Episode 16: My 13-Year-Old Has Thoughts on Your Meeting Culture

What does work look like to someone who hasn't entered the workforce yet? In this episode, Kyra sits down with her 13-year-old son—right on the cusp of Gen Z and Gen Alpha—to explore how the next generation is already forming opinions about work by simply observing the adults around them. From his unfiltered take on the meeting-project-meeting cycle to his pragmatic views on money, flexibility, and what makes a job "worth it," this conversation reveals something striking: the expectations of younger Gen Z aren't radical, they're human. Kyra weaves his insights with global research from Deloitte and Harvard Business Review to explore whether Gen Z is rejecting work itself, or just the parts of work culture that have been broken all along. If you've ever wondered what the next wave of workers will demand, or what we're unconsciously modeling for them, this episode will make you think.
