Teach Me Three - Charlie

Gen Z is constantly evolving—from the language they use to the way they travel, work, connect, and adopt new technology. In this episode, Dr. Meghan Grace kicks off a new #GENZ series where members of Gen Z teach her three things they think the rest of us should know. Her first guest is Charlie, a 23-year-old Butler University graduate, young sales professional, and Meghan’s former roommate—and longtime unofficial Gen Z correspondent. Charlie teaches Meghan what it means when something is “chopped,” introduces her to the anxiety-inducing world of “airport theory,” and explains why he believes Gen Z’s early adoption of AI could become a major advantage. Along the way, they talk about generational differences, social media, digital habits, and why a generation known for being chronically online may also be learning when it’s time to put the phone down. It’s a lighthearted conversation about what Gen Z is actually thinking, doing, and talking about—and what the rest of us might learn by simply asking.
