Description

Are young people really less motivated than previous generations, or are they set on building a future in a world that looks nothing like the one their parents grew up in? This week, we welcome Ariel Feldman, the 25-year-old creative force behind much of The Back 9's social media. Ariel shares the hilarious story of how she essentially stalked Dennis into hiring her, then offers a Gen Z perspective on careers, financial pressures, social media, AI and the expectations older generations place on younger ones. Dennis and Josh push back, and a lively debate follows about ambition, work ethic and what generations can learn from each other. Ariel is also moving on to an exciting opportunity with HeadCount, a voter registration organization that works with major musicians. Her next assignment? Touring with Olivia Rodrigo. Apparently, working with two aging sportscasters wasn't glamorous enough. It's a conversation about mentorship, taking chances and learning to listen across generations...on The Back 9.
