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.

Today’s guest, Olaolu Ogunyemi, is a U.S. Marine Officer,
award-winning author, leadership mentor, and the founder of Parent-Child-Connect.
Olaolu equips parents, teachers, and aspiring leaders to raise confident kids,
lead with integrity, and leave a legacy that outlives them. And lately he is
sharing his wisdom with lots of young people entering the workforce. His new book,Lead Last, is a bold call
to servant leadership in a world obsessed with the spotlight.
More than any other guest we’ve had, Olaolu provides great
insights into how the armed forces are responding, and in some cases adapting,
to the entry of Gen Z.
Olaolu begins by sharing his unique way of helping people
understand the differences between how people have been raised in different
generations. His question of what is
your favorite Disney movie really gets the point across.
He also shares how Gen Z is showing up differently from
previous generations in the workplace, including clear strengths such as
technology, autonomy and collaboration, as well as advice for how
organizational leaders can encourage Gen Z rather than alienating them, based
on his experiences in the Marine Corps.
Thorughout this episode, Olaolu shares how his own
experiences growing up have informed his
advice for others and has inspired him to reach out to children and adults
through writing children’s books.
