We are becoming (if we aren’t already) addicted to our phones. You are addicted to social media if you check Facebook the moment you wake up. Second, how technology and social media, have sucked us in. This has created a sense of entitlement and once we move into the real world, we realize how hard things are and we collapse. How we have been recognized just for participating even if we come in the last place. With failed parenting, he talks about how all our lives we have been told we can have and be whoever we want. These 4 elements are key to understanding our generation. He attributes this to 4 distinctive elements, failed parenting, technology, impatience, and the environment. In the worse case, our generation is experiencing an increase in suicide rates.Īnd in the best case, we will experience low satisfaction in our job and relationships. Simon talks about the big challenges we are facing as millennials. Millennials are the generation of people born between 19 so pretty much you and me. The Millennial QuestionĪt the end of the interview, Tom brings up the question of the millennials. Recently, he had an interview with Tom Bilyeu where he talks about the generation that is changing the rules of the game, ours. He is a motivational speaker and marketing consultant with a focus on leadership. I’m talking about the awesome Simon Sinek. In a time where building a career in the corporate world makes us question if we made the right choice, he helps us make sense out of our generation. No wonder his latest video got so much exposure, it’s exactly what we need to hear in this age of technology and social media.
#SIMON SINEK MILLENNIALS TV#
Larry King: Watch new episodes of ‘Larry King Now’ Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on demand on Ora TV and Hulu.All you need to do is google him or search his name on Youtube and you will be hooked for hours. Simon Sinek: Yes, I mean just like with any addiction, you’re going to have to go through withdrawal before you find health again. Larry King: Will we have to deal then with withdrawal? So we accuse old generations, but it’s exaggerated in the millennial generation for being entitled, or whatever other. And so, we don’t treat it as an addiction, we don’t even recognize it as an addiction. Simon Sinek: There’s starting to be, but it’s not yet officially recognized as an addiction in this country. Larry King: There are centers where you go for drug addiction and alcohol addiction, is there a center now for. If somebody carries their phone wherever they go, like they physically feel anxiety whenever they put it down, when they’re with their friends and have to have it up the entire time, looking at the phone while they’re with their friends, when they wake up in the morning and have to check their phone before they say, “Good morning” to the person sleeping next to them, these are problems. Simon Sinek: It’s about balance, it’s not that they’re inherently bad, and it’s not that texting or social media is inherently bad, but it’s when it gets out of balance. Why has it overtaken us? I deliberately will not have it, because I know I’d be addicted. Larry King: It’s all I use it for, is to talk, I like the sound of the voice. Larry King: I noticed that, therefore I don’t have a cellphone. My biggest concern is the unfettered access to social media and cellphones, quite frankly, because there’s a biology to these things that are as addictive as alcohol, nicotine, and gambling. And it’s had an effect on how they view the world, some of it positive, some of it more challenging. Well likewise, this generation that grew up during the turn of the millennial, they came of age at the millennial, grew up in a time of technology that we didn’t have. Well of course, it’s because they grew up during rations, of course they’re going to be like that. So if somebody grew up during the Great Depression or the Second World War, they may grow up to be miserly, for example, or frugal, wanting to squeeze every drip of toothpaste out of the tube. Simon Sinek: Every single generation is affected by whatever’s going on in the world during their formative years. Larry King: Millennials get a bad rap, being entitled, unfocused.
