Most likely, your result is that you have qualities from each generation. In this episode of the Field Trip podcast, a Millennial and a Gen X-er sit down to dive in to the nuance between generations, and the opportunities to learn from members of each.

 – Ian Halperin, Executive Director of Community Relations, Wylie ISD
