Guesting Elliot Bewick, host of The Next Generation Podcast
In this episode of the Grateful Podcast, I engage in a thought-provoking conversation with Elliott Bewick, exploring the unique challenges faced by Gen Z in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. They discuss the paradox of living in a time of unprecedented success while grappling with feelings of dissatisfaction and disconnection. The conversation delves into the impact of social media on relationships, the struggle for authenticity in content creation, and the moral complexities of navigating a world filled with instant gratification. Ultimately, they emphasize the importance of gratitude, high standards, and the pursuit of meaningful connections in a society that often prioritizes superficial engagement.

We are victims of our own success right now.
Things are subjectively bad, but objectively they've never been this good.
We're suffering from contending with overabundance.
The events that keep on being fed to us don't give us the ability to see these slow burners.
You need not just the carrot, but the stick.
You can still be your authentic self by putting out amazing polished content.
It's difficult to have that historical context.
You have to stay curious, stay open and never die on the hill of something.
You need to be the type of person that puts the truth over discomfort.
You can build upon something you love.
