In our insanely overstimulated and infinite world of social media, trying to communicate your brand's message loudly to multiple generations simultaneously is like trying to juggle flaming chainsaws while riding a unicycle on a tightrope. As consumer decision-making becomes more collaborative and family-oriented, marketers must channel their inner circus performer and adapt their strategies to appeal to a diverse range of age groups. Each generation comes with its own quirks, preferences, and communication styles. The higher education sector is a perfect case study for this multigenerational marketing clusterf**k. As Gabriel Welsch, VP of Marketing and Communications at Duquesne University shared on the podcast this week, "In 90% of cases, the parents are a huge part of the decision, and increasingly the grandparents, because for millennial parents, whose kids are now growing and starting to look at college, the grandparents often were the caretakers. So they're very invested in their success as well." It's like a family reunion, but instead of arguing about who makes the best potato salad, they're debating which college has the most impressive dining hall. Below, we'll dive headfirst into the challenge of multigenerational marketing, using insights from the higher education sector and time spent talking with Garbiel Welsch as our guide. We'll explore each generation's unique characteristics and preferences, uncover best practices for crafting cohesive brand messages that resonate with audiences across the age spectrum, and equip you with the tools and knowledge needed to become a marketing superhero.

In this thought-provoking podcast, I delve into a controversial topic that has been making headlines lately - how millennials and Gen Z maybe are bankrupting their parents. With the skyrocketing costs of education, housing, and healthcare, young people today are struggling to make ends meet, and many are turning to their parents for financial assistance. But as more and more Gen Xers are reaching retirement age, they are finding themselves unable to retire and are even going into debt to support their adult children. How did we get here, and what can be done about it? Don't miss this eye-opening podcast that will challenge your assumptions about intergenerational wealth and the true cost of modern life.

Today, I'm joined by Ganza Moise, a Rwandan writer and filmmaker, to talk about his art and the Rwandan film community. We unpack the themes and artistic direction of two of his recent independent films, “Sensory Overload” and “Mazunga.” Ganza describes the unexpected ways that he frames characters and explores philosophical, existential questions that so many of us grapple with. He also touches on the transitional nature of his generation and highlights some of the filmmaking and distribution challenges in Rwanda. “Sensory Overload” is an audio-visual experience based on Natacha Muzira's poem about the liberating power of imagination. He explores similar themes in “Mazunga,” which is about a taxi motorcyclist who is forced to face his internal conflicts when the whole world shuts down during the pandemic. In our conversation, Ganza explains why he's drawn to these types of stories and breaks down his artistic process. I ask Ganza about the generation of Rwandans who teeter the Millennials/Gen-Z line. He illustrates how he and his peers are doing a lot of talking, thinking, and creating to find their cultural identity in a country that is very ambitious, but also mourning the atrocities of genocide from the not-to-distant past. Part of the country's rapid growth is reflected in the film scene. Ganza is the co-founder of KIRURI mfn, an arts production and distribution company. He shares his insight into how Rwandan filmmakers are getting their work in front of larger audiences and how he's working to amplify their art. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Castbox, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:●      What drew Ganza to filmmaking ●      Powerful scenes and themes of “Sensory Overload” and “Mazunga” ●      How Ganza seeks to make sense of his experiences and internal conversations through art●      Challenges that Ganza and other Rwandans of his generation are currently facing  ●      What's happening with the independent film scene in Rwanda Guest Info:●      Ganza's Instagram ●      KIRURI mfn YouTube Follow Me:●      My Instagram ●      My LinkedIn●      My Twitter●      Art Heals All Wounds Website●      Art Heals All Wounds Instagram●      Art Heals All Wounds Twitter ●      Art Heals All Wounds Facebook●      Art Heals All Wounds Newsletter

Friends, Veterans Day is a time to honor those who have fought to protect American democracy, especially those who gave their lives so that our democracy can endure. We have just emerged from midterm elections that have tested that democracy as it has not been tested since the Civil War. In large part, our democracy passed that test. We are indebted to all candidates who peacefully and responsibly conceded defeat, and to all election workers who worked so diligently (and in several states are still working) to ensure the legitimacy of the elections. The aspect of the midterm elections that gives me most hope for the future is the growing ranks of the young — as well as people of color and women — among American voters and in American politics. By 2028, Millennials & Gen Z'rs will dominate U.S. elections. This is why the GOP is pulling out all the stops to entrench Republican power. They know they don't stand a chance against a multi-racial, progressive generation of young people that will make the GOP's backwards ideas irrelevant.They are the Republican Party's worst nightmare.The latest data prove the point. In this weeks' midterm elections, 27 percent of young people (ages 18 to 29) turned out — the second-highest youth voter turnout in almost three decades.These young people helped decide critical races. In a group of nine electorally competitive states for which exit poll data is available (Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin), the aggregate youth voter turnout was 31%.In Michigan, the early youth vote was up 207 percent from 2018. In Pennsylvania, up 318 percent. In Wisconsin, up 360 percent.Young people were a critical force in holding back a “red wave.” They supported Democratic House candidates by 62 percent to 35 percent.According to AP VoteCast, an in-depth survey of more than 94,000 voters nationwide, 61 percent of voters younger than 45 backed Democrat John Fetterman in his  Pennsylvania Senate race. What accounts for these astounding numbers?Start with Trump, who continues to be deeply and justifiably despised by most young people. He wasn't on any ballot, but he made his presence as conspicuous as he always does. Trump insisted on campaigning loudly and belligerently. Most Republican candidates joined in his big lie that he won the 2020 election.Next is the stark political reality that young people -- the first generation in America to be subject in school to active shooter drills – want action on gun violence. They also want progress on the climate crisis, presumably because they'll be living longer with its consequences than anyone else. And they're passionate about preserving reproductive rights.Don't get me wrong. The growing numbers and political power of young people, as well as people of color and women, is not an argument for complacency.To the contrary, it means Republicans will now be even more determined to suppress their votes. Fighting voter suppression in all its forms -- making it easier rather than harder to vote – should continue to be among our highest priorities.We can also expect more cruel divisiveness from the Trumpian Republicans, especially if, as seems most likely, they take back control of the House. How to fight this? Not with more belligerence, which only kindles more of the same. No, we fight it with openness and civility.  Third, we must continue to do everything possible to relieve the economic burdens borne by young people, women, and people of color – especially the escalating costs of housing, childcare, and higher education, and the scarcity of good jobs paying a living wage.The encouraging reality is the inevitability of these long-term demographic trends: a nation that's younger, more female, and with more people of color -- and, largely as a result, more progressive.“History was made tonight,” tweeted Maxwell Alejandro Frost, the first Gen Z'r to be elected to Congress Tuesday night, at the ripe age of 25. “We made history for Floridians, for Gen Z, and for everyone who believes we deserve a better future.”Indeed. Anyone worried about the direction this nation is heading still has much to be worried about. But we should find some solace in the young people who are committed to redirecting it toward social justice and democracy.

The U of SC football program had just won the first Bowl Game in the 100-year-plus history of the school.   After joining the rugged and tough SEC in 1992, the Gamecocks were still struggling to be the elite SEC teams like Florida and Tennessee.   Tennessee had a young QB with a head-turning last name…Manning.  We had a pony-tailed enthusiast named Taneyhill, along with two offensive lineman, two running backs all headed eventually to the NFL.   We were desperate for a signature win in the SEC. JAMES DEXTER STORY at Tennessee turning the table over, driving down to the five yard line  2nd and 1 (5 yard penalty): (7:40) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jPj3LKGMhc Blocked FG Returned 95 yards for a TD (9:51): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jPj3LKGMhc 56 - 21 Final Score… Often, in life, sports, and business, we do desperate things in desperate times in order to solve desperate problems. The last 2 years have created a desperate longing.  Let's articulate the challenge that you are up against today. PAIN - Skyrocketing material and sub Pricing, Uncertainty, Subcontractor frustrations, Schedule delays, unrealistic clients, and PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE! Let's think through some of the desperate things you (or someone you know) may have tried in the midst of a desperate situation in your business… Go more intensely after deposits, draws, or receivables Maybe you're in a habit of using tomorrow's deposits, to pay yesterday's payables Hiring Marketing companies to get more leads/sales b/c “Sales solves everything right????”…even though we don't have measure in place to manage the money even if it did come in Tried to buy bulk material and it's dropped your cash flow Build Bonus structures and increased base comp, b/c “more money means people will stay longer” Just putting your head down and doing it yourself…”it's just easier” Tried to fix your schedule, or job costing, or projections schedule…but it just takes too much time Hired new PM's and Supers, Fired old PM's and Super's Hired your brother or your cousin, or your son Take on more work even though you are way behind on receivables and never properly job-costed previous job to understand profitability We are running around, spinning in circles, a slave to an over-heated market, the client, to the employee, to the sub, to the vendor. And we just want it to STOP.  Just for a second so we can catch our breathe.  Talked to a custom builder in Kentucky two weeks ago who said, “I'm actually looking forward to a market slow down.” I was waiting for lightning to strike.  You had a grueling week, and then you have a Saturday where you are fired up about a late breakfast where you are going to eat donuts, cinnamon roles, pancakes, bacon, cheese grits… then after you're done, you turn on a game on tv watching world-class athletes and think, “I need to work out!”  Chaos can often translate to unhealthy habits because we are vulnerable.  In the chaos of the pricing increases or material delays, we tend to rest in the false comfort of cash flow, while KNOWING that we are neglecting the discipline of purpose, process, and systems that will create a long term FIT-ness for us, our team, and the mission we are on in our business. I've seen it reported recently that both Quarterback Russel Wilson and basketball mega-star Lebron James each spend over $1 million on the health and fitness of their mind and body. Here is a hard reality…trying to control pricing and material logistics is like trying to control the weather…you can't control the weather, BUT you can forecast and adjust plans based on the latest information…and PRE-PARE. I love the world prepare…it's actually two words in Latin    Prae (Pre) = before   Parare (pare) = make ready How do we make ourselves and our business ready BEFORE the next step? A friend of mine, Chad Jeffers is the lead Dobro player for Carrie Underwood.  He was passing through Columbia, SC a couple of years ago as we were in town and we had coffee in the lobby of the downtown hotel he and the other band members were staying at. I asked Chad a simple question that I had never asked, “what is it like to play in front of all of those people?”  His response was sobering.   He mentioned that most nights he forgets where he is at, and that the “repetition of the event” can get quite boring.  In order to be great and find joy in touring, you've got to go back to THE FITNESS of your repetition and training. In preparation for Carrie Underwood's Las Vegas residency shows, Chad said… "Typically for tours (including Vegas) we will rehearse for a month and half to 2 months (7 days a week) prior to the first show. Personally, i prepare for the rehearsals about a month prior to that (especially if we are learning new music). " Kobe Bryant was 41 when he and his daughter died tragically in a helicopter crash in January of 2020.   He was notorious for his relentless work ethic.  Writers Scott Davis and Connor Perrett chronicle some of Bryant's more remarkable disciplines. Practice from 5a to 7a…in High School Shaq said he would practice without a basketball…just visualization and mind preparation Had Nike alter a few millimeters off the bottom of his shoes to achieve “a hundredth of a second better reaction time” You must “love the process…the daily grind…this generation loves the results too much.” - Kobe Bryant's conversation with Nick Saban “I loved preparation more than the competing part” - Kobe Bryant's conversation with Alabama Football Team NBA Scout in 2008. -“Allen Iverson loves to play when the lights come on.  Kobe loves (playing) before the lights come on.” -  Here is a question for us.  It's easy to scream, yell, turn over tables, run out of the tunnel with a new idea, rally the troops for a momentary push. What about you?  In the face of unpredictable pricing and material concerns, and personnel challenges, and disrupted construction schedules…will you commit to play BEFORE the lights come on?? The best bourbon is PREPARED before it's aged and evaporated.  The best wine is PREPARED with full ingredients before it sits. Some of you are coming to the BuildExpo hoping for a hail mary, hoping for a silver bullet, a bright idea that will change the game for you.   I want to offer you something else.   When explorer Ernest Shackleton was preparing for his Trans-Antarctic Expedition, he needed the right team.  It is said that he published an advertisement… "Men Wanted for Hazardous Journey.

STORY The U of SC football program had just won the first Bowl Game in the 100-year plus history of the school.   After joining the rugged and tough SEC in 1992, the Gamecocks were still struggling to be the elite SEC teams like Florida and Tennessee.   Tennessee had a young QB with a head-turning last name…Manning.  We had a pony-tailed enthusiast named Taneyhill, along with two offensive lineman, two running backs all headed eventually to the NFL.   We were desperate for a signature win in the SEC. JAMES DEXTER STORY at Tennessee turning the table over, driving down to the five-yard line  2nd and 1 (5-yard penalty): (7:40) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jPj3LKGMhc Blocked FG Returned 95 yards for a TD (9:51): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jPj3LKGMhc 56 - 21 Final Score…we were  Often, in life, sports, and business, we do desperate things in desperate times in order to solve desperate problems. The last 2 years have created a desperate longing.  Let's articulate the challenge that you are up against today. PAIN - Skyrocketing material and sub Pricing, Uncertainty, Subcontractor frustrations, Schedule delays, unrealistic clients, and PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE! Let's think through some of the desperate things you (or someone you know) may have tried in the midst of a desperate situation in your business… Go more intensely after deposits, draws, or receivables Maybe you're in a habit of using tomorrow's deposits, to pay yesterday's payables Hiring Marketing companies to get more leads/sales b/c “Sales solves everything right????”…even though we don't have measure in place to manage the money even if it did come in Tried to buy bulk material and it's dropped your cash flow Build Bonus structures and increased base comp, b/c “more money means people will stay longer” Just putting your head down and doing it yourself…”it's just easier” Tried to fix your schedule, or job costing, or projections schedule…but it just takes too much time Hired new PM's and Supers, Fired old PM's and Super's Hired your brother or your cousin, or your son Take on more work even though you are way behind on receivables and never properly job-costed previous job to understand profitability We are running around, spinning in circles, a slave to an over-heated market, the client, to the employee, to the sub, to the vendor. And we just want it to STOP.  Just for a second so we can catch our breath.  Talked to a custom builder in Kentucky two weeks ago who said, “I'm actually looking forward to a market slow down.” I was waiting for lightning to strike.  You had a grueling week, and then you have a Saturday where you are fired up about a late breakfast where you are going to eat donuts, cinnamon rolls, pancakes, bacon, cheese grits… then after you're done, you turn on a game on tv watching world-class athletes and think, “I need to work out!”  Chaos can often translate to unhealthy habits because we are vulnerable.  In the chaos of the pricing increases or material delays, we tend to rest in the false comfort of cash flow, while KNOWING that we are neglecting the discipline of purpose, process, and systems that will create a long term FIT-ness for us, our team, and the mission we are on in our business. I've seen it reported recently that both Quarterback Russel Wilson and basketball megastar Lebron James each spend over $1 million on the health and fitness of their mind and body. Here is a hard reality…trying to control pricing and material logistics is like trying to control the weather…you can't control the weather, BUT you can forecast and adjust plans based on the latest information…and PRE-PARE. I love the world prepare…it's actually two words in Latin    Prae (Pre) = before   Parare (pare) = make ready How do we make ourselves and our business ready BEFORE the next step? A friend of mine, Chad Jeffers is the lead Dobro player for Carrie Underwood.  He was passing through Columbia, SC a couple of years ago as we were in town and we had coffee in the lobby of the downtown hotel he and the other band members were staying at. I asked Chad a simple question that I had never asked, “what is it like to play in front of all of those people?”  His response was sobering.   He mentioned that most nights he forgets where he is at, and that the “repetition of the event” can get quite boring.  In order to be great and find joy in touring, you've got to go back to THE FITNESS of your repetition and training. In preparation for Carrie Underwood's Las Vegas residency shows, Chad said… "Typically for tours (including Vegas), we will rehearse for a month and half to 2 months (7 days a week) prior to the first show. Personally, I prepare for the rehearsals about a month prior to that (especially if we are learning new music)." Kobe Bryant was 41 when he and his daughter died tragically in a helicopter crash in January of 2020.   He was notorious for his relentless work ethic.  Writers Scott Davis and Connor Perrett chronicle some of Bryant's more remarkable disciplines. Practice from 5a to 7a…in High School Shaq said he would practice without a basketball…just visualization and mind preparation Had Nike alter a few millimeters off the bottom of his shoes to achieve “a hundredth of a second better reaction time” You must “love the process…the daily grind…this generation loves the results too much.” - Kobe Bryant's conversation with Nick Saban “I loved preparation more than the competing part” - Kobe Bryant's conversation with Alabama Football Team NBA Scout in 2008. -“Allen Iverson loves to play when the lights come on.  Kobe loves (playing) before the lights come on.” -  Here is a question for us.  It's easy to scream, yell, turn over tables, run out of the tunnel with a new idea, rally the troops for a momentary push. What about you?  In the face of unpredictable pricing and material concerns, and personnel challenges, and disrupted construction schedules…will you commit to play BEFORE the lights come on?? The best bourbon is PREPARED before it's aged and evaporated.  The best wine is PREPARED with full ingredients before it sits. Some of you are coming to the BuildExpo hoping for a hail mary, hoping for a silver bullet, a bright idea that will change the game for you.   I want to offer you something else.   When explorer Ernest Shackleton was preparing for his Trans-Antarctic Expedition, he needed the right team.  It is said that he published an advertisement… "Men Wanted for Hazardous Journey. Small Wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success."  The advertisement may not be true, but Shackleton's expedition with his crew aboard the “Endurance” was heroic and transformative for an entire British society.

Join us to discuss who is who of the generations. From the Boomers who invented the 40 hour work week to the Gen Zs who created the pocket pussy. Who is the best generation? Maybe Millennials may never know what It's like to be debt free but at least we lived during the BBL generation. All in all we can all agree Gen X had it best with their music, drugs, and credit cards.

Gen Z, which is usually defined as those born between 1997 and 2012, is expected to make up 27% of the workforce by 2025. And they're coming into organizations led by people from older generations who already have well-formed biases and expectations about them (including Millennials). In this episode, we focus on the younger perspective. While Millennials have been represented on this podcast, we wanted to invite in voices that are closer to the Gen Z age range. What motivates them? What expectations do they have for the future? What expectations do they have for leadership, employers, and organizations? Though earlier in their career, the youngest members of our organizations bring a different view of work and the world, one we can get value from if we listen with an intent to learn.

After going home for the holidays and spending time with our families we knew it was time to talk about menopause. In this episode we work through the questions we have about perimenopause, menopause, and what our moms wish they would have known. Menopause leave needs to be a thing. There is SO MUCH misinformation on the internet. We barely get period education and menopause is not at all talked about. Society hates aging women and has unrealistic expectations Perimenopause and menopause are diferent Perimenopause can last 10 years Estrogen changes impact your bone density and cardio tissue as well as lean muscle mass. There are SO many companies profiting from our insecurity and unrealistic beauty standards. We need to start learning about menopause along with periods.

Getting to Know the Millennial and Gen Z in the Church and What They Want: Cultivating Momentum in a Peculiar Age with a Digital Crowd In this episode, host Devin E. West and guest Dacari J. Middlebrooks discuss how they were raised in predominantly African American Protestant churches – what they were told to do as well as what they were not told. Among other things, they will also talk about how Millennials/Gen Z stay connected to the church and how our new normal with virtual worship can help them be a positive and creative voice for the church. Our guest, Dacari J. Middlebrooks, is a huge advocate for human development and a chief catalyst for social and cultural change. He earned his Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree from Vanderbilt University. Inspired by his own battle with depression, Middlebrooks authored his book, “The Depressed Millennial: Surviving Unmet Expectations.” It is his hope that those battling depression, particularly Millennials, will find inspiration in his story, seek treatment, and survive the unmet expectations levied against them. His book can be found on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Depressed-Millennial-Dacari-J-Middlebrooks/dp/171860582X Host Devin E. West currently serves as the pastor at Pilgrim Baptist Church in Hamilton, OH. He has earned a B.A. in Pastoral Counseling and a Master of Divinity (M.Div.). Pastor West is currently pursuing his doctorate at Union Institute & University in the Ethical and Creative Leadership program with a focus in Transforming Leadership. Pastor West is very active in the community, working closely with city leaders, officials, and pastors. He has worked on various boards and helped to energize organizations with his exuberance and commitment. He has held positions such as Dean of Christian Education and associate dean. He seeks to bridge the gap of racial divide that continues to hinder and hurt our churches, leaving them bereft of change.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkqILwMRRJA Andy Bizub, Midwest Performance Cars in Chicago is also a native of Chicago. His first career was 25 years as a commodity trader. He entered the professional auto industry in 2014 by acquiring a failing shop in downtown Chicago that he was a customer of and started a turnaround. Andy now has two locations. He bought his first car at age 19, a 1972 Triumph Spitfire, which was the start of his gas, oil, and automobile obsession. Listen to Andy's previous episodes https://remarkableresults.biz/?s=%22bizub%22 (HERE). Joe Jerkins, Owner Westside Auto Pro, Clive, IA. Joe has been in the Automotive Industry since 2007 when he joined a tire and mechanical repair chain store after spending multiple years in grocery store management.  He did not know anything about the industry and had no mechanical background but had a passion for helping people and sales.  After having spent some time there, he joined a dealership as a Service Advisor and quickly rose to the number 1 advisor based on sales at his dealership.  An opportunity as a Service Manager arose at a local repair facility and Joe decided it was time to get back into management as he was getting his legs under him in the automotive world.  After his second child was born, Joe sought an opportunity at his hometown dealership to run the Fixed Operations including Service, Body and helping oversee Parts.  In 2013, after realizing that there was a lot of “wrong” in this industry, generally speaking, he decided it was time for one last try with a shop he knew nothing about called Westside Auto Pros.  Joe was hired as the Service Manager and after a couple of years his title changed to General Manager.  In 2018, Ron Haugen, the owner at the time, and Joe decided to accelerate their 5 year plan of purchase and by October 1st of that year, Joe was the brand new owner of the already successful Westside Auto Pros.  Westside Auto Pros continues to grow its repair shop as well as its towing and roadside assistance department. Patrick Ryan, Technician, Eagle Automotive, Columbine Hills, CO, 4 Locations Key Talking Points What is important to dealership technicians transitioning to independent- make it apparent the technician matters in your business. If they quit at the dealership it wouldn't be noticed. They were “just a number.” Minimal and sometimes decreasing benefits. Interviewing dealership tech- discuss your team culture and environment. Many techs bounce from dealership to dealership because they are still finding “their place.”Don't view working at multiple places as negative necessarily. Show them a path for all ages of your technicians. Don't have a “cookie-cutter” interview process for all your hires. Career change- wanting to grow and be challenged, feel appreciated. Millennials/Gen Z- raised with no gravity “everything is great.” Introduce gravity a little at a time. Be taught instead of blocked. Be guided. The owner needs to be vulnerable- voice it to your team Break down stereotypes of large dealerships Technicians will check your social media prior to applying and read customer and employee reviews- promote your shop is a great place to work   Connect with the show: http://aftermarketradionetwork.com (Aftermarket Radio Network) http://youtube.com/carmcapriotto (Subscribe on YouTube) https://remarkableresults.biz/episodes (Visit us on the Web) https://www.facebook.com/RemarkableResultsPodcast (Follow on Facebook) https://remarkableresults.biz/insider/ (Become an Insider) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/carm (Buy me a coffee) https://remarkableresults.biz/books/ (Important Books) Check out today's partners: This episode is brought to you by Shop-Ware Shop Management.

Halo teman Nanie Kania the Podcast, pada episode 11 berjudul Komunikasi Politik bagi Millenials & Gen Z kali ini, saya berbincang dengan Dr. Idham Holik, komisioner KPU Jawa Barat yang sebelumnya juga sempat mengampu mata kuliah komunikasi politik di berbagai kampus. Di sini saya bertanya kepada Pak Idham mengenai tantangan penyelenggaraan Pilkada Serentak 2020 di masa pandemi yang diikuti oleh 270 daerah, khususnya 7 Kabupaten dan 1 Kota di Provinsi Jawa Barat. Mengapa kita belum menerapkan e-voting padahal sudah sangat mendesak, mengingat kita harus membatasi aktivitas di ruang terbuka demi memutus penyebaran COVID-19 dan mencegah timbulnya cluster pilkada. Bagaimana pula prospek pemilu online di negeri ini? Pak Idham juga menjelaskan soal mediatisasi politik dan weaponization of social media. Selain itu, kami pun berbincang mengenai demokrasi di era new media yang sarat hoax dan fake news. Diskusi ditutup dengan literasi elektoral dan literasi media yang harus dimiliki oleh Millenials dan Gen Z untuk mewujudkan demokrasi di Indonesia yang lebih mapan.

This week we took one big tangent and discussed our dilemma with having a side part v.s. a middle part. We are a part of the border generation between Millennials and Gen Z, and we talked about what that has looked like for us at different periods of our lives. There's some conflict going on between the two generations right now, so we thought it'd be a good time to voice our thoughts and experiences with each. Of course we couldn't forget to touch on the Karens and Boomers of the world as well. Thank you for supporting our pod!

This week, I had to come on the pod for a solo episode to talk about the seemingly never-ending Presidential battle. Considering what this year has been, this seems to be the climax of it all - and I happen to be here in Washington DC to see it unfold in realtime. In this episode, I chat about the moment the projection was announced, DC's reaction, and the overall takeaways I had from the election (including the critical role Millennials/Gen Z had in election awareness). I am hoping this episode helps you to look at things with a different lens, something I strongly believe everyone needs now with the world being pulled in so many different directions. Hope you enjoy!

Over the last few weeks my heart has been stirred in regards to Millennials and Generation Z. On today's episode I speak directly to both of these generations, and have a few things to say to parents and also to the Church in the Unites States.Support the show (https://randygoudeau.com/onlinegiving)

In this episode, we hear from two young professionals. Both of them have worked hard and carefully planned their careers, but now they’re confronting the anxiety and uncertainty of economic forces beyond their control. Then host Morra Aarons-Mele speaks with The Atlantic’s Annie Lowrey about the collective psychological and financial impacts economic crises can have on entire generations.

Pre-covid conversation between Rob Hildebrand and Alin Vrancila on why Millenials and Gen Z's leave the church and what we should do about it. This is even more relevant today when churches are on zoom and social media and you can see the microphones muted or the camera's turned off. You can also see who is missing from the services altogether. Listen, reply and let us know what you think.

Andrew Savikas of getAbstract stops by the club to discuss the results of a recent survey, and what it can tell us about generational attitudes toward lifelong and professional learning. 

Recently the phrase "okay, boomer" has become a popular meme, joke, and rebuttal across social media. But have you ever stopped and thought...where did the phrase come from? Why do I, a young person, find it so funny and also so relatable? Well, this is the podcast for you. On this episode of Millennial Trash, we take a look at the political and historical nuances that cause the generational tension between Boomers/Gen X and Millennials/Gen Z.  Have you ever wondered how Boomers affected the economy? Want to know why your grandpa cares so much about how convenient life can sometimes be for young people? Why does Karen always feel the need to speak to the manager? Why do 50% of Boomer marriages end in divorce? Tune in!  **Yes, this did not get posted on Tuesday. Yes, I am behind on my post schedule. Yes, I will do better, scouts honor.** --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/william-leitch/support

Welcome to this bonus episode in which I'll share some recent research on Millennials and Gen Z in the workplace. This week I am talking with several great guests and just haven't decided yet who I'll air on Friday. I'll make a decision by Thursday and post a Trailer then. According to InsideOut Development, more than 75% of Gen Z employees believe they should be promoted in their first year on the job, these findings from a recent survey of 1,000 individuals ages 18 to 23. These findings are something for HR and Hiring Managers to think about so they can best manage the expectations of this newest generation to join their workforces.

Whether you believe that change is going to impact your business 2 years, 5 years, or 10 years from now, Ira S Wolfe has some breaking news.  There is something extraordinary happening.  And many of us haven’t noticed. We go about our business as usual while the environment in which we operate is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. Whatever time frame you believe you have to adapt… cut reduce it by half. The future is happening much faster on a greater scale than ever before. That was his message during an interview with Curt Tueffert, VP of Sales Development at DXP Enterprises. As an example of how quickly things are changing, he mentioned that he wrote and published Geeks, Geezers, and Googlization in 2009, just 7 years ago. The oldest Millennials were under 30 and the youngest just became teenagers. And Steve Jobs hadn’t yet unveiled the iPad yet while smartphones were in still their infancy.  Today the oldest Millennials are 36 years old and the youngest are eligible to vote. There are 2,638 smartphones are sold, 24,733 apps are downloaded from the Apple store, and 3, 437,500 videos are viewed on YouTube…every 60 seconds!  Watch this short video (https://vimeo.com/179740436) about other events that happen every minute! That’s just the tip of the iceberg. While many organizations are still trying to figure out how to recruit, manage, and market to Millennials, Generation Z has entered in the workforce and college. Things are changing so fast and on such as scale, the U.S. military about 25 years ago realized it needed a new game plan. It came up with a pretty funny acronym to deal with it. They called it VUCA which stands for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous.  It’s a brilliant assessment of the how unpredictable and fragile our world can be at times.  Apparently I’m not alone in feeling that way because many organizations and businesses have adopted VUCA as their baseline of a new normal too. So how can management as well as individuals silence all the noise and get a clear direction and understanding of the immediate and not-so-distant future?
