The Yellow Room: A Wantonly Optimistic Podcast

Define Experience: The Generational Gaps in Understanding (With Riya Goel)

Join Benjamin Chipman and GenZ Icon and author Riya Goel for a discussion on GenZ in the Workplace, claiming our place, and owning our generational differences as agents of change.  This an episode for the do-ers or those who aspire to be do-ers. This is about asking why not today, instead of I’ll do it tomorrow. GenZers have long been a generation of people doing nontraditional work, but how do you quantify it? How do you communicate all the things you’ve done as a GenZer who has been forced to live so many lives? Generationally there have been shifts in access to opportunity for us as digital natives and there hasn’t yet been an understanding of that intergenerationally.  Join us in conversation about the generational gaps in understanding between what’s expected of GenZ and older generations and when the pressure goes too far.  Read the GenZ Book HERE [https://www.amazon.com/Gen-Z-Book-about/dp/1636768261].  Follow Riya HERE [https://www.instagram.com/riya.goel_/?hl=en].

Why Not Me? Dismantling Lucky Girl Syndrome

By now, we've all heard the phrase Lucky Girl Syndrome and one of our friends probably told you that they're in their delusional era (it might've even been me). BUT, is this really a sustainable practice for growth?
