Recorded live at the Mannington Atlanta showroom, this episode explores a question facing every industry: as Gen Z enters the workforce, are we collectively setting them up to succeed?Gen Z is entering a workplace with changing context to the one we entered. AI is changing how work gets done. Communication norms are shifting. Career paths are less linear. And the definition of “work ready” is changing right along with them. So, what does Gen Z need to learn? What does the workplace need to unlearn? And how do students, educators, and employers prepare for what comes next?Amanda brings together leaders from business, education, and the next generation itself: Janet Simpson, CEO of TVS, one of the nation’s top design firms; Tony Purvis, who leads interior design at SCAD Atlanta; and Amy Breidenthal, who teaches business at Agnes Scott College and Georgia Tech. They’re joined by students from all three institutions, putting the people preparing the next generation, hiring them, and becoming them in the same conversation.This episode is presented by Mannington Commercial.
