Gen Z Journey
by Rio Penn-Grice, Aaron Pena, Joseph Rodrigues C.E.C
Gen Z Journey began as a realization that we could share the mentorship experience we have had with Joseph (Joe), along with the experience and knowledge that we have gathered in the world thus far. As Gen Z’s with a strong desire to support and advocate other people our age, we set out on a journey to provide a resource and value to aid our generation and beyond in our everyday lives. Some things simply cannot be taught; we believe that it is easy to pick up a textbook and learn, but you obtain a whole other unique understanding of the world when you connect with individuals and learn from their experiences. The Gen Z Journey is an opportunity to appreciate the experiences of others, with a focus on entrepreneurship, while also gaining a chance to meet other driven, like-minded people.
