Our first episode as a party of three! Dr. Regina Luttrell and Dr. Karen McGrath have co-written three books one of these books is about the business of craftbrewing called, Brew Your Business: The Ultimate Craft Beer Playbook, and the other two are generational books: The Millennial Mindset: Unraveling Fact from Fiction, and Generation Z: The Superhero Generation.
During our interview, we focus on the cultural characteristics and traits of Gen Z and how they differ from Millennials and Gen Xers. From cancel culture to soft skills, to their relationship with mass media, to their values on travel and money, we can all use this insight to better understand and communicate with a generation that will impact this world for centuries to come.
