In this episode of the Created To Be Podcast, the gang is back kicking off a new semester of FCA by catching up and diving into the cultural conversation around “2026 is the new 2016.” As student-athletes and leaders navigate a fast, filtered, always-on world, Bethany, Justin, Darius, and Brandi, reflect on what life looked like before algorithms, constant connectivity, and performance-driven pressure.
Through stories, laughter, and nostalgia, they talk about early social media, landlines, built-in boundaries, and why those limitations may have actually helped shape healthier relationships and deeper identity. From an FCA perspective, this conversation points us toward a bigger question: who are we becoming, and what is forming us?
