What does the next generation really want from politics?
In this episode, I’m joined by Santiago Mayer, founder and Executive Director of Voters of Tomorrow, for a conversation about Gen Z, civic engagement, and why the future of American democracy depends on whether young people choose to participate.
As one of the country’s leading Gen Z organizers, Santiago shares what motivates young voters, why so many feel disillusioned with today’s political system, and what leaders need to do to earn their trust.
Together, we explore:
* What Gen Z is looking for in political leadership
* Why affordability has become the defining issue for young voters
* How social media shapes political engagement
* The importance of rebuilding trust in institutions
* Why optimism is essential for the future of democracy
Whether you’re interested in politics, leadership, or simply understanding the next generation, this conversation offers an inside look at the priorities shaping the future of civic engagement in America.
If this conversation gave you a new perspective on Gen Z, leadership, or the future of civic engagement, I’d love to hear what resonated with you.
