In this insightful episode of Rated Gen Z, Raquel sits down with Harshini—an 18-year-old changemaker who’s already deeply involved in community work, personal branding, and even preparing to launch her own podcast. The conversation dives into topics like building a personal brand on LinkedIn as a young adult, finding balance amidst school and extracurriculars, and the pressure Gen Z faces around college applications and choosing their path.

Harshini opens up about her experiences with nonprofit organizations, the importance of networking, and why she’s choosing the college dorm life for a richer, more connected campus experience. Together, she and Raquel discuss navigating the competitive culture of college admissions, the evolving usefulness of degrees like the MBA, and why self-awareness and authenticity matter more now than ever—especially in an AI-saturated world.
