Millennials are the first generation to have grown up surrounded by digital information. To have access to an unending source of content, opinions, and ideas can be both a blessing and a curse. That’s why Zainab Muse, Co-Founder of Wingd, an award-winning digital media agency is working to align the digital age with the values held by her generation.  “Think of us as the digital age caveman, we are the natives of digital age … for us, we can actually change the direction of how generations after us utilize the Internet, because we are the ones pioneering it right now.” Zainab is an advocate for youth entrepreneurship. Her inspiration to start Wingd grew from an idea to make the content shared on mainstream media a lot smarter and solutions-driven in order to empower young people to understand their immense potential. In this week’s #StartupPodcast, host Rivers Corbett talks to Zainab about the multimedia company on a mission to empower millennial voices, and how Wingd aims to inspire the next generation of leaders.
