Millennial Moments Intro
16/03/2019 Duration: 06minThis is a podcast where I, a millennial, speak with people of my generation and beyond to bust the millennial myth, dissect our insecurities, and amplify our tremendous strength. The podcast aims to open dialogues across generations and deeply ingrained beliefs, bringing us closer together while sparking excitement about our future, rather than the paralyzing fear the negative news cycle would suggest. I want to dive deep into the thick of it — the hurt as well as the growth and everything in between. So let’s talk. And in the process, I think we will find we are much stronger and much more equipped to take over the world than we, and our peers, may believe.
