Show notes

Gen Z isn’t just consuming media—they’re rewriting the rules. In this episode, Dr. Patrice is joined by Michael Vito Valentino, Editor-in-Chief at NowThis and the youngest person ever to lead a major media company. Together, they unpack what it means to lead at 25, rebrand legacy media for a generation that values authenticity, and navigate the emotional toll of creative leadership. From confronting burnout and anxiety to building a newsroom that prioritizes premium storytelling over clickbait, MVV shares how Gen Z is reshaping the media landscape with emotional intelligence, humor, and intentionality.
