Fridman asks scientists, historians, and artists a series of wide-eyed questions. It all seems innocent enough.

Millennials have never had it easy in the housing market. But the sheer size of the generation and the fact that many of its members have reached prime homebuying age mean that with each passing year more millennials are literally getting their foot in the door.
