What Gen Z Wants from Us: A Conversation with Raquel Boras


Listen Later

For the final episode of Season 6, we close out an incredible year with someone who has always brought her own rhythm, truth, and energy to the show—Raquel Boras. No longer in the mortgage industry yet more impactful than ever, Raquel steps in with a message that directly challenges how we connect, communicate, and lead.


This episode centers around one powerful question:

What does Gen Z really want from us?

From her upcoming documentary "I Hear You Gen Z" to her experiences traveling across 13 states in an RV, Raquel shares a raw and revealing look into what young people are thinking, feeling, and expecting from the adults in their lives—and why so many professionals are missing the mark.

It’s the perfect way to end a season focused on adaptation, authenticity, and leadership.


Standout Moments

  • A Gen Z teen telling Raquel: “Stop posting brain rot. We want real advice.”
  • The emotional weight of watching early cuts of her documentary.
  • Stories from her cross-country RV journey filming nearly 30 young adults.
  • The reminder that authenticity is the actual brand
  • Humor around honey diets, RV life, and who still does Gen X dance moves.

About Raquel Boras

Raquel is a storyteller, mentor, and filmmaker helping bridge the gap between generations. Her documentary I Hear You Gen Z explores what young people truly think—and what they want from the adults around them. Formerly in the mortgage space, she now leads with creativity, heart, and a commitment to authentic voices.


Final Reflection

If this season has taught us anything, it’s that leadership isn’t about knowing all the answers—it’s about connecting with the people who need us most. And as Raquel reminds us, Gen Z isn’t waiting for us to entertain them. They’re waiting for us to lead them.

Season 6 ends with clarity, conviction, and a challenge:

Be the adult they can trust. Be the voice they want to hear.

See you in Season 7.
