David and Jonah were great to work with for our Leadership Summit. During the planning process we connected several times to discuss what our goals were for the summit to make sure their presentation would be tailored to meet our needs. They had relevant and engaging pieces of information from all 4 of our manufacturing companies that they incorporated into their presentation.

Through both primary and secondary research efforts, David (GenX) and his son Jonah (GenZ) bring an energetic and action-oriented approach to their sessions. They have an audience feel of equal parts present day anthropologists and data driven researchers. What’s best though, is that they pour passion into thinking through and explaining how different generations come together and work together with vastly different expectations.
Shawn Boom
