🎙️ Ep 18: Gen Z vs Millennials – Can We Talk?

Loading player...
This week on Things We Learned on a Monday Morning, we step into the generational ring but with curiosity instead of critique.
From avocado toast to iced matcha lattes, side parts to center parts, Gen Z and Millennials have clashed over everything from fashion trends to work culture. But beneath the memes and the misunderstandings lies a deeper question: Can these two generations find common ground and actually communicate, meaningfully?

In this solo episode, Jason unpacks the stereotypes, explores the real tensions, and shares stories, laughs, and lessons that might just help bridge the gap. Whether you’re writing “lol” or 💀, this episode’s for you.
