Your Child Isn't Lazy. The System Just Wasn't Built For Them.

What happens when a 23-year-old who left school early, worked 13 jobs, and got labelled ‘lazy’ and ‘entitled’ decides to do something about it? She builds a business that fights for every young person the system wrote off.

Nicole Hoeata is the CEO of Growth Hungry. She’s on a mission to bridge the biggest generational divide in workplace history, and make sure that neurodiverse, misunderstood, and square-peg young people finally find their place in the world.

This is for every parent who has ever worried about their child's future. And for every young person who has ever been told they just need to fall in line.

In this episode, you'll hear:

🔎 Why Gen Z are not lazy or entitled…and what's really going on beneath the surface

⁉️ The staggering stat that puts it all into perspective: the average young person today carries the same level of anxiety as a psychiatric patient in the 1970s

🚫 Why 70 to 80% of companies hire people into the wrong role…and what that means for neurodiverse young people

🏢 The generational divide playing out in workplaces right now…and why neither side is wrong

🤒 Why workplaces need to stop worrying about employees faking sickness and start worrying about employees faking wellness

❤️‍🩹 The one question Nicole asks after every experience — good or bad — that puts you back in control

🔀 Why every rejection is just redirection — and why no experience is ever wasted

📈 Should every neurodiverse young person just skip the job and start the business? Nicole gives her honest answer

If you have a young person in your life who is struggling to find their place — in school, in work, or in the world — this conversation will give you both hope and a roadmap.
