#073 - Theo Watt & Eve Young - The Problem With Millennials

Theo Watt and Eve Young are the hosts of the Socials Minds Podcast and Copywriters at Social Chain. We talk about millennials and Gen Z like homogenous groups, but technology and innovation have made it problematic to index generations by 15 year gaps. A person who is 12 will have little in common with someone who is 27, as will a person who is 25 have little in common with someone who is 34. And yet, despite online platforms allowing you to target by age, world view and even household income now, there are those that still tar all millennials, all Gen Z, or worse, millennials and Gen Z together with the same brush. Theo & Eve lay out their issues with the current classification system for young people as a whole and explain exactly why it's not only inaccurate but also damaging to the members of that group.

#053 - Garrett J. White - What Does It Mean To Be A Man? Wake Up Warrior

Garrett J. White is the founder of Wake Up Warrior, Creator of Warrior Week & Author of Warrior Book. There is turmoil for both men & women on what our gender roles demand of us in modern society with one of the primary questions being "What does it mean to be a man?" Today I'm turning to Garrett for answers as a coach who has helped thousands of men to become an upgraded version of themselves. Raw and unfiltered, Garrett has a very intense view of what masculinity means and how men should behave, but behind the brutish delivery is a focus on truth being paramount and taking charge of your personal sovereignty. I'd love to hear your opinions, so drop me a message and let me know your thoughts.
