Very insightful episode! Let me know what you all think! If you could also do me a massive favour and hit the like button that would be amazing, it helps this channel out massively 🙏
Seems like he doesn’t know the current problems Gen Z is facing when it comes to employment. Nowadays employers have big advantage with massive immigration and economic problems. They keep new hires just to the end of their probation period and fire them to get someone new and repeat the cycle. I never quit a job on my own but was let go a week before my probation ends at three different companies (they never say the reason, probation period allows to do it many many times and even years without explaining why that employee wasn’t a good fit and they need to hire new people every three months). So within a year I have three different work places all lasted only for 3 months, not even mentioning what it took me to even get to an interview. Gen Z cannot afford not to work, we have to pay our bills like everyone else and it causes major depression to not be able to have full time employment when you are at your youth and want to work hard for your future.
24:43 I really get the mindset is a privilege part of you and I feel like this way of thinking is very unique and I would agree with you and argue about Simon's point. Even the argument that simon has there are people that their unprivileged lives is the reason they became a good version of a human being I consider that to be a privilege by itself. A person and a personality is what they are because of deterministic reasons. Having an unhealthy mindset it's because of many deterministic variables.
It's true that we CAN control our minds, but most of the time we don't. We are on autopilot and let our emotions decide our thoughts and actions. Mindfulness and awareness are prerequisites to deciding what to think, and it's very difficult to do so, as our mind wanders off without much control from our side.
Ten years ago this guy was slagging off millennials, now he's moved onto gen Z. Clearly his formula for success works. He's made a career of generalising entire generations, and from a very Western privileged point of view. No energy to watch this, as he keeps chewing the same 3 points.
I fear running electric jobs. I never wanted any of it but there are not enough people coming in. I’ve been forced to move up but it’s sucks because my work distributing electric doesn’t allow me to have a family so I work for slave wages. Not enough to quit but not enough to thrive. The dollar has no value so how will you compensate me?
I'd appreciate it if you mentioned whether he's an inspirational speaker without formal credentials. I'd like to enjoy your videos casually without needing to research every intriguing idea I hear from your guests.
I have a lot of GenZ workmates and they always feel entitled but they are always asking for their worth is not the right place and for that I say they are always scared of getting that conversation because they don't want to damage their mentality 😭 but they have to overcome that because it will really help them.

Good points. Learn basic life skills from those with experience. Never date a woman with a KAREN haircut. Guys, get more play when you pickup some cooking skills. Let's get cooking with Master Chefs .
I hate how un-nuanced the part about defending a workers time boundaries are. The guest keeps saying "I know you don't work weekends/meetings after 5; but I need you this once." If you've ever been asked to do extra, it's never just "this once". The average employer takes the piss out of any worker who does more than expected; and why not? The employee will just get burnt out, and the company can just look through their back log of applications to find the best fit.
I disagree with the "gen-z being the least resilience generation" chapter. I understand that y'all as employers are looking for people with years of experience who have been in the highs and in the lows. This is a good but narrow point, that's the point of working at a place for 2+ years and doing your job well if you'll never caught up to other senior employees. There's always the chance you get "laid off" or the company going bankrupt. You might be the exception but employers / companies nowadays are laying off more than ever before.
The thing with so many young people quitting and demanding a better work life balance is that these big companies are lying. I work for a big corporation. And they sell themselves as this amazing place to work with amazing benefits and amazing opportunities, but they leave out the fact that it's an insanely hard job. We have had so many people quit, because they get burned out or they just can't handle the work. It's super tough. My company toots it's own horn a lot as well, and all the management drink the Kool aid super hard, when in reality they are just another corporation making billions from our hardwork at the bottom. I like my job, but it's brutal and very hard work but I can also see my younger coworkers objections to the company because they can be very shady. I just wish companies especially giant corporations were more transparent about how tough the job actually is and how hard it is to move within the company
I think I understand what he is saying by mindset. When you hear positive affirmations that empower you and give you courage this helps you to believe you can do what you set out to do and when faced with challenges you are reminded of your worth from these encouraging words and you can move forward with confidence through the ups and downs of life. I also agree with someone believing in you. Then you hold onto that person's encouraging words more strongly in order to empower you to make courageous decisions.

Gen Z people also lack in critical thinking

This dude is crazy omg… corporations greedy 100% there’s literally no advice
Trust me, swiping right on an app doesn't remove the risk of rejection. That was just a silly thing to say.

That editing in the intro is evil
👌👏👏

Love it how Simon lays out on respecting self and self space, seems like most needed these days around…!

I loved this episode! This is about Gen-Z and parents out there.
There are so many things to learn, thanks for this kind of content!

Simon is a miracle to this generation…This man is totally out of this world. His understanding and how he thinks is just different…what a man!!

Simon sinek is a charlatan. He did nothing for nobody. All he does is to sound good. He never said anything meaningful ever

I think Steven's question is a bit disorganized, and his way of speaking is headache-inducing compared to the guest.
Don't even have a job to apply. Labor markets need 5+ exp. New grad like me are f up 😂

My take from this Podcast:
Societies are complex and solutions may come from unexpected quarters. Complexities are based on the understanding that people evolve day in, day out.
I think I understand what he is saying by mindset. When you hear positive affirmations that empower you and give you courage this helps you to believe you can do what you set out to do and when faced with challenges you are reminded of your worth from these encouraging words and you can move forward with confidence through the ups and downs of life.
