Boomer, Gen X, Millennial - we use these labels all the time, but there's two problems:

1. There's no scientific support for actual generational differences
2. Using the labels can cause a bunch of problems, especially with learning, especially in the workplace

Two experts in the field, David Costanza & Cort Rudolph join us to to discuss:

- the limits of traditional generational research
- the problems that the perceived generational differences/ labels cause
- a better way to think about group differences
