Bruce and Gaydos explain why some Gen-Zers want their new job to have fun aspects built into their office.

It's Tuesday, June 24th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Adam McManus Syrian suicide bomber A suicide bomber entered an Orthodox Church in Damascus, Syria on Sunday killing 22 people and wounding at least 63 others, reports ABC News. The ISIS terrorist group has claimed responsibility. No increased nuclear radiation levels after U.S. bombing in Iran The International Atomic Energy Agency reports no increase in off-site radiation levels at the three Iranian sites bombed by the United States and Israel. The neighboring Kuwait government has also confirmed that “no abnormal radiation levels have been detected in any of the member states.” The whereabouts of 400 kilograms of highly enriched Uranium in Iran is still a mystery. Israel bombed Iran's Evin Prison Israel continues its bombardment on Iran, including a bombing of the notorious Evin prison, where a number of Christians are held, and have been tortured over the last several decades. Trump: Israel & Iran agreed to cease-fire to end “12-Day War” On Monday, President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a cease-fire, declaring an end to what he referred to as “The 12 Day War,” reports The Epoch Times. In a Truth Social Post, Trump wrote,  “It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE … for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered ENDED!” Both sides will wind down their final military operations within 12 hours, beginning what Trump expects to be “PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL” on both sides. The conflict will be declared over within 24 hours. However, The New York Times indicated that there is no confirmation yet from Israel and Iran. Russia bombed Ukraine with 16 missiles and 352 drones The Russian army unleashed a heavy bombardment on Kiev, Ukraine yesterday involving 352 drones and 16 missiles, reports Reuters. At least 10 Ukrainians died in the attack. This follows another attack last week which killed 28 people.  Zelensky assassination plot foiled Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was the target of an assassination plot to be carried out by a Polish elderly man who had first been recruited by the Soviet Union decades ago, reports Newsweek. The man was activated to take out Zelensky at Poland's Rzeszów–Jasionka Airport using either a first-person view drone or a sniper rifle. The would-be assassin was a firm believer in Soviet ideology. The assassination plot was foiled by a joint effort of Ukraine's SBU, the main internal security agency, and the Polish internal security service known as ABW. Americans less isolationist Americans are moving away from isolationism according to a recent survey by the Ronald Reagan Institute. In the last three years, Americans who believe the United States should be more engaged in international events has seen a 24% increase. Specifically, 69% of Republicans, 64% of Democrats, and 73% of MAGA/Trump Republicans want to see more engagement internationally. A supermajority of Americans – 84% -- state their support for preventing the Islamic Republic from gaining access to nuclear weapons. Only 57% of Americans would agree with the statement that “the United States is better served by withdrawing from international events and focusing on problems here at home.” The major shift in American opinions on this has occurred since the November election.  Russia economy expanded by 4.3% last year Despite international pressures, the Russian economy expanded by 4.3% last year. This compares to a 1.1% bump for the United Kingdom, and a 2.8% bump for the U.S. economy last year. Supreme Court temporarily allows deportations to third countries In a 6-3 decision on Monday, the Supreme Court temporarily lifted a lower court order blocking the Trump administration from deporting illegal immigrants to so-called third countries to which they have no connection, reports The Epoch Times. The unsigned order came in the case known as Department of Homeland Security v. D.V.D. Michigan church shooting prevented   A heavily-armed man attempted a massacre at the Wayne, Michigan Crosspointe Community Church, reports CBS News. Thankfully, he didn't make it into the building. A parishioner rammed him with his truck, and the security team engaged him in the parking lot.  The suspect was pronounced dead when police arrived on the scene. One security guard took a shot in the leg. Based on national news sources, there are 1-2 church shootings per year in this country. That's 1 out of 380,000 churches.  Psalm 27:1-2 is always the right mindset. It says, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?  When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell.” Ohio pro-life legislators want to protect babies from conception Several Ohio legislators are floating a bill that outlaws the willful murder of a child from the point of conception. The "Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act,” introduced by state Representatives Levi Dean and Johnathan Newman, would overturn the 2023 referendum amendment that legalized abortion in Ohio.  In Psalm 22, the psalmist confesses, “You … took me out of the womb; You made me trust while on my mother's breasts. I was cast upon You from birth. from my mother's womb You have been my God.”  Older Americans more likely to have Biblical worldview George Barna's 2025 American Worldview Inventory report has been released and he concludes that only 1% of adults under 30 have a Biblical worldview. That compares with 5% for adults over 50, and 8% for adults over 65. Also, 69% of young Gen Z Americans believe abortion is morally acceptable. That's up from 60% for the Gen X and Boomer generations. Then, 73% of Gen Zers agree that sex outside of marriage is okay.  That's up from 59% with the Boomer Generation.  Fifth Circuit deems Louisiana Ten Commandments law unconstitutional The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Louisiana's law requiring the posting of The Ten Commandments in public schools, reports Courthouse News Service. The Louisiana law required schools which receive public funding to post a framed copy of The 10 Commandments in the classrooms. Observatory identified and photographed 10 million galaxies The Rubin Observatory, located in South America's Andes Mountain, has completed its first 10 hours of operation and identified 2,104 new asteroids never seen before, and photographed 10 million galaxies, reports the BBC. The observatory features a 28-foot telescope and an ultra-wide, ultra-high definition camera.  Sperm donor passed cancer gene to 67 children In other science news, a sperm donor in Europe has passed a cancer gene on to 67 children. Already, at least ten of the children have signs of cancer, all of them born between 2008 and 2015. The case was discussed at the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics. Dr. Edwige Kasper, a specialist in genetic predisposition to cancer at the Rouen University Hospital in Rouen, France, said, “The variant would have been practically undetectable in 2008 when the individual started to donate sperm.” U.S. housing prices spike Housing prices in the U.S. are still reaching record highs. The median price of homes sold last month was $423,000, up 1.3% from May of 2024. 7 Worldview listeners gave $2,828.30  to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our final $123,500 goal by Monday, June 30th to fully fund The Worldview annual budget for our 6-member team, 7 listeners stepped up to the plate. Our thanks to Nathan in Cleveland, Tennessee who gave $25, N.B. in Ripon, North Yorkshire, England who gave $30, and Logan and Bianca in Manzini, Eswatini, Africa who gave $70. And we're grateful to God for Gloria in  Westminster, Colorado who gave $103.30, Payton in Georgetown, Texas who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Amy in Eldorado, Wisconsin who gave $1,000, and Pamela in Sierra Madre, California who also gave $1,000. Those 7 Worldview listeners gave a total of $2,828.30. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $65,401.55 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)  Still need to raise $58,098.45!  Looking for 9 Super Donors! That means by this coming Monday, June 30th, we need to raise a whopping $58,098.45 in just 7 days.  Oh my!  I've got butterflies in my stomach. Is there 1 businessperson who could donate $10,000?  3 businesspeople who could give $5,000?  5 businesspeople who could contribute $2,500? If so, those donations would total $37,500. Then we would need another 8 people to pledge $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200.  And another 16 people to pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600? Please, go to TheWorldview.com and click on Give on the top right.  If you want to make it a monthly pledge, click on the recurring tab. If everybody does something – no matter how big or small – we will knock this relatively modest budget out of the park. Attention donors from this year: Send email urging others to donate! Lastly, I would love to feature a 2-3 sentence email from those who have already given this year, whose names I will not cite, with your encouragement for your fellow listeners to consider a last minute gift.  Just include your city and state send it to Adam@TheWorldview.com Speak from your heart about why you gave and why you would urge others to join you to fund The Worldview in 5 Minutes.

”But the fact remains, with all the changes that have happened in our lifetime—whether we're “boomers,” “Gen Xers,” “Millennials,” “Gen Zers” or whatever comes next—one thing has never changed nor will it ever change, and that is the amount of time we all have.”  That's a quote from Hyrum Smith's book, The 3 Gaps: Are You Making A Difference You can subscribe to this podcast on:  Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Areas of Focus: The Foundation Of All Solid Productivity Systems.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. One thing you may have noticed is that there are many things we have to or want to do, yet there never seems to be enough time to do them. You are not alone. Everyone feels this either all the time or at least some of the time. The reason is that it's true. There will always be more to do than time available to do it.  This means we should approach the problem from a different angle.  Traditionally, people have spent extra hours trying to catch up. Working late or even working the weekend. Yet, is throwing more time at the issue the best solution?  I don't think so.  We live one life. Our work is just one part of that life. If you work an average forty-hour week, your work only accounts for around 25% of your time. Yet, for many people, their work causes 80% or more of their stress.  This week, I want to share some ideas and a paradigm shift in how you think about the tasks you have to do and the time you have available. It's a simple shift, but one that will reframe your relationship with time and ultimately give you more time for the things you want time for.  So, without further ado, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Marcos. Marcos asks, Hi Carl, I struggle to keep up with all the tasks in my task manager. Most days feel like I am adding more tasks than I complete, and my inbox is now full. Todoist won't allow me to add any more. How do you cope with an ever-growing list of things to do? Hi Marcos, thank you for your question.  There could be a number of reasons for this. One of the most common ones is moving any email you need to respond to into your task manager's inbox.  You don't need to do that. Instead, you can create a folder in your email system and call it “Action This Day”. Then, any email you need to act on—reply, read, forward, etc. You place it there.  Then, add a recurring task in your task manager that tells you to “clear my Action This Day folder”.  That will remove many tasks from your task manager. It will also begin the process of changing the way you think about things to do and the time you have available to do them.  It's no longer about how many emails you must reply to; it's about when you will work on your emails.  Other things that can clog up a task manager are articles and newsletters to read, YouTube videos to watch and books to buy.  All good stuff, but since so many of these are non-urgent, you would be better putting them in a dedicated note in your notes app.  That way, when you do have time to read or watch these, you can open up your notes app and choose something.  I covered this recently in one of my YouTube videos. There is information we like to collect—articles, YouTube videos, etc., often the easiest thing to do is to add this information to your task manager's inbox. After all, reading or watching them is something to do. Yet, the worst place to collect these items is your task manager. There's no urgency to read or watch these. We can do it anytime. Perhaps we're waiting at the doctor's office, or, in my case, for my wife somewhere.  In these situations, I can open my notes app and, depending on my mood, choose between reading or watching something—my notes are always on my phone.  So, Marcos, one of the first things you can do is to remove all these non-urgent informational items from your task manager and move them to your notes app. I would add that a great place to read articles is something like Instapaper or Read. Both of these apps are designed to collect newsletters and articles.  Using tools like these gives you a central place to read your saved articles. It's like having your personalised curated news feed.  The only addition is finding a regular time to read what you collect. The problem with keeping these in your task manager is that you're not reading them. Moving them out of your task manager and into a read-later app is just shuffling things around if you are not committing to a daily reading time.  When I commuted to work each day, I read these articles on bus and train journeys. This prevented me from getting sucked into the negative news cycle and clickbait headlines.  My news feed was free of junk and algorithmically generated stuff I was no longer interested in.  And there is another tip for managing the things we have to do. Having a set time each day for doing the things we want to do.  The challenge we all face today is that everything is so convenient; we can pretty much do anything at any time. You can set up a bank account, apply for a credit card, and even buy a car online today.  You don't have to leave the comfort of your own home.  In the past, if we wanted to open a bank account or buy a new car, we would have to go to a specific place. Going to these places meant we needed to schedule time to go.  I remember when I was in car sales and couples would come in either in the evening or at weekends. During the weekday, things were relatively quiet for us. Time spent with a customer would typically be around an hour or two.  So the customer had to go to a showroom intentionally, talk to a human being and in most cases test drive a car.  Now, if you can do almost anything at any time from anywhere, the challenge becomes, what do you do now?  If you are task counting, you're putting yourself into an impossible situation. The number of tasks you have to do is not within your control.  You do not have control over what your boss or customers will ask you to do today. You don't have much control over what your partner or family members may ask you to do. You also don't know when they will ask you to do something.  By focusing on what you have to do, you're setting yourself up for overwhelm.  Instead, you will find focusing on when you will do something a much more realistic approach. Not only do you put yourself back in control, you will also be working within a realistic system.  This system is called time-based productivity, and it's been around for a very long time.  I've tracked it back to 1918 with the Ivy Lee Method. That's where you wrote down the six things you want to get done the next day, and when the day began, you started with the first item and worked your way down the list until the end of your work day.  Anything you did not get done would be moved to the list for tomorrow. It's simple and based on a realistic evaluation of how much you could get done in a day.  From there, it advanced throughout the century to when we began using things like the Franklin Planner.  Something went wrong in the early 2000s. Somewhere along the line, we stopped calculating how much time we had available to do things and began focusing on the things themselves.  Well, that's an impossible situation. You'll always have stuff to do. If you focus on all that stuff, you're going to feel anxiety, stress and overwhelm.  If you want to stop the struggle Marcos, then returning to a time-based system will do that for you.  The first step is to look at all the tasks you have to do and categorise them. You will have admin and communication tasks—we all do. Then there will be tasks related to your specific work. If you work with clients, then there will be client work to do. If you work in management, there will be management duties you will need to perform.  Once you know what your categories are, you can then allocate specific time for doing those categories of work.  Let me give you an example of this with email. Imagine you get 150 emails a day. Of those, around thirty require you to take action. When you process your email, you move those actionable emails into your action this day folder, and either delete or archive the rest.  This leaves you with thirty emails that require some action from you.  If you were to allocate an hour each day for dealing with your actionable emails, you will always have time to respond to your email. Sure, some days you may not be able to clear them all. However, if you consistently spend an hour a day on these, you will never develop a significant backlog.  Most days you will be ahead; other days you might be slightly behind. But you won't feel it's out of control.  You can also apply this to your admin tasks. Admin tasks have a habit of building up over time because they are generally low in urgency and importance.  If you were to give yourself thirty minutes or so each day for admin tasks, you would find that no backlog is building up, and you are, for the most part, on top of things.  You can do the same for your client work. If part of your responsibilities is to send out proposals to customers, then allocating some time each day for doing this means all you need to do is refer to a list of proposals to write, and for that allocated time, you do as many as you can.  That list may be in a CRM system or a simple note in your notes app. Your calendar will tell you that it's time to write proposals. You then go to your list of proposals to write, and start.  This way, you won't need to use your task manager. I do this with my coaching clients. Every day, I allocate an hour to writing feedback for each client. The list of feedback to write is in Evernote. Some days, there will be six or seven pieces of feedback to write, and other days, perhaps only two or three.  I know I can write around three pieces of feedback in an hour. This means if I do this every day, nobody is likely to be waiting more than 48 hours for their feedback.  I'm not focused on how many pieces of feedback I have to write. All I am focused on is writing the feedback in the hour I have to write it. I will write as many as I can. No pressure. Just begin with the oldest and carry on down the list.  And that, in a nutshell, is what time-based productivity is all about. It's not about how much you have to do. It's about how much time you have available to do the work you have to do.  If you have enormous backlogs now, you may need to increase the time you allocate to specific work periods for a little while. That actually helps because it means you are learning new habits and processes for getting the work done, which ultimately speeds you up over time.  So there you go, Marcos. I hope that has helped. Take a look at your task manager. Remove individual emails and stuff to read or watch.  Then in Todoist, use the labels to categorise your work and use those categories to protect time in your calendar to do the work.  Be consistent with this and you will soon find that the overwhelm and struggle diminish.  Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.   

It's Thursday, June 19th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Christian Indonesian boy died after Muslim students beat him An eight-year-old Christian boy died in Indonesia from a ruptured appendix on May 26th. This came days after older Muslim students beat him severely, sending him to the hospital.  Khristopel Butarbutar faced bullying for his faith leading up to his death. Morning Star News reports his father said, “A week before, he had been bullied a lot. The perpetrators speak about his ethnicity, his religion.” Sadly, bullying at schools in Indonesia is escalating. There were 1,478 cases in 2023, up from 119 cases in 2020. Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.” United Kingdom decriminalized abortion up to birth The U.K. House of Commons voted Tuesday to effectively decriminalize abortion up to birth in England and Wales. The amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill ends the prosecution of women for getting an abortion at any stage of pregnancy. The measure must also pass in the House of Lords.  Catherine Robinson with Right To Life UK said, “This is the first time this extreme abortion amendment has been debated in the House of Commons, and there has been no consultation with the public on this seismic law change. We will be fighting this amendment at every stage in the [House of] Lords.” Supreme Court upholds state's right to ban transgender surgeries for kids In the United States, the Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law yesterday that protects minors from transgender drugs and surgeries. The high court ruled 6-3 in the case. The liberal dissenters were Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan. and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Chief Justice John Roberts, who authored the majority opinion, wrote that the issue should be decided by the state. He said, “Having concluded that [the law] does not [violate the equal protection clause], we leave questions regarding its policy to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process.” The ruling will also support 26 other states with similar laws to protect children from transgender drugs and surgeries.  Kraft/Heinz will cut artificial dyes from food The Kraft Heinz Company announced Tuesday it will cut artificial dyes from its U.S. food products by 2027. This comes after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced measures in April to phase out petroleum-based synthetic dyes from the nation's food supply. U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said, “For too long, some food producers have been feeding Americans petroleum-based chemicals without their knowledge or consent. … That era is coming to an end.” Daily Bible readers thrive more than non-daily Bible readers The American Bible Society released the third chapter of its State of the Bible USA 2025 report. The survey used the Human Flourishing Index from Harvard University which measures six domains of life, including satisfaction, health, purpose, character, and social relationships. The report found people who read the Bible every day scored 7.9 out of 10 on the index compared to 6.8 for those who never read the Bible. Also, younger generations tend to have the lowest levels of flourishing. However, both Gen Zers and Millennials who engage regularly with Scripture scored an impressive average of 8.1 on the index.  Psalm 119:105 says, “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Old Nordic letters carved into Canadian bedrock spell the Lord's Prayer Archaeologists recently announced the meaning of centuries-old Nordic runes, or alphabet letters, that were carved into the Canadian bedrock, reports CBC News.  Ryan Primrose, the director of the Ontario Centre for Archaeological Education, has been studying the letters since their discovery in 2018.  He believes they were written by Swedes who were hired to work at trading posts in the Canadian wilderness in the 1800s.  The 255 characters of Nordic runes or alphabet actually spell out the words of the Lord's Prayer in Swedish. They appear to come from a 1611 runic version of the prayer. The runes cover a square of about four feet by five feet and probably took weeks to carve. Worldview listeners in Texas and California share their hearts I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email.  You can share your thoughts — along with your full name, city and state — and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Christy Quinn in Grapevine, Texas said, “We love listening to The Worldview in 5 Minutes as a family. My 10-year-old says she enjoys hearing about Christians around the world, what they are doing to God's glory and how the world treats them. I enjoy the Biblical perspective on current events and politics including those sound bites. The intro music and your closing ‘Seize the day for Jesus Christ' is a hit. My kids are excited to listen.” Ben Duhem in Eureka, California said, “The Worldview helps my wife and I stay on the same page about certain topics and geopolitical events. I read dozens of articles every day and am extremely well-informed about current events, but I mostly carry the burden alone. “I like to keep my wife and children in somewhat of a protective bubble to maintain their innocence, joy, and hope. When I share too much of what I read, my wife becomes very disheartened. She is busy homeschooling, gardening, cooking, and cleaning, all day, every day. So, she does not have time to read the news or process the political analysis that I used to try to distill for her. “The Worldview is the one source of news she tries to make time for each day. It's short and sweet. And she receives inspiration from the scriptures and calls to join in prayer. So, it's the one source of news that she asks me about and we discuss and pray about together. It helps us stay bonded.” 3 Worldview listeners gave $849 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $92,625 goal by this Friday, June 20th  to fund three-quarters of The Worldview newscast's annual budget for our 6-member team, 3  listeners stepped up to the plate.

Are we Raising Lazy? Dr. Phil speaks with a helicopter mom about her extreme parenting and its impact on her son's future. He also examines Gen-Zers who are quietly quitting. Do they really think that approach will work in the long run?      Dr. Phil will speak with Gina, who says she wears the label of a hovering helicopter mom to her 13-year-old son Stanton as a “badge of honor." Gina says she proudly goes to great lengths to protect her teen son, even if that means carrying a GUN when they're out together. Then young adults claim they are not lazy at all; they are just misunderstood and are ready for their older generation counterparts. Dr. Phil will speak with Michelle, a veteran trial lawyer and law firm owner, as well as married small business owners Lucie and Eric, who say they are concerned about the future of the young workforce. The debate begins when Dr. Phil introduces Toyin, who says her Lazy Girl Job is not about working less it's about protecting her time and energy. Dr. Phil also speaks with Ryan, a Labor Law Attorney who says he is a champion for the Quiet Quitting and Lazy Girl Job movement. Plus, Dr. Phil speaks with Shyra, who claims she doesn't think jobs are necessary at all.   Special thanks to our sponsors! Support the brands that support us!

Some schools are offering so-called adulting 101 courses, teaching Gen Zers basic skills like cooking, cleaning or changing a tire. Some social scientists call it “delayed adulthood,” the phenomenon of younger people lacking life skills that past generations took for granted.

It's 2025, and if you're a Millennial or Gen Zer, there's a good chance that you are qualified to manage and lead other people, even run for political office. Yes! Even you, the person who shares "I'm just a baby" memes!

This week on the "Tuesday People" podcast, Mitch Albom explores the topic of the hidden perks of college life. With 51% of Gen Zers questioning whether college was worth it, and rising costs making many think twice, the value of higher education is under the microscope. But as Mitch shares, the true worth of college ofte"n goes far beyond the classroom. From lifelong friendships and critical life skills to the priceless experience of gaining independence and navigating the space between adolescence and adulthood, Mitch reminds listeners why college can be an invaluable chapter—no matter what's printed on the diploma.

Eashan shares how his childhood love of mathematics evolved into a passion for computer science and artificial intelligence, emphasizing the critical need for students to understand technology that will shape their future careers.Did you know that a number of Gen Zers consider AI the biggest threat to their future employment? Rather than feeding these fears, Eashan is tackling them head-on through his educational initiative "Empower with AI" and his work with the youth-driven organization Encode Justice. He breaks down complex concepts like large language models into kid-friendly explanations while highlighting both the opportunities and risks this technology presents.Parents and educators will appreciate Eashan's thoughtful approach to balancing AI tools with academic integrity as he discusses how school districts nationwide are responding to AI in the classroom.

So many business owners get frustrated because they feel like many times employees are freeloading or they're just lazy throughout the day. And the more we talk about this, the more we realize that many people think it has to do with the generations. Does it? I'm not sure. Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose and I'm super excited to be able to talk to you about this because we were just in Providence, Rhode Island last week at the JLC Live doing a couple of talks and workshops there. One of the questions we got was about this issue with employees. We simply responded: is it your employees or is it you? You might think that millennials are lazy trophy collectors or Gen Zers are phone-addicted and directionless, but I think it might be a little different. And there's another question we've got to ask about that. Hey, before I go any farther, go to businessonpurpose.com/healthy and you can take a healthy assessment and understand the back-end clarity of your business—part of what I'm going to be talking about today. So here's the question we need to ask: how do you capture their attention? It's less about asking, "Are they lazy?" and more about asking, "Why are they lazy?" and "How do you capture their attention?" In a modern world, attention is one of the most valuable currencies we have. Time and attention are irrevocable resources—once spent, you cannot get them back. If you want to vie for the attention of any generation, not just the younger ones that we often blame, but even the older ones like me and above, there's one key element you need to focus on. Here's your silver bullet. You ready? You probably need to write this down. It's one word, starts with a C: Clarity. Employees crave clarity more than anything else—more than money, perks, and benefits. But many organizations make the mistake of waiting to provide clarity until after new hires have started. The approach is backwards. Clarity should be present from the very beginning, even before day one. Your hiring process is a preview of what potential employees can expect if they come to work with you. If it's chaotic or non-existent, then guess what they're going to assume? They're going to assume their experience is going to be chaotic and non-existent too. The same goes for your onboarding process. Many companies either do not have a structured onboarding program or, if they do, it's disorganized. The lack of clarity can lead new employees to start looking for their next job on their very first day. Now, of course, they're not going to leave on day one, but they'll start looking. Some organizations and businesses pride themselves on a "throw them to the wolves" approach to new hires, then wonder why nobody wants to work anymore. But that's not the real issue. Young adults do want to work—it's part of human nature. The problem is that they don't want to work in chaos. Back 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago, you really didn't have many options. You just had to go to work where you went to work. But now people have options. As business owners and leaders, it's our responsibility to provide clarity as an antidote to chaos. This does not mean coddling employees or lowering expectations. Instead, it means creating an environment where people understand what's expected of them and how their work contributes to the bigger picture. When you provide clarity—your mission will help significantly with this—you are more likely to have employees who not only want to work but want to bring their best efforts every day. They will be motivated to give what Chick-fil-A calls their "full-time best effort" because they have a clear understanding of what they're working for and why it matters. Clarity is not just about explaining tasks or roles; it's about creating a transparent, even vulnerable, well-structured environment where employees can thrive. When you prioritize clarity from the start, you're setting the stage for engaged, committed employees who are ready to contribute their best work. So it may be worth asking yourself and your team: Where are we not providing clarity? From before we start hiring, through the hiring process, to the onboarding process after they've been hired—and not only that, but also for our existing team—where are we not being clear? Meet together and work on that. If you want something to implement, go to mybusinessonpurpose.com/healthy to take that assessment. Also, our new book The Chaos Free Contractor is out. Little hint: it's a really good book for any business owner, but it's targeted specifically to contractors. So if you're a contractor or a contractor-support business, make sure to grab a copy of The Chaos Free Contractor. You can find it on our website and also on Amazon.

Bruce and Gaydos explain how AI has impacted the way young Gen-Zers view college education amidst the height of AI.

Tonight, Shawn and I—one of our coaches—are heading up to the Northeast where we've been invited to speak and present to a group of contractors in Providence, Rhode Island at the JLC LIVE convention. We're super excited about it. When we attend trade shows and talk to contractors—or really, any other business owners—we hear a common refrain: "Nobody wants to work anymore." As we listen to the complaints, we can't help but smirk a little bit. It's easy to blame Millennials or Gen Zers, but is that really the root of the problem? Is that why we can't build a loyal crew or retain the top talent we've been looking for—let alone even find it? Recently, I received an email with a subject line that said this—I'm not making this up: "Jason quit. This sucks. I'm hating Millennials." While it's tempting to point fingers at younger generations, the reality is a little more complex than that. It's not that people don't want to work—it's that they don't want to work in chaotic environments that lack clarity and direction. And now, they have something previous generations didn't: options. In the past—the '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s—you didn't have as many ways to go out and create work for yourself. But now? People have choices. So let's consider a different perspective: what if the issue isn't with the workers, but with the work environment you're providing? Are you offering a workplace that attracts and retains talent—or are you unknowingly pushing potential employees away? I'm about to share what I believe is a silver bullet—a tool that finds and retains talent better than anything else in business. Now, of course, you're going to be skeptical. I would be too. That's understandable. But I urge you to keep an open mind. If you believe this could be true—if this is a silver bullet—think about the potential impact on your business. Imagine being able to find and retain the talent you need. The solution might be very simple. Maybe even obvious. You might roll your eyes. But I challenge you to pause and consider its power. What if this one thing could transform your ability to attract and keep great employees? The key lies in this: creating an environment—or culture—of transparency, vulnerability, and purpose. Before you turn this off, just hang with me. I'm going to give you something concrete. It's about offering more than just a job—it's about providing a vision, a clear path forward, and a sense of belonging. When you offer consciousness and conciseness in your business operations—via captured processes and clear communication—then your business, through a less-than-10-word mission statement, can create a workplace people want to be part of. Right now, we're going through an interview process for a new role. The longer we go through our process, the more excited the candidates become. It's actually making it harder for us—because we're going to have to turn people away. Why is it getting harder? Because they want to work here. They see the vision—because we've shared it. They see the mission—because we've shared it. They see the core values—because we've shared them. And they say, “We appreciate this.” One of the most common things we hear back is: “I've worked with businesses that say all this, but don't do anything about it.” People—especially younger generations—notice. And yes, I said people, because this applies to all generations. But especially younger ones. They're looking for more than just a paycheck. They want to feel valued, understood, and part of something meaningful. So by focusing on clarity in your business practices and communication, you can create that kind of environment. What does that include? Weekly, agenda-driven, leader-led team meetings Weekly, one-hour departmental meetings Predictable one-on-one check-ins Annual performance feedback so team members know what's expected Executive team using a “Big 5” feedback loop, so their communication back to the team is clear and consistent And here's the big question: do you have these things written down? Before you blame an entire generation for your staffing woes, you need to take a hard look at your own business. Are you providing clarity and purpose? Here's a simple litmus test: Are your vision, mission, values, org chart, job roles, checklists, scorecards, and KPIs written down? If not, then they don't exist. The solution to your hiring and retention problems might be closer than you think. It starts with you. And it starts with writing things down. Need help? Hop on a call with one of our coaches.

Welcome back to Shorty time! We do a quick catch up on: Blue Origin glam, the Minecraft Chicken Jockey theater craze and ask, who will co-star with Taylor in The Bodyguard redo? We hit on small talk smarts and why Gen Zers give a thumbs down to thumbs up emojis. JK also shares listener reviews and we ponder the recent explosion of downloads from all over the world. Plus, new Picks of the Pod!

If your communication strategy only works for half your crew, it's not a strategy—it's a risk. And in the trades, that risk doesn't just affect productivity—it affects safety, morale, and retention. Today's job sites are made up of multiple generations working side by side, each with their own preferences, assumptions, and expectations around communication. You've got Boomers printing out emails, Gen Xers living by their calendars, Millennials juggling inboxes and Slack messages, and Gen Zers who'd prefer a quick text over a long meeting. When leaders fail to adapt their communication styles to meet their people where they are, messages get lost, accountability slips, and trust erodes. We see this breakdown most often when companies introduce new tools or systems—like that HRIS app everyone's supposed to download but no one knows how to use. Without proper guidance, the disconnect between intention and execution widens. What starts as a missed message becomes a safety issue. A dropped thread turns into a missed deadline. And an overwhelmed employee—who might have thrived with a little extra support—becomes your next resignation. In this episode of The People Strategy Podcast, Traci Austin sits down with Dawn Hart, HR leader at Center Phase Energy and founder of Manage with Hart, to unpack the nuances of generational communication in the trades. Dawn brings more than three decades of HR experience across construction, utilities, and finance, along with sharp humor and clear-eyed leadership advice. Traci also introduces a concept called the Tough Talk Audit—a framework for leaders to address misalignment before it becomes a retention issue. Whether you're rolling out new systems, running storm crews, or simply trying to get your team on the same page, this episode offers the clarity and empathy leaders need to create communication strategies that work for everyone.

Last month, Founder of Up and Up Strategies, Rachel Janfaza, published an op-ed in the Washington Post detailing how the pandemic and politics have created a stark divide between older and younger Gen Z. Now, many of them are in their early twenties, Gen Zers continue to develop a cynical view of the future.  Kennedy sits down with Rachel for a candid conversation about her peers and how TikTok's rise in popularity in 2020 continues to affect how twentysomethings operate daily.  Follow Kennedy on Twitter: @KennedyNation Kennedy Now Available on YouTube: https://bit.ly/4311mhD Learn more about your ad choices.

There are a few things about millennials that Gen Zers find nostalgic and cozy. What are they, and what's shaping the 13–27-year-olds?

For the latest edition of the Artnet Intelligence Report, which is now free to download, Artnet columnist Katya Kazakina wrote a wide-ranging cover story about the state of play in the art industry. Titled “New Money, New Taste,” it charts a revolution that is underway in the market, amid what has been dubbed the Great Wealth Transfer. Economists, Kazakina reports, believe that $84 trillion in assets will change hands over the next 20 years—that's trillion... with a T. Gen Xers will inherit $30 trillion, millennials $27 trillion, and Gen Zers $11 trillion, according to one study. (Huge amounts of money!) She writes, "Their values, taste, and investment decisions will help determine the next cohort of top artists—who's in and who's out, who will endure and who will not." Could longstanding kings of auction houses, like Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso, be dethroned? Will new names—and new types of material—arise to take their place? Everyone is guessing, aiming to protect their assets while angling for business. All of this is happening against the backdrop of an art market marked by intense uncertainty, following some very tough years, as data in the Intelligence Report shows. The whole industry feels unsettled and off-kilter, and firms of all sizes are trying to figure out how to navigate the situation. This week on the podcast, Editor of Artnet News Pro, Andrew Russeth, speaks to Kazakina about her reporting.

Thousands of students are getting baptized into the faith on American college campuses. Godly curiosity is blooming among Gen Zers. Around the world communities are turning to Jesus. God is on the move, but could we miss it?
