Millennials may get a bad rap as lazy, social-media-obsessed, Peter-Pan-syndrome narcissists, but as the generation grows up and establishes itself in the fabric of the American economy, and labor and housing market, it's time to stop admonishing Millennials and look to these young adults as the future of our nation. This is especially true of Boston, where 35 percent of the population is considered part of the Millennial generation. We speak to three community leaders about a recent Boston Foundation study about Millennials and how they're working to get their peers more involved in changing and developing Boston and the Bay State. Guests: Justin Kang, founder of City Awake; Debora Silva, a financial underwriter for Blue Cross Blue Shield and a member of City Awake; and Pichon Duplan, the co-founder of Fast Forward, a partner of City Awake.
