Our guests in this episode have chosen to use their
influencer identities - Ruby and Zatare (or just Z).  Ruby and Z are in a relationship and they actually met through their respective influencer channels.  Both Ruby and Z entered the workforce as young adults and both of them have chosen to focus on charting their own course rather than seeking a career through employers.



Be patient in learning about Ruby and Z’s background and experience, because interspersed are some of the key cultural and philosophical issues.  We learn how Ruby and Z see the tradeoffs that Gen Z workers will be making as they decide to how to shape their path to making a living and living a good life.



For example, one insight is that while doing your own thing provides much greater flexibility, it comes with the constraint and pressures of still needing to make a living.  Ruby shared that she prefers self-employment because there are days when for health reasons she physically cannot accomplish all of her typical tasks but she can stay engaged in her work goals while taking care of her health needs.  In contrast, in a typical employment setting, she’d either have to buck it up and neglect her health, or call in sick and not contribute or get paid at all.



The interview also touches on: what Gen Z workers aspire to and what they believe is possible, what is behind the rise in do it yourself, crafts and trade, how Ruby and Z view leaders and leadership opportunities, as well as is Gen Z feeling lonelier than previous generations? And much more.
