The Badass Brand Builder with Emily Hester Emily Hester Join Emily Hester, a 24-year-old entrepreneur, each week as she discusses her journey in starting and running a creative business, as well as branding and marketing as a GenZ business owner! And don't worry, there's still a bit of pop culture, too! Explicit Look Alive Shakti Parmar, Cristian Peña We focus on topics that Gen Z(high school) finds relevant in their daily lives told by high schoolers. We talk about society, science, sports, and really whatever we're feeling that day. Explicit The Business Uplifted Podcast Business Uplifted The Business Uplifted podcast is a progressive shift in thinking to help you elevate your business and team to new levels. In some respects, it's also a matter of unlearning what we have been taught in business as rules to live by - that has led us down a path of team disengagement and lackluster results.The hosts, Aly and Mandy, share stories of having been raised in their corporate career by Baby Boomers that shaped their views of business- that they now spend their days unlearning. They consider themselves Gen X’ers with the hard outside shell of a Baby Boomer masked in a warm “why can’t we all just get along?” heart of a Millennial, while secretly wondering if they could pull off yoga pants at work like Gen Z. Their unique perspective is sure to spark a shift in thinking and place you on the path to changing the dynamics, operations, and performance of your business or department so that you can create a business UP-lifted! Explicit Why the F@#! It Matters Maggie Rockwell Listening to and understanding politics is often the last thing the average millenial or Gen Z wants to spend their time doing; enter your new favorite podcast. Why the F@#! It Matters brings our young adult generation into the world of politics with a bi-weekly discussion of the week's biggest political topics and why YOU should care about them.
