The Gen Z Expert on How to Attract Tomorrow’s Guests and Today’s Talent

On this episode of Suite Success, host Katie Cline talks with Dr. Meghan Grace—generational researcher, podcast host, and resident Gen Z expert—to break down what makes each generation tick and how those insights can unlock better hiring, stronger culture, and more thoughtful guest experiences. Meghan shares why Gen Z is craving more than a paycheck—and why hospitality might be the perfect match. From purpose-driven work to inclusive environments and visible growth paths, this generation isn’t afraid to walk away if they don’t see a future. She also reveals how outdated messaging and stale employer branding are holding companies back from connecting with the next wave of talent. Whether you’re hiring or hosting, Meghan’s insights will help you meet Gen Z where they are—and build something they want to be a part of.
