The Lost Button

If you’re in your late teens and early twenties, you’re part of Gen Z, the ‘rudderless’ generation, aka directionless and lost! At least that’s what the media has to say. Many of us tend to float through our career decisions, or fall into our careers by accident.

The BIGGEST question we get asked at The Lost Button is “how do I choose the right path for me?”, so we thought it would be a great topic to kick off ep #3. How do you find direction in your life and career? When you’re faced with lots of options, or none at all, how do you figure out which path to take?

We explore how you can use your values to direct you and make the right choices for you. On the journey to finding yourself, your values are your compass. Understanding them and using them as a practical decision-making tool is one of the most powerful ways to find purpose and be fulfilled by the path you choose!

Tune in to learn more about our values, and how you can put them into practice in your life + career choices. More importantly, what happens when you don’t follow your values too.

And for this episode’s Lost and Found, we get to chat to one of our favourite guests so far! Gareth is a 23 year old men’s health advocate and aspiring personal trainer. But he hasn’t always known what he wanted to do...learn about his journey to finding himself.

After happiness, passion is one of the top things Gen Z looks for when deciding on their future career path. We don’t just want to make money from our work, we want to do a job that we love and that has a meaningful impact in the world too.

So just ‘follow your passion’ and ‘do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life’, right? Wrong. Controversial POV, but we think these cliches are the worst!

They put a new kind of pressure on us, because if we can’t find our passion, we feel like failures. At the same time, they don’t offer any practical tips or strategies for actually finding passion in our lives.

We’ve got some healthier ideas about passion for you to subscribe to, and a shift to your mindset you NEED in order to bring passion into your work and your life. And once you’ve found your passion, how can you profit from it and actually make it your job??

In ep #2, our guest on the Lost and Found is Harry, a 21 year old public health student, who’s finally found his why, and we love his authenticity and honesty about his journey to finding it.

Bonus content, this is also the first episode where Liz mentions Taylor Swift...but unfortunately, not the last...
