In this episode of the FiredUp! podcast, Ian Baer shares that although often viewed as a “walking meme”, Gen Z is a more financially responsible and self-reliant generation that approaches decisions more thoughtfully. He also shares actionable advice startups can take to get in front of a Gen Z audience.

Ian Baer, Morgan, and Ian Lipner discuss:

Gen Z often makes buying decisions based on the values of the company and the opinions of trusted influencers, often skeptical of traditional advertising and reviews.

Brands targeting Gen Z should be transparent, provide abundant information, and use a variety of content formats to capture attention.

Gen Z is less career-focused than previous generations and are more likely to have multiple streams of income.

Businesses should lean in with information and advice as Gen Z rejects being sold to, preferring to form their own opinions.
