Unleashing the Power of Gen Z
Unleashing the Power of Gen Z
70% of Gen Z adults report feeling stressed or depressed on a daily basis
Being an early stage entrepreneur is no walk in the park. At RCM Labs, our mission is to disrupt the landscape by creating an immersive, personalized, and social edutainment platform for Gen Z. We're not afraid to take an unorthodox approach, and who better to guide us than Gen Z adults themselves?
Why Gen Z, you might wonder? Well, they're not just the largest segment of the population today, they're also incredibly intelligent, surpassing any previous generation. They prioritize their health and well-being, opting for sugar-free, alcohol-free lifestyles. They have their own unique tastes, like being die-hard fans of Jack Harlow (who isn't?). And here's the kicker—they're already contemplating retirement! Gen Z takes life seriously, unlike their carefree predecessors who reveled in their post-college twenties.
However, a recent eye-opening statistic caught my attention. In 2019, the American Psychological Association revealed that 70% of Gen Z adults reported feeling stressed or depressed on a daily basis. That number seemed outrageous, so I turned to our Gen Z reverse mentor, who also happens to be our engineering lead at RCM Labs.
He shattered my assumptions. According to his observations within his network, he estimated that the percentage of stressed or depressed Gen Z adults was closer to 90%.
While they received an almost perfect college education, the relevance of that knowledge is evaporating rapidly. When Gen Z graduates embarked on their job search, they were bombarded with interview questions that focused heavily on behavioral skills—skills they were never taught in college. As a result, even in their first or second jobs, they find themselves struggling to adapt and thrive.
In today's rapidly transforming landscape, Gen Z graduates must embrace the concept of lifelong learning. The demand for exceptional behavioral skills has never been higher. At RCM Labs, we're committed to providing a revolutionary platform that empowers Gen Z grads with the behavioral skills and personal growth opportunities they crave. But we don't stop there—we go beyond traditional learning methods.
We're building an immersive platform that seamlessly blends interactive learning, captivating entertainment, and dynamic social interaction. Our goal is to create a thriving community where Gen Z can connect, learn from each other, and develop the essential skills that will propel them to success in this fast-paced world.
