What Makes a Generation: A Crash Course on Boomers, Millennials, and The Other Generational Archetypes with Dr. Steve Shepard (Episode #20)

Our thought leader for today is Dr. Steve Shepard, founder of the Shepard Communications Group. He is a sought-after leader in speaking, writing, photography, and audio and video production, all of which he considered hobbies that he loves doing.

The story he will share today is about generations. We will learn the four generational archetypes, demystify stereotypes such as “millennials are snowflakes,” and know why, despite the seemingly massive changes that happen every generation, this is still an amazing world.
