This week we travel to Kennesaw State University and chat with Gen-Z students about what they think is the #1 issue currently facing their generation.

In this pt. 1 of many forthcoming future followups, you'll hear directly from normal gen-z people about the impacts of social media, communication challenges, mental health boundaries, and lack of employment.
