## Resource

📍 Recorded Live at NeoCon 2025 In this episode of Create A Place, Kristina sits down with Amanda Schneider—Founder of ThinkLab, host of Design Nerds Anonymous, and recent TED speaker—to explore how generational shifts, bold research, and a willingness to rewrite the playbook are reshaping the workplace as we know it. From her viral TED Talk to her upcoming book The Hidden Genius of Gen Z at Work, Amanda brings insight, clarity, and challenge to the way we think about leadership, loyalty, mentorship, and what it means to create a workplace that actually works—for all of us. 🎧 Listen in to learn:- Why Gen Z’s “job-hopping” is actually a new form of strategic loyalty- What legacy norms still shape our workplaces without us realizing it- How digital-first trust is redefining mentorship and onboarding- What it means to design with people—not just for them- Why flexible work isn’t enough—and how Gen Z is exposing the gaps Amanda also introduces Baseline, a short-form data podcast from ThinkLab designed to help the product side of the design industry navigate uncertainty. Released every Friday and available exclusively to survey participants, Baseline delivers quick, actionable insights drawn from fresh industry data. Whether you’re designing space, leading people, or trying to understand the next generation of talent, this episode challenges you to stop assuming—and start asking better questions.
