 * This podcast was created for GenZ, by GenZers and we are very proud of that. But, how do we identify as GenZers ? What do you believe ?
 * It’s about the journey, not the destination. That’s the slogan of your show. Which is your favorite journey ?
 * Among all the guests that you have featured on your show, what is that thing that they all have in common ? What do you believe ? For instance, our guests have been inspired by the potential of entrepreneurship while following their dreams, whatever it takes.
 * What’s your favorite quote and why ?
