Episode 4 – Inside the minds of Xennials with NY psychologist Michael Alcee

Xennials, The Last Analogue Generation

Michael Alcee, a New York-based psychologist, delves into the nuanced world of Xennials, a generation at the unique crossroads of analog and digital eras with podcast host Charlotte Kan. For him, Xennials, seamlessly synthesize, empathize, and mobilize, drawing strength from the unique fusion of analog nostalgia and digital progressiveness. This generation is characterized by its unique cognitive and emotional flexibility, adeptly navigating between seemingly incompatible worlds, translating, mediating, and bridging divides. Their emotional intelligence combined with tech-savviness results in innovative leadership styles, as seen in leaders like Zelensky and Ardern. Compared to older GenXers, they effortlessly pivot between personal and professional realms, maintaining a personal warmth yet retaining the etiquette of the analogue world.
