Our Millennial Life: Recent Episodes
Shauna & Zack
Navigating your way through school, university, and then into the 'real world' is tough. There are different obstacles to tackle and endless opportunities to seize. This is what "Our Millennial Life" focuses on. The term "millennial" encompasses people born between the years 1981 - 2001, so many of you listening, and is often met with some sort of negativity from older generations. We disagree with any negative connotation of the word and believe millennials are those who embrace the world of technology that we live in to breed their own successes, rather than solely relying social norms.
In this episode, Shauna and Zack discuss how they feel day to day running their own businesses and highlight the fact that it is not always fun and easy. They talk about how COVID has affected their mindset and what they are doing to get through Lockdown 3.0

EPISODE 1: "Why do I strive to BE someone?"
Why is it that we all feel like we need to "be someone"? Or is it just us?
In this week's episode, Shauna and Zack explore the deep-seated desire to overachieve and be considered successful. But what does 'successful' even mean? Is it a dollar amount? A nice car? A fancy house? Or is it more than the material items? When we meet an old school friend, why is that they always ask, 'Well, what are you doing with your life now?", instead of asking, "are you happy?". This strange complexity is deep-rooted in our generation and Shauna and Zack strive to understand why we think this way.
