Ava Wettrick, host of Mentorz podcast and high school senior cares about her peers. She's bringing amazing thought leaders to her Generation Z peers to inspire them to think bigger. She's also bringing groups of young women together for much needed connection and challenging discussion about deeper meaning and purpose than high school typically provides. "There's a difference between childish-ness and childlike-ness. Child-likeness is about the wonder and love in your eyes." Ava Wettrick - host of Mentorz podcast. "I vote we let our teens live in child like wonder just a little longer. High school shouldn't be where their dreams go to die." Rebecca Fleetwood Hession The suicide rate for teens between 10 and 17 was up 70% between 2006 and 2016, the latest data analysis available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's clearly documented that lack of connection and lack of meaning and purpose is a significant contributor to depression. Couple this challenge with the high achievement mindset driving through education today and we have a crisis. Before you jump on the bandwagon of iPhones are the villian, that seems like an easy target to shift the blame. Are we really listening to our teens? Do they have a voice? Do we aspire to a strong sense of love and belonging or just a high GPA? And what about the kids that aren't on the college track? What about the artist and the creative? Where is their sense of meaning and purpose and belonging?

We need a new definition of success—one that harmonizes meaning and money.
Imagine diving into your workday with renewed energy, leaving behind the exhaustion or dread of a monotonous grind.
Traditional beliefs about success and the root cause of burnout are the same:
Prove yourself.
Work harder.
Take care of the business, and it will take care of you.
We’re recycling the mindset and practices that keep us stuck. Our souls need a jumpstart into The Age of Humanity.
Tune in for a new way of working that honors our nervous system and the bottom line, using knowledge of the brain, the Bible, and business. We’ll discuss timeless truths that amplify growth, ignite change, and reshape the world of work. No corporate speak or business BS. Let’s get to the heart of a rewarding career and profitable growth.
We speak human about business.
What’s in it for You?
Value, Relevance, and Impact (VRI): No, it's not a new tech gadget—it's your ticket to making your work genuinely matter to you and your company.
Human-Centric Insights: We prioritize people over profits without sacrificing the bottom line. Think less "cog in the machine" and more "humans helping humans."
I'm your host, Rebecca Fleetwood Hesson, your thrive guide leading you into the new Age of Humanity. I’ve navigated the highs and lows of business and life, from achieving over $40 million in sales, teaching thousands of people around the world about leadership, trust, execution, and productivity to facing burnout, divorce, raising a couple of great humans (one with ADHD), and navigating the uncertainty of starting a business.
I’m committed to igniting change in the world by jumpstarting business into profitable growth with the timeless truths of our humanity.
