In this episode, we chat with Megumi, a Northwestern University student athlete who's got some real talk about what it's like to be Gen Z right now. She opens up about her work with the Evanston Special Olympics and how it changed her view on what success in sports really means. But that's just the start.

Megumi doesn't hold back when it comes to the job hunt struggle. She breaks down how weird it is that we're all told to be unique, but then companies just want to see the numbers. It's like, what gives? And don't even get her started on those robot interviews.

We also dig into the whole social media thing. Megumi's got some thoughts on why her generation is so into the 90s and early 2000s vibe. It's not just about the fashion - it's about missing a time when we weren't all glued to our phones 24/7.

Speaking of phones, we get into how they've changed the way we talk to each other. Megumi shares how watching "Sex and the City" with her mom is like looking at a whole different world of hanging out and dating. It's wild to see how much has changed, but also how some things about being human never do.

This conversation's got it all - laughs, real talk about the challenges Gen Z faces, and some surprising insights about how different generations can actually connect. Whether you're trying to figure out your own path or just want to understand what's up with the kids these days, Megumi's take is fresh, honest, and might just change how you see things.
