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. From participation trophies to overprotective parenting, we explore how these practices might be contributing to a generation less equipped to handle life's challenges.

Lee Trink is a visionary entertainment and media entrepreneur based in Los Angeles. 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. His expertise spans entrepreneurship, creative content, talent management, and brand development, with a keen ability to foresee and capitalize on pop culture trends. Before FaZe Clan, Trink served as President of Capitol Records and Capitol Music Group, where he nurtured musical talent and worked with artists like Katy Perry, Coldplay, and The Rolling Stones.
