#millennials

Reflecting on the journey of self-discovery can be a transformative experience, especially in the digital age where likes and shares seem to dictate our worth. In my candid recount, I, Dr. Jason Wiggins, take you through the pitfalls of chasing societal standards and the triumph of crafting a unique personal narrative. From the pressures faced by Gen Z and Millennials to my own tales of typecasting and triumph, this episode is a heartfelt exploration of how to stand firm in your identity amidst the noise of conformity. We'll unravel the threads of authenticity and self-accountability, sharing why the most profound success is defined within.

Navigating the labyrinth of external validation is no small feat, and I’ll share how my own transformation led to an unshakeable sense of self-fulfillment. You'll hear about my transition from a youth craving acceptance to a fulfilled adult who found true impact lies beyond titles and societal accolades. But it doesn't stop there; we'll also delve into the crucial role of mental health support and the power of self-acceptance. Join me as we foster a conversation on personal growth and the strength that comes from celebrating our individuality. Your stories and engagement are the heartbeat of this dialogue, and I welcome your thoughts as we build a community that cherishes the journey of becoming our best selves.

Join us for an intriguing reflection on the complex dance between ambition and attainment, inspired by wisdom from Michael Jordan to Ayn Rand, as we uncover the pitfalls that could be sabotaging your journey to the top.

Maintaining our health and promoting personal growth isn't just a good idea—it's the bedrock of triumph in every aspect of life. I get real about my own struggles to stay fit and eat right amidst a hectic schedule, and I lay bare why taking responsibility for our actions is the foundation for transformation. If you've ever felt stymied by change or trapped in a cycle of blame, this episode is your wake-up call to embrace evolution and recognize the value of every minute. It's a candid look at the power of seeking assistance, not as a weakness, but as a brave step towards self-improvement and collective success.

Finally, we zero in on ten make-or-break habits that could be defining your path to victory—or leading you astray. From the dangers of unclear goals to the risks of playing it safe, we scrutinize the behaviors that hold us back and share actionable advice for breaking free. This is not just an episode; it's a strategic session aimed at reigniting your motivation and helping you carve out a unique and victorious path. So, join us.

We're not just talking touchdowns and field goals here; we're exploring how the challenges and triumphs, much like those in a Super Bowl showdown, are crucial parts of our personal journey toward growth and fulfillment. Tune in and discover how to celebrate every play, regardless of the scoreboard, by redefining what it means to win and lose with dignity and determination.

And amidst the inevitable setbacks? That's where true grit comes in. I'll share why persistence and motivation are your MVPs on the path to success, painting a vivid picture of how continuous effort—your tireless training camp—is what truly separates the champions from the spectators. So, grab your headphones and let's kick things off with the right mindset for winning at the game of life!

Then, let's tackle the beast of self-doubt together. I'll share my personal saga of metamorphosis—from underestimated to a beacon of empowerment—providing the kind of uplifting narrative that resonates with anyone fighting to make their mark. We'll explore the value of mentorship and the vitality of shedding worries that weigh us down. By the time you finish this episode, you'll be equipped to transform your wildest dreams into a set of actionable goals for the year ahead, all while shedding the fear of failure. Inspired by the likes of Thomas Edison, this conversation is a rally cry for resilience, leadership, and the relentless pursuit of success. Thank you for walking this journey with me, and for being an integral part of our community's growth and empowerment.

On this episode we are going to discuss some alarming facts from the January 2023 Singles in America Survey about singles of all ages, especially Gen Z. Here are a few:

· 117.6 million Americans or 46% of those aged 18 and over are single according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

· A quarter of Americans, including 35% of Gen Z and 30% of Boomers, say “I am not looking for a relationship”

· Eight in 10 Americans believe that finding the right partner is harder than finding the right job

· Six in 10 singles say that “dating is becoming an unaffordable luxury”

While we don’t need a relationship to feel complete, human beings aren’t meant to be alone. 

Joining me to discuss this major shift in perspective is Sebas Penaranda, host of the podcast The Sebas Perspective. Tune in to hear what I say about a sex robot that looks like Tom Brady!

Finding and continuously walking in your purpose can be difficult at times.  It can be even more challenging when you live in a world of comparison and high expectations.  For those young people in the millennial generation, this is often true.

How do you stay true to yourself when it seems like "everyone else" is doing more or better than you?  How do you pursue your dreams when your family doesn't believe it is possible but you've seen others be successful?

What do you do when you have not yet hit the major milestones in life that others have, such as getting married and having children? In this episode, my guest, NaQuandra Davis, and I discuss all that and more!

Welcome back to the Hustle Nation Podcast, the show in this episode, we're going to unpack the world of business and communication. Today, we're tackling a topic that can transform the way you communicate at work. We're going to discuss ten phrases that you should retire from your professional vocabulary, starting right now.

Segment 1: "It's Not My Job" 

• Let's kick things off with a phrase that can hinder collaboration and efficiency. 'It's Not My Job' might seem like a clear way to define responsibilities, but it often leads to misunderstandings and missed opportunities. We'll explore why it's time to retire this phrase and what you can say instead to foster teamwork.

Segment 2: "That's How We've Always Done It" 

• In our second segment, we'll tackle the phrase 'That's How We've Always Done It.' While traditions have their place, clinging to the past can stunt progress. We'll discuss why embracing change is essential in today's business world and how to encourage innovation within your organization.

Segment 3: "I'm Too Busy"

• Up next, we've got 'I'm Too Busy.' It's a phrase that can impact your relationships and productivity. We'll uncover why this phrase often sends the wrong message and explore ways to communicate your workload more effectively without alienating colleagues.

Segment 4: "This Will Only Take a Minute" 

• Our fourth phrase, 'This Will Only Take a Minute,' can be misleading and disrupt schedules. We'll discuss why it's important to be realistic about timeframes and how to set clear expectations to respect everyone's time.

Segment 5: "We've Tried That Before" 

• Moving on to 'We've Tried That Before,' a phrase that can stifle creativity and innovation. We'll explore why it's time to encourage new ideas and approaches, even if previous attempts didn't succeed.

Segment 6: "We've Always Done It This Way" 

• Let's start with 'We've Always Done It This Way.' While experience is valuable, clinging to old methods without reason can hinder progress. We'll discuss why it's essential to evaluate processes and adapt to changing landscapes.

Segment 7: "That's Not in My Job Description" 

• In our next segment, we address 'That's Not in My Job Description.' This phrase can limit your growth and potential contributions. We'll explore how a flexible mindset can open doors and lead to new opportunities.

Segment 8: "Just Trust Me" (2:00 - 3:00):

• Up next, we dive into 'Just Trust Me.' While trust is essential, blind trust without transparency can lead to misunderstandings. We'll discuss why it's crucial to communicate clearly and provide context to build trust effectively.

Segment 9: "This is the Way We Do Things Here"

• Our fourth phrase is 'This is the Way We Do Things Here.' While every workplace has its culture, inflexibility can stifle creativity. We'll explore how embracing diverse perspectives can lead to innovation and growth.

Segment 10: "I'm Not a Numbers Person" (4:00 - 5:00):

On this weeks episode we discuss the different generations. It seems like this topic is always coming up so you know we are down to talk about it. Here's a quick breakdown of the generations:

The Silent Generation - 1925 - 1945
Baby Boomers - 1946 - 1964
Gen X - 1965 - 1980
Xennials - 1977 - 1984 (arguably a micro generation with analog childhoods and digital adulthoods)
Millennials - 1980 - 1996
Gen Z - 1996 - 2012
Gen Alpha - 2013 - 2025

We feel like this is just the tip of the iceberg on this conversation and we could and probably will have many more chats about this very discussion.

Episode nine hails from the Bear Paw Cafe in St. George, Utah, a diner that journeyed from its original location outside Anchorage, Alaska by a Mormon family with strong ties to the LDS Church. The owner/manager is a third-generation son who works 60+ hours a week keeping this popular food destination hopping.

We hear from four people--all Millennial/Gen Zer's starting their journeys of life, love and faith--or a crisis of faith. 

Jackson is the good-practicing Mormon; Janessa is a first-time mother questioning her LDS roots because women are taught to be subservient to their husbands rather than be equal partners; Levi feels he needs to leave Mormonism behind in order to truly find himself; and Max, a visiting Jew from Philly, draws striking parallels between Judaism and Mormonism. 

Young minds and voices spreading their wings of self-realization!

This episode originates from the cozy Lunch Box Cafe + Deli in La Mesa, Ca. The place caters to a wide diversity of folks who agreed to talk with me. Karen and Isaac are 25-year-old ex-lovers who're still friends. She's an undocumented Hispanic who used America's DACA program to earn a college degree and works as an HR director for Wells Fargo. She hates all social media, millennial attitudes and booty implants.

Her ex did a stint in the Navy and shared some frank observations of what really goes on when you're deployed, as well as his journey figuring out his anger issues.

Next, I talk to Jan who's lived with her sister the majority of her life and has had her Christian faith challenged through family tragedy and mental illness--oh, and she's a very happy 60-year-old-virgin!

Finally, John, shares why he thinks California is no longer the Golden State.

What's keeping me up these days? Ear & nose hair, military tanks for sale, music, millennials and addition...

Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 2, Episode 26 of Transacting Value Podcast! 

Today with social media, it is too easy to replace what life experiences you may be lacking for those of someone else. When we are out of balance as an individual, partnership or team,  the opportunity to reconnect, converse, express emotions, and recognize how others opinions differ from ours exists. What is best for you as an individual is not always best for the group. Your opinions, pursuits, desires, and aversions face reality and expectations. Look back at the you of 10 years ago. Are you at the place or part of your life that you envisioned? Were you able to balance your direction with the responsibilities you had. What influences did you encounter that diverted your goals? Has social media changed your opinions or views? Entertainment, including multiple media outlets, have taught volumes as opposed to traditional school curricula. Lessons on conflict resolution, communication, and social norms have bridged gaps and provided awareness. Do we place inherent values on our children from our own upbringing, handing down generational values and concerns? Social media users convey shared values to rebuild each other from what we experience as out of balance. It filling a need to listen, learn, express opinions, feel accepted and stay connected. If you have ever tried to make sense of the chaos that has become social media, or tried to balance its influence with remaining true to yourself, then this episode is for you.

Today we're discussing the inherent but underrated June core values of Balance, Learning, and Loyalty as strategies for character discipline and relative success, with a good friend, Adam Rennie. We cover different aspects of constructive, critical, and honest feedback between you and yourself, or other people. Together, we tackle self-esteem, introspection, physical, emotional, and mental recovery. If you are new to the podcast, welcome! If you're a continuing listener, welcome back! Thanks for hanging out with us and enjoying the conversation. Values still hold value.

Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 2, Episode 21 of Transacting Value Podcast!

Like the seed, that in the fall must grow roots deep to survive and then rest before feeding and growing in the spring, or like the plants that must become stronger in spite of the stresses of life, so too must we as humans again learn from nature. A work ethic and self-reliance are essential to farm, but they are suited for all of humankind. Like a gardener to a seed, a coach to a player, or a mentor to another human, "They can see the potential in you, even if you can't yet see it in yourself." Respect goes both directions though, up and down the influential ladder. If you value, self-respect, self-reliance and an honest day's work, then this episode is for you.

Today we're discussing the inherent but underrated May core values of Respect, Courage, and Integrity as strategies for character discipline and relative success, with a good friend, Cody Anderson. We cover different aspects of constructive, critical, and honest feedback between you and yourself, or other people. Together, we tackle self-esteem, introspection, physical, emotional, and mental recovery. If you are new to the podcast, welcome! If you're a continuing listener, welcome back!
