Gen Z has created an entirely new vocabulary that can be difficult to understand at the best of times.

Social researcher and Next Gen Expert Claire Madden told Shane Doherty on 4BC Summer Drive, "I think pop culture influences so much of this and with the internet age and social media, Gen Z are creating a language obviously quicker than we can keep up with."

"Phrases and words are created at a record speed with a global youth culture and it creates a sense that Gen Z are a tribe."

"Us older generations, we're not in their tribe because they're speaking a new language that we're foreigners to and so it kind of creates this connectivity amongst them," Ms Madden said.

Life throws a myriad of challenges our way, but the ability to get through it and face the next day is where we find true resilience.

Four-time Paralympic gold medalist Curtis McGrath, who lost both his legs while on deployment in Afghanistan, told Shane Doherty on 4BC Summer Drive, "There's many different challenges in life and when we face them, we don't actually know how much resilience we need."

"I think if you're able to get up in the morning and lace up your boots and put your best foot forward in the best way you can, you've gone a long way."

"You've actually overcome the first hurdle of the day and perseverance is a great substitute for talent," the former soldier said.
