The Toolkit for Business and Life You Were Never Taught
Let’s be real: you don’t need more cliche advice and a lot of content doesn’t go deep enough. You need practical guidance you can actually use to help you overcome your challenges or achieve your goals.
Recent studies show most people today feel unsupported, underprepared, and overwhelmed by a system and management that teaches very little about navigating, leading, or thriving in the chaos of modern life.
This podcast is for anyone who’s ready to take ownership of their personal journey and needs a guide to support them along their path.
We take over 20 years of real-world experience, hundreds of field experiments, and the best of leadership, psychology, and personal development knowledge and turn it into clear, honest, and useful guidance you can start using right away.
No fluff, real talk, and real tools, to thrive at work and in life.
Hosted by Chris Miller and Dane Smith. Edited by Joseph Pitz.

S09E06: The Upside of Managing Gen Z
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Gen Z is often labeled as lazy, entitled, or difficult to manage.
But what if the problem isn’t the generation…it’s how we’re leading them?
In this episode, I break down what’s really going on with Millennials and Gen Z. You’ll learn why they are both the most advanced and, in some ways, the most behind generation, and how changes in parenting, education, and technology shaped that reality.
We also challenge the most common myths about Gen Z and highlight what they actually bring to the workplace, including adaptability, a growth mindset, and a willingness to question outdated systems.
Most importantly, we cover how to lead Gen Z effectively. From building trust and improving communication to shifting away from command-and-control management, this episode gives you practical insights you can apply immediately.
If you’re a manager, leader, or business owner trying to understand Gen Z and get the best out of your team, this episode will give you a clear, no-nonsense approach to leading the next generation.
