• The reality of cancel culture and how it affects young people's lives
• Challenging stereotypes about Gen Z being lazy or always on their phones
• The importance of community in developing authentic self-understanding
• How older adults can support teenagers by having hard conversations without sugarcoating reality
• The disconnect between what high school teaches and what young people need for the "real world"
• Why Gen Z's ability to unite around important issues offers hope for the future
• Embracing difference: "We're born to be different. You're not supposed to be the same."
