Is the American Dream Dead? Millennials vs Gen Z

Is the American Dream dead?

In this episode of the McIntyre Inc. Podcast, Michael and Brianna dive into one of the biggest cultural questions of our time: Are Millennials falling behind? Is Gen Z lazy — or actually more innovative than any generation before them?

From the State of the Union and the economy… to entrepreneurship, AI, dating apps, masculinity, marriage, and what it really takes to build wealth in 2026 — this is an unfiltered conversation about where America is headed.

We discuss:

• Are Millennials actually behind?

• Why Gen Z may have a massive economic edge

• Is it really easier to make a million dollars today?

• The impact of AI on opportunity

• The marriage and masculinity crisis

• Dating apps and the shift in relationships

• Provision, partnership, and modern gender roles

• Why thinking outside the box matters more than ever

• And whether the American Dream is evolving… not dying

This episode is bold, honest, and thought-provoking — whether you agree or disagree.

If you’re a Millennial wondering if you missed your window… If you’re Gen Z trying to figure out your future… If you’re building a business… Or if you care about the direction of our country…

This conversation is for you.
