Hosted by Kim Bode

Employers call Gen Z lazy and entitled; Gen Z calls employers out of touch. Both sides are talking past each other, and it’s costing real money. This series digs past the complaints and into why so many new hires are entering the workforce underprepared, what turnover actually costs (50–200% of an employee’s salary), and why companies that invest in skills development retain 58% more of their people. The math isn’t complicated; the conversation just hasn’t happened yet – until now.

Host Kim Bode, CEO and Founder of communications and learning company 8THIRTYFOUR, has spent nearly 20 years building businesses and hiring people – and has seen firsthand what happens when the essential skills aren’t there. Tune in as she interviews business owners, young professionals, and people managers to get both sides of the coin.
