Two percent. For job-seekers and hiring managers alike, that’s the number. The line in the sand. All you have to do is decide whether you want to be in it, or not. The consequences for your career, or your company, couldn’t be bigger.

On this week’s podcast, your host Suzy Welch dives into the research behind that number, reported in her Wall Street Journal op-ed and gathered at Becoming You Labs. In short: Only 2% of Gen Z hold the three values hiring managers want most: achievement, learning, and the love of work for work’s sake.

And yes, the responses to this finding have been…let’s just say, “opinionated.” Suzy reads and responds to some of the most heated comments and explores what all this means for careers, companies, and the tough choices we face when values clash. Tune in to answer the question for yourself, where do you land? And what your answer might mean for your future.

Finally, hear Suzy’s very personal reflections about how she is processing the firestorm around her Wall Street Journal piece. Without doubt, there’s been an avalanche of support. But there have been unsparing attacks in equal measure. Spoiler alert, Joan of Arc is invoked.

What if you’ve done it? You know, created the life of your dreams – fully living what you want to do, can do, and should do. It all sounds great (because, well, living your purpose tends to be that), but then what? How do you push beyond your dream life? In this special episode of Becoming You, host Suzy Welch sits down with the one and only Kate Bartlett – content creator extraordinaire and now NYU Stern MBA student – to reveal what’s next for her, after having created the life she’s always wanted.

This isn’t just a conversation about the future. It’s about pausing to ask: am I living in alignment with my values right now? Kate recently took the Becoming You Values Bridge assessment, and Suzy walks her through the results – which prompt a slew of a-ha moments, and hold a few surprises to boot. Learn about them all, and learn about yourself along the way, in this intimate and inspiring episode of Becoming You.

Nobody hates romantic love, but not everybody loves romantic love the same amount.

That’s what makes romantic love a value. Because we get to choose how much of a role it plays in our life. For some of us, it drives all of our actions and decisions, from where we work to where we live to what we do every weekend. For others of us, being in a relationship is a “nice to have” not a “need to have” thing. Our partner matters – if we have one – but they aren’t the center of our existence.

Cue the scary music!

In this week’s podcast, our host Suzy Welch makes a momentous announcement, and with it, shares news about how we can all learn more about our own, personal level of love as a value. That’s information that matters for us individually as we search for our purpose in life, and it's information that could change how we relate to those around us.

So, what’s love got to do with it? Just about everything. Tune in this week for a brand new look at an emotion that never gets old.
