Mind&Body@Work
Gen Z is entering the workforce with new perspectives and expectations.
In this podcast, we’re here to listen to their stories and experiences – their successes and frustrations - and help employers understand the mindset and perspectives of the up and coming workforce.
Employers can’t dictate what their young employees find meaningful—what they can do, however, is empower them to create their own sense of purpose and authentic connections.
Our curriculum is designed to help them do exactly that, EV Leader Lab is committed to paving the way for more curious, engaged and connected, young professionals in the workplace.

Our guests in this episode have chosen to use their
influencer identities - Ruby and Zatare (or just Z). Ruby and Z are in a relationship and they actually met through their respective influencer channels. Both Ruby and Z entered the workforce as young adults and both of them have chosen to focus on charting their own course rather than seeking a career through employers.
Be patient in learning about Ruby and Z’s background and experience, because interspersed are some of the key cultural and philosophical issues. We learn how Ruby and Z see the tradeoffs that Gen Z workers will be making as they decide to how to shape their path to making a living and living a good life.
For example, one insight is that while doing your own thing provides much greater flexibility, it comes with the constraint and pressures of still needing to make a living. Ruby shared that she prefers self-employment because there are days when for health reasons she physically cannot accomplish all of her typical tasks but she can stay engaged in her work goals while taking care of her health needs. In contrast, in a typical employment setting, she’d either have to buck it up and neglect her health, or call in sick and not contribute or get paid at all.
The interview also touches on: what Gen Z workers aspire to and what they believe is possible, what is behind the rise in do it yourself, crafts and trade, how Ruby and Z view leaders and leadership opportunities, as well as is Gen Z feeling lonelier than previous generations? And much more.
