About the Show
Welcome to the Generation Youth Podcast, where real conversations lead to real impact in the lives of today’s youth.
Hosted by James McLamb, founder of Generation Youth, this podcast brings together voices who are in the trenches with the next generation. You will hear from educators, authors, coaches, leaders, and culture shapers who understand what young people are facing right now.
Each episode goes deeper than surface-level talk. We explore the challenges shaping this generation, including identity, relationships, purpose, and the pressures of a rapidly changing world. More importantly, we focus on what can be done to guide and support them well. Expect honest conversations, practical insight, and stories that remind you what is possible when young people are truly seen and heard.
If you care about raising, leading, coaching, or simply understanding today’s youth, this podcast is for you.
The next generation is not waiting. They are already here, and how we show up for them matters.
