About this listen
What happens when a Gen Zer walks into a workplace that wasn’t built for them… and decides to remix the whole thing? 👀
In this episode, Jonathan sits down with Zach Conklin — a 3+1 business student at Elon University earning three degrees in four years (casual flex), juggling multiple jobs, entrepreneurial projects, and a front-row seat to how Gen Z is changing the future of work.
They get into:
✨ Why Gen Z brings an entrepreneurial mindset into every role (not just startups)
✨ Redefining success without the comparison spiral
✨ Why doing one thing really well beats doing everything halfway
✨ Being underestimated for looking young — and how to own your seat at the table
✨ AI, adaptability, and why future leaders need to evolve (or get left behind)
✨ How to stay authentic while learning how to navigate different spaces
It’s honest, funny, thoughtful — and a reminder that you don’t have to follow outdated rules to build a career that actually fits your life.
If you’re a Gen Zer figuring it out, a leader trying to understand the next generation, or someone ready to stop shrinking and start building on your own terms — this one’s for you.
🎙️ Until next time — stay empowered, stay out, and keep building your future on your own terms.
