Today’s IT leaders face a new kind of challenge; building teams, strategies, and cultures that resonate with a digital-native generation raised on AI, streaming, and instant communication. To help bridge that gap, we sat down with three standout interns from Mejeticks, Camille Ferachi, Lindsey Gattis, and Avery Copple, who bring sharp insight into how Gen Z sees the world of work, technology, and innovation.

This episode is more than a casual conversation. It’s an educational deep dive into how Gen Z communicates (hint: it’s not by phone), how they use AI in both school and business, and what they expect from the companies they choose to work for. These insights are invaluable for CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, and business leaders navigating everything from recruitment and engagement to digital transformation and customer experience.

Key topics we cover include:

• Why Gen Z prefers text and chat over voice — and what that means for customer support and user experience.
• How AI is becoming second nature in prospecting, research, and productivity — even in internships.
• Their candid views on privacy, wearable tech, and what companies get wrong about digital natives.
• The importance of in-person culture — and why hybrid might not be the holy grail for younger workers.
• What IT leaders can do to better reach, engage, and support the next generation of professionals.

Whether you're shaping your hiring strategy, rethinking internal training, or developing customer-facing technologies, this episode offers a rare, unfiltered look at the expectations and mindset of the next generation entering the workforce.

Don’t miss this chance to hear directly from Gen Z — and rethink how your organization is preparing for the future.
