What Matters to Gen Z Employees
In this episode of Torch Talk, Lindsey sits down with two members of the Fierce Creative Solutions team, videographer and photographer Garrett, and SEO specialist Vinny, for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation about work, growth, and figuring things out in your 20s.
Garrett and Vinny share what they’ve learned in their first years at Fierce and how work, life, and learning look a little different for their generation. The conversation dives into what it’s like to work in a fast-paced agency, how to balance high standards with personal growth, and why failure isn’t the opposite of success. It’s part of it.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
• What it’s really like working in marketing straight out of college
• Lessons learned from early mistakes (and drone malfunctions)
• How teamwork, communication, and flexibility shape company culture
• The generational shift in how young professionals define success
• What employers should know about leading and motivating Gen Z teams
It’s a real, funny, and insightful look inside agency life from two voices learning what it means to build careers with curiosity, courage, and humility.
