Description

In this powerful episode, we dive into the mindset, values, and bold voice of Generation Z—those born roughly between 1997 and 2012. Often misunderstood or stereotyped, Gen Z is a generation shaped by global crises, digital fluency, and a deep desire for authenticity and justice.
 

My guest, Ruth Reitmeier, shares:

  • What defines Gen Z beyond just age
  • How growing up in a digital world shaped their identity
  • Their values: inclusion, transparency, mental health, and purpose
  • What Gen Z wants us to hear
  • Practical tips on how to communicate with Gen Z, not just about them
     

Whether you're a parent, educator, employer, or simply curious, this conversation offers fresh insight into the generation that’s not just the future—they’re already reshaping the present.
