In this episode, Corey Mac, Devin, and TD sit down to talk about what it really means to navigate work, growth, and leadership in a world that’s constantly shifting. We dig into how Gen Z is reshaping the workplace, why loyalty isn’t a safety net, and how to stay rooted in your values.

We break down why hope, on its own, isn’t enough — and what it looks like to pair belief with action. From the Hot Shot Rule to building a culture of appreciation (not just recognition), we explore the mindset shifts that keep you growing even in uncertain times.

It’s real, with unexpected laughs, and a reminder that hope needs a plan — and growth starts with the next thing you choose to do.

Corey Mac, Devin, and TD keep it all the way real in this episode as they unpack what it means to show up, mess up, and still rise up — especially in a world where Gen Z is rewriting the rules. From psychological safety to dead fish, from feedback culture to the five people you need in your circle — nothing’s off-limits.

After a few years away, The Missing Perspective is back — and now complete with our newest co-host, TD. In this first episode since our hiatus, we talk about how the pandemic changed connection, the importance of grace and accountability, and why surfacing fears can free us.
