Gen Z's Pulse: Innovations, Ideologies, and Inclusivity

Greetings?

This past week I have been experimenting (again) with my LinkedIn content. Feel free to let me know if there is anything you would like me to cover ??.

I am back on TikTok again, so I am learning who to follow + how to keep up with Gen Z trends. A big one I see is the NFL games and Taylor Swift turning young girls + women into lifetime football fans.

This week I will be covering:

?? New CMOs on the Block: How Gen-Z social media managers are redefining marketing leadership, thanks to Zaria Parvez.

?? Ideological Divide: Unpacking the growing liberal-conservative gap among young men and women globally. A tale of two perspectives!

?? Educational Shifts: From the British university system's hidden truths to New York's innovative visa proposals for student founders.

And more....

Side note: I created a 2024 Market Predications presentation to stay up to date with current trends + I want to feature Gen Z investors, creators, and investors so DM if interested??

Caught my eye...

• How Gen-Z social media managers became the new CMOs- Zaria Parvez
• A wide ideology gap is opening up between young men and women under 30 across the globe. Gen Z girls are becoming more liberal while boys are becoming conservative. The same is true in Germany and the UK, where women are ~30 and ~25 points more liberal. Sidenote: I wrote a little bit about this here.

?? Reflective Pause: A Verse to Contemplate

"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." - Galatians 6:9

In a world where social dynamics, career paths, and technological advancements are rapidly evolving, this verse encourages persistence and resilience. As we witness the rise of Gen-Z in influential roles, the shifting ideological landscapes, and the constant pursuit of innovation in various sectors, let’s remember the importance of steadfastness in our efforts. How can this spirit of perseverance guide your actions and aspirations?
