Hacked Out: The Digital Security Crisis Facing Diverse Communities

CBX Vibe

We talk a lot about access when it comes to technology, perhaps not enough about protection. As inclusive communities grow increasingly mobile and digitally connected, they’re also becoming prime targets for cybercrime. From phishing scams to data leaks, these internet users are disproportionately vulnerable, and tech companies could be doing more to secure their digital safety.

The Foreign Student Bubble That Could Burst U.S. Colleges

CBX Vibe:

Institutions that heavily rely on international students for enrolment have found themselves at a crossroads with recent policy changes in the Trump administration. From visa denials, immigration policy changes and anti-DEI policies, the foreign student population is at a risk of being phased out. This is because a significant portion of these institutions' revenue depends on international students.

Hiring Hell For Small Businesses & How They're Rethinking Recruiting

CBX Vibe:

Many small business owners are ready to expand their teams. But a NEXT research study found that most expect hiring new employees to be a challenge. And many are successfully attracting new talent with new strategies that work. In April 2025, we asked 1,500 small business owners looking to hire in the next six months for their thoughts about finding and bringing on more workers. The data reveals a difficult hiring landscape, including tough competition and a shortage of skilled applicants.

Tune-in Tuesdays!

Trump unveils signature fragrances just months after the crypto coin buzz fizzled. Is this evolution in grift or branding brilliance?

A.“Hustlin” by Rick Ross – Every day he’s monetizing. It's not about longevity, it’s about headlines, hype, and hitting that donor-wallet dopamine
B. “Me & U” by Tems – Crypto was chaotic, unpredictable and too risky for the loyal base. Fragrance is stable, giftable, and ironic enough, appeals to the common Trump supporter
C. “The Gift That Keeps on Giving” by Tory Kelly – It’s not about product quality, it’s about customer faith. The pitch remains: Buy a piece of me. Be part of something bigger

Gen Zs Are More Confident In Entrepreneurship Over 9–5 Jobs

CBX Vibe:

As economic uncertainty and wage stagnation loom large, Gen Z is rewriting the employment playbook. In place of the traditional corporate ladder, they’re building their own rungs through side hustles, startups, and freelance careers. This shift is not just anecdotal—it's backed by data. With 77% of Gen Z confident in their ability to run a successful business and 72% already juggling side hustles, entrepreneurship is emerging as the new default. What was once a fallback plan is now the first choice for a generation that values creative freedom over cubicles.

Algorithms Don’t Love Us: Is Tech Bias Costing Entrepreneurs?

CBX Vibe:

In the age of AI, diverse entrepreneurs are being filtered out, sometimes before they even have a chance to be seen. Algorithms, often perceived as neutral, are shaping everything from who gets hired to who gets funded. When those systems reflect the biases of the society that built them, inclusive businesses and startups can be left at a systemic disadvantage.
