Episode 124: The Struggles Between Generations | Jom Sembang, Malaysia

Every generation thinks they know best — that they’re better than everyone else. Boomers think Gen Xers are all waiting for hand-me-down success. Gen Xers think Millennials are irrational with their work-life balance proclamations. Millennials think Gen Zs rely too much on technology. And let’s not even get started on what we all think of Gen Alpha. In this episode, we discuss the struggles between generations and ask if we’re really all that different.
