Are we raising a generation of snowflakes? In this bonus episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, I sit down with my friend, Lee Trink, to dive into this controversial topic: the perceived "softening" of younger generations, particularly Gen Z.   We discuss how well-intentioned efforts to protect children's feelings may be robbing them of crucial life lessons in resilience, grit, and adaptability.

He co-founded FaZe Clan, transforming it from a small gaming group into the world's leading esports and gaming organization with a massive, passionate fanbase.

We discuss the common pitfall of procrastination and the importance of starting small, such as simply showing up at the gym.
