Gradually, this started changing and people began switching jobs for <keyword id="19993653" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="career-growth" source="keywords">career growth</keyword>. Today, as GenZ is now a part of the workforce, the job-switch trend is commonplace. However, if you think that the younger generation is switching jobs just to get a better pay cheque, you might be wrong. According to a new survey, <keyword id="19919711" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gen-z" source="keywords">Gen Z</keyword> employees feel job satisfaction is more important than a fat pay cheque. Moreover, for many Gen Z professionals, work-life balance has become the make-or-break factor. The report also shows that almost half of them—47%, to be exact—are considering leaving their current jobs within the next two years, searching for something more fulfilling. <h2>What does your GenZ employee want?</h2>The study, carried out by the talent platform Unstop, surveyed over 5,350 Gen Z workers alongside 500 HR professionals to get a better picture of what this generation wants from the workplace. The study revealed that Gen Zers know what they value most in their careers. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113255941" title="SIMPLY PUT: What’s with all “Unbossing” talks? Are Indian companies also embracing this global trend?" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> 77% of the respondents said that they would rather work for a company that offers growth and opportunities than settle for a higher salary. Almost half (43%) want jobs where they can get practical experience and develop new skills. And 72% say job satisfaction outweighs the need for bigger salaries. Work-life balance is another critical factor. Nearly half (47%) of young professionals say it’s something they carefully consider when looking at new opportunities. For them, an ideal workday involves completing their tasks efficiently, without feeling overloaded, and leaving enough time for personal growth. <h2>Recruiters misunderstanding GenZ priorities </h2> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/ai-is-entering-classrooms-in-italy-new-learning-tools-to-be-tested-in-15-classrooms-across-four-regions/articleshow/113364057.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">The study</a> also found out that HR teams often misunderstand these priorities. While 78% of Gen Z workers are switching jobs to boost their career growth, 71% of HR professionals assume it's mostly about higher pay. In reality, only 25% of Gen Zers see salary as the top motivator when changing jobs. The survey also uncovered another key ambition for Gen Z: a clear career path with opportunities for advancement. While many recruiters (44%) believe that company culture is more important to Gen Z than career progression, the truth is that this generation seeks a mix of both—a positive work culture, but also a chance to climb the ladder. Unstop’s report dives into more than just job-hopping. It touches on concerns about entering the job market, mental health expectations, and the distinct working styles of Gen Z, which move away from the "one-size-fits-all" approach of older generations. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113284215" title="Was willing to focus my life on software: Bill Gates on when he dropped out of college" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> "For the youngest generation in the workforce, work isn't just a place you go to every day to get your account credited regularly. It has to fit into several key aspects of your life seamlessly," Ankit Aggarwal, Founder and CEO of Unstop, said as per a PTI report. He added, "They (Gen Z) are reminding us that work should be a part of life, and not the other way around... It's a call to action for employers and recruiters. Those employers who adapt to these fast-changing expectations will be preferred by the new generation of employees." <h2>GenZ growing at the workplace</h2>Gen Z is also on the cusp of becoming a dominant force in the global workforce. By 2025, they’re expected to make up 27% of workers worldwide, according to the World Economic Forum. Adobe predicts this number will grow to 30% by 2030. In fact, Gen Z is projected to outnumber Baby Boomers in the workplace as early as this year (2024). A Glassdoor report recently said that by the end of this year, Gen Z workers will surpass Baby Boomers in numbers within the U.S. workforce.

Majority Gen Z employees feel job satisfaction is more important than salary, say work-life balance is crucial

The next time you join a new organisation, closely look at its reporting hierarchy. Do you have a mid-level manager to report to, or do you have a direct line to the senior executives? If your answer is the latter, you’re most likely part of an organisation that has “unbossed” itself. Many companies, like life sciences behemoths Bayers and Novartis, have recently hopped onto this un-bossing trend. Closer home, Wipro reportedly laid off many of its middle <keyword id="20235360" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="management" source="keywords">management</keyword> employees recently. The IT major is said to have undergone a major un-bossing, even though the main purpose of the exercise was to improve efficiency. So, what is this un-bossing trend all about, and how are Indian companies taking up to it? And most importantly, will it do anyone good? Let's find out. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What does Gen-Z want?" comment="subhead" text="What does Gen-Z want?">What does <keyword id="20334202" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Gen-Z" source="keywords">Gen-Z</keyword> want?</cmsannotation> A recent report by the World Economic Forum (WEF) estimates that by 2025, Gen-Z (born after 1996) will account for 27% of the global workforce. While there are no official figures, a young country like India is expected to have an even higher proportion of Gen-Z workforce, with estimates suggesting 25 crore as against roughly 40 crore <keyword id="19955338" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="millennials" source="keywords">millennials</keyword> (those born between 1981 and 1996). While the numbers might not be far apart, their work priorities certainly are. For millennials, it has traditionally been about job stability and steadily climbing the corporate ladder. But for Gen-Z, purpose, <keyword id="19986702" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="flexibility" source="keywords">flexibility</keyword>, respect at their jobs and a solid work-life balance are key. They are not lured into simply jumping the corporate ranks. As more companies make way for younger blood in offices, millennials are confronted with a unique, almost existential challenge. With Gen-Z embracing newer tech, remote working and prioritising flexibility and respect at work, corporations are increasingly doing away with <keyword id="22056604" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mid-level-managers" source="keywords">mid-level managers</keyword>, mostly millennials. Even in 2022, millennials were also the hardest hit during <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/policy/economy/news/millennials-won-the-great-resignation-now-theyre-losing-the-big-firing-/articleshow/94076963.cms">the Great Firing Phase</a> as well. Sanchita Tuli, director of <keyword id="6393327" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Human-Resources" source="Orion">Human Resources</keyword> at Great Lakes Institute of Management notes that un-bossing is a natural progression, as more organisations will eventually move towards developing flatter reporting hierarchies. “However, it remains pertinent only to limited industries, like technology, where changes are dynamic and quick. Un-bossing will be nearly impossible in certain industries like education, where one will always need a certain degree of experience to handle higher-order roles. Another industry where un-bossing will not take place is hospitality, where they would be needed to drive daily operations,” she explains. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Bye-Bye mentorship?" comment="subhead" text="Bye-Bye mentorship?">Bye-Bye <keyword id="20874153" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mentorship" source="keywords">mentorship</keyword>?</cmsannotation> What about mentorship and the handholding done by these mid-level managers, which is so crucial during the initial years of one’s career? "Gen Zers are new to the world of work, and they do really need managers to help them find the ropes. Ultimately, eliminating this kind of middle management position means less guidance, less coaching, and less mentoring, which I feel like is still desperately needed in a post-COVID world," <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/companies-are-unbossing-workplace-culture-and-millennials-are-in-the-firing-line/articleshow/110311358.cms">says</a> Shoshanna Davis, the founder of Fairy Job Mother to Business Insider. Tuli, however, believes that the new generation could also benefit from un-bossing. She believed that the trend offers scope for new talent to access <keyword id="22056605" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cross-functional-guidance" source="Orion">cross-functional guidance</keyword> and mentorship, both within the organisation and online as well. In fact, many organisations are increasingly engaging industry professionals to take up training and mentoring sessions for their young, incoming talent. This could benefit the younger lot by motivating them to take on initiatives and action, all on their own. Zoomers are already unenthused by management. They are the generation that coined the term "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lazy-girl-job-trend-tiktok-explained-defending-low-stress-work-2023-7">lazy-girl jobs</a>" and strongly believe in the benefits of "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-quiet-quitting-work-ethic-millennials-money-struggles-2023-10">quiet quitting</a>." And at the end of the day, solid managers will always be in demand. As per a 2022 report by ThoughtExchange, around 79% of Indian youngsters prioritise having a supportive manager, who is equally invested in their personal growth and professional development while working. For most parts, Gen-Z merely wants to boot out micromanagement and workplace toxicity, something that has come to be deeply associated with mid-level management. Clearly, the role, which was earlier simply a link between fresh talent and senior management, is in need of a rehaul. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Don't be a boss, be a leader" comment="subhead" text="Don't be a boss, be a leader">Don't be a boss, be a leader </cmsannotation>To buck this trend, mid-level managers will need to be more agile and adaptable to the changing times. In other words, they need to be as un-bossy as possible. That the oldest, most experienced member of the lot will necessarily also be the wisest is a notion that should be retired. Mid-managers need to be facilitators, and not mere bosses dictating the job. As Tuli states, mid- managers will need to work on fostering a safe and positive workplace culture, where experience, constructive feedback, and new perspectives find equal value and voice.

A report by <keyword id="6372077" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="nasscom" source="Orion">Nasscom</keyword> and Indeed reveals that over 70% of them are interested in joining the IT industry as techies. In fact, 79% of Gen Zs are willing to spend more than 2 years in their first job provided employers offer them with the right value proposition, according to the Gen Z and Millennials: Reshaping the Future of Workforce report. “We want to support the aspirations of <keyword id="15803084" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="gen-zs-and-millennials" source="Orion">Gen Zs and Millennials</keyword> who will make up a large part of the workforce soon. We foresee the need to help this group of workers navigate the jobs sector whilst staying true to their beliefs. Gen Z workers prioritise a positive work-life balance. They seek work environments that are empathetic and diverse, offer learning opportunities, and align with their core values,” said <keyword id="323873" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="sashi-kumar" source="Orion">Sashi Kumar</keyword>, head of sales, Indeed. The IT industry hired over 3.8 lakh freshers in FY22, which has helped increase the share of Gen Z population in the total workforce to 18-20%. However, millennials still account for 68-70% of the IT workforce in India, according to the report. “The workforce is changing and so are the workplaces. With newer perspectives and ideas, Gen Zs and Millennials are setting the future course of employee engagement, retention and acquisition strategies. It will be interesting to see how these newer generations shape India’s future as the talent hub of the world,” said Sangeeta Gupta, senior VP, and chief strategy officer, Nasscom said. Hiring in the Indian IT sector was affected this year due to a global economic slowdown. However, hiring activity is expected to pick up pace once again in the first quarter of 2023 even as layoffs continue in the global job market. A report by <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/epaper/delhicapital/2022/dec/15/et-corp/indian-it-hiring-to-buck-global-trend-may-pick-up-in-23/articleshow/96235151.cms">Randstad</a> said that 7 out of 10 IT companies are likely to increase their headcount during January-March 2023. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Gen Zs williing to work from office" comment="subhead" text="Gen Zs williing to work from office">Gen Zs williing to work from office</cmsannotation> The Nasscom-Indeed report further highlighted that Gen Zs were more willing to work from office, with 85% of the Gen Z respondents preferring either to work from office or a hybrid model — which is a mix of work from home and office. For Gen Zs and Millennials, brand value is the most important factor to consider while joining an organisation, followed by culture and ethics, and learning and growth. Better financial benefits, career growth and job satisfaction are the key parameters for Gen Zs to continue working in an organisation. For Millennials, on the other hand, job stability and flexibility are important parameters in choosing to continue working in an organisation. Overall, Gen Zs and millennials made up 52% of India’s total population as of 2021, higher than the global average of 47%. “This trend is expected to maintain momentum till 2030, where the share of India’s Gen Z and millennial population will be 50%, higher than the world average of 46%,” the report said.

She said she kept "pushing through with blind optimism" but ultimately decided she didn't want to continue the role any longer and left for "health reasons." Although she was struggling to pay bills, she said she was "happier doing odd jobs here and there.""So say whatever you want about Gen Z, but we're just finally putting our foot down about this corporate lifestyle, where you waste most of your life sitting in an office doing little to nothing," she said towards the end of the video, adding she would rather get the work done on her own time, and then get to live her life.Berghoff told Insider in an email exchange that she had stayed at the job for eight months before she officially quit.Her upload received a massive response, with 3.8 million views and over 11,600 comments, ranging from self-described Gen Z and millennial viewers who wrote they felt trapped by the 40-hour work week that consumed their lives without providing adequate financial reward. "I got asked what my dream job was recently and I said 'I don't dream of working for the rest of my life,'" one viewer wrote in a popular comment."Gen Z was raised to question things and there are so many things about office work that we see are pointless or could be done differently," Berghoff told Insider. "Corporate life is soul-sucking and unnecessary with its long hours, awful dress code, pushback on disability accommodations, and higher-ups who refuse to even listen to their employees."Some managers have said that <a href="https://www.insider.com/gen-z-responds-to-accusations-that-theyre-lazy-and-dont-want-to-work-2023-9">Gen Z workers are particularly difficult to deal with</a>, but the generation has taken to social media in response to this criticism, pointing to the reasons they don't want to work which include a lack of fulfillment in the workplace, wage stagnation, and more of a focus on a healthier work-life balance, Insider previously reported."Gen Z does not hate corporate work, we are pushing back on the unfair standards of work that haven't reflected the change in times for decades," Berghoff told Insider. "If I were to return to corporate work they would have to pay me a livable wage and allow me to work remotely, and now maybe even autonomously."Instead of fully leaving their roles, some Gen Zers have taken the approach of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-quiet-quitting-work-ethic-millennials-money-struggles-2023-10?r=US&amp;IR=T">quiet</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/quiet-quitting-doesnt-work-unfulfilling-job-regret-2023-7?r=US&amp;IR=T">quitting</a>, which involves still showing up to work to collect a paycheck, but establishing firm work-life boundaries by refusing to go above and beyond their job description, while others have embraced the trend of "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/i-do-bare-minimum-mondays-at-work-curb-burnout-stress-2023-2?r=US&amp;IR=T">Bare Minimum Mondays</a>" as a way to ease themselves into the working week.<a href="https://www.insider.com/culture">For more stories like this, check out coverage from Insider's Digital Culture team here.</a>

I wanted to talk about my experience of being the only young person in a corporate working environment.My TikToks — which often involve me roleplaying Gen-Z and <keyword id="12095049" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="millennial" source="Orion">millennial</keyword> employees to mock the generational stereotypes — have become really popular on the app, and I've felt that by using humor to talk about important topics, like maintaining a work-life balance, I've been able to inspire my own generation and also bridge the gap between millennials and Gen Z, who both seem to enjoy my content.<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@imdrebrown/video/7081389789907471662" data-video-id="7081389789907471662" style="max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;"> <section> <a target="_blank" title="@imdrebrown" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@imdrebrown">@imdrebrown</a> <a title="youngprofessional" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/youngprofessional">#youngprofessional</a> <a title="genz" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/genz">#genz</a> <a title="interview" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/interview">#interview</a> <a target="_blank" title="♬ original sound - DeAndre Brown" href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7081389751063956266">♬ original sound - DeAndre Brown</a> </section> </blockquote> <h2>Generational discourse often goes viral on <keyword id="11894125" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="tiktok" source="Orion">TikTok</keyword>, so I decided to use the trend to educate people </h2>Stereotypes about Gen-Z and millennials are <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/genz?lang=en">all</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/millennial?lang=en">over</a> <a href="https://www.insider.com/gen-z-vs-millennials-diss-tracks-skinny-jeans-side-part-3">TikTok.</a> Millennials, who range in age from 26 to 41 in 2022, <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/01/17/where-millennials-end-and-generation-z-begins/">according to the Pew Research Center</a>, joke that Gen-Z, <a href="https://www.insiderintelligence.com/insights/generation-z-facts/">born between 1997 and 2012</a>, is a generation obsessed with <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@leaamah/video/6918019773351726342?_r=1&amp;_t=8RJU2C4KyhC&amp;social_sharing=v1">star signs</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@karissa_yates/video/7055064450184776966?_r=1&amp;_t=8RJU72z7DqY&amp;social_sharing=v1">TikTok dances.</a> Meanwhile Gen-Z mock millennials for being <a href="https://www.insider.com/gen-z-dragging-millennials-on-tiktok-harry-potter-zoomers-twitter-2020-6">way too into Harry Potter and taking photos of their coffee</a>.The way Gen-Z employees conduct themselves in the workplace has also become a sort of meme, with people saying that <a href="https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLCUaU3s/">we don't like to work hard</a> or <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-genz-will-change-workplace-future-of-work-2021-12?r=US&amp;IR=T">know how to function in a professional environment</a>.<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@imdrebrown/video/7080980675397995822" data-video-id="7080980675397995822" style="max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;"> <section> <a target="_blank" title="@imdrebrown" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@imdrebrown">@imdrebrown</a> With jobs making us come back in the office.

When I speak to my parents and grandparents, for example, it feels like work meant everything to them. They'd put everything aside to complete assignments on time and get good raises and promotions.However, I think a lot of Gen-Z employees value mental health and life outside of work more than climbing the career ladder. In my videos, I often over-exaggerate this Gen-Z stereotype for comedic effect. <blockquote class="tiktok-embed" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@imdrebrown/video/7079851782247025963" data-video-id="7079851782247025963" style="max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;"> <section> <a target="_blank" title="@imdrebrown" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@imdrebrown">@imdrebrown</a> After 9-5 chile I dont know you! <a title="genz" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/genz">#genz</a> <a title="youngprofessional" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/youngprofessional">#youngprofessional</a> <a title="corporatebaddie" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/corporatebaddie">#corporatebaddie</a> <a target="_blank" title="♬ original sound - DeAndre Brown" href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7079851772025572139">♬ original sound - DeAndre Brown</a> </section> </blockquote> I've made a lot of sketch-style videos, where I'd play the character of a Gen-Z student in a job interview, and talk about how I <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@imdrebrown/video/7081389789907471662?is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1&amp;lang=en">don't want colleagues to call me outside of office hours</a>, or how I'm prepared to <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@imdrebrown/video/7082873379841215790?is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1&amp;lang=en">be bold and ask for a higher salary</a>.

I'm 22 and make viral TikToks mocking Gen Z and millennials at work. I've learned that despite the stereotypes, we're not all that different.

Note: The article is authored by <keyword id="15099386" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="dr-mahesh-bhatt" source="Orion">Dr Mahesh Bhatt</keyword>, Chief Business Officer, <keyword id="6381892" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="teamlease-services" source="Orion">TeamLease Services</keyword>. Moonlighting is by no means a new concept. Before it assumed its current notoriety in the media thanks to its wide prevalence in the IT industry, drivers, cleaners and maids have been augmenting their incomes by moonlighting, sometimes even doing things they are not trained to do. Even within professional circles such as advertising, media, education and healthcare, moonlighting has been quite widely prevalent in <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword>. Today, in the tech industry, moonlighting is the biggest open secret. This is predominantly a result of its work from anywhere (WFA) flexibility and salary structures that have not been revised for decades now, and are out of sync with inflation and the cost of living. Social media has bolstered the impact of moonlighting, making it a conversation across platforms. Leaders engaging in this conversation with a strong tone have been questioned and berated by the new generation of the workforce. The generational shift in mindset has been transforming the future of work. There are enough non-traditional traits of Gen-Z in the realm of work, workplace and evolving trends. Every 6-8 years, a new generation of the workforce enters with a different mindset. This accelerated with the pandemic-induced hybrid workforce evolution and is transforming the way of work. The predictability quotient has considerably reduced except for one thing that is certain - evolution. Moving towards a digital ecosystem has been a blessing. But was it the first flash of red light? Seamless linkages across Aadhaar, <keyword id="61610" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="pan" source="Orion">PAN</keyword> and PF in some cases brought a few such cases into the public domain. Nonetheless, moonlighting became a swift and easy choice for most employees to supplement their incomes with the rising inflation. With the pandemic, hybrid work policies, WFA mannerisms, quiet quitting, quiet firing, and moonlighting picked up momentum. According to HR experts, the incidence of moonlighting has increased in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, with people wanting to earn more money in the face of job losses, inflation or having more time as a result of working from home. However, <keyword id="115437" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india-inc-" source="Orion">India Inc.</keyword> did not anticipate moonlighting to attain such a gigantic proportion so quickly. Other reasons could be the entrepreneurial bug that has bitten all tech employees alike, the need for higher incomes and lastly the demand for flexibility in workplaces. As per some unofficial estimates, despite a return-to-office mandate, less than 15% of the employees turn up to work, especially at the junior level. This impacts mid-level managers as they have a lesser incentive to return to office. However, there is no clarity on what level the laid-off employees involved in moonlighting fell under - entry, middle or senior. If it were at the entry level, it may just be possible that the salaries were lower compared to the cost of living in major cities. That made staying at home and working for two jobs a better proposition for them. While for mid- and senior-level employees, it could be that they got more exciting projects, helping them enhance their skill sets and of course supplementing their income. From a broader lens, for organisations, it is an ethical and moral issue concerning intellectual property. It might just affect productivity due to increasing fatigue and stress. From a legal standpoint, if the contract forbids moonlighting, it is a strict NO. A person may work more than one job in India without breaking the law unless prohibited by the employment contract. However, section 60 of the Factories Act bars dual employment for an adult worker. All in all, moonlighting is an ethical issue. It becomes a logical thing to do in India, where overtime pay is an alien concept and plentiful employees are underpaid on full-time jobs. The war of talent is real and is deeply impacting employers. Employees who are part of the skilled working population are spoilt for choice with an ‘abundance mindset’. Moonlighting in today’s world is going to stay. What is needed is not confrontation but collaboration between employer and employee. After all, human capital investments define a company and its culture!

For example, one Gen Zer on our list landed his venture-capital job after writing a book at age 18 that impressed a venture-firm partner.

The one-stop-shop clinics were an attempt to leapfrog the competition and capture a piece of the $3.8 trillion industry while sending more people into Walmart stores.Walmart's <a href="https://corporate.walmart.com/newsroom/2019/09/13/our-goal-of-becoming-americas-neighborhood-health-destination-introducing-the-walmart-health-center">vision</a> was to become "America's neighborhood health destination." The push deeper into healthcare came as competitors like Amazon and CVS Health also bulked up their healthcare ambitions.Now Walmart's clinic strategy is in flux, Insider has learned from conversations with eight current and former employees, most of whom spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak with the press because of confidentiality agreements. Their identities are known to Insider.The most concrete sign of the slowdown is that the company isn't on track to meet its earlier projections for the number of clinics it wants to build this year, according to documents obtained by Insider.Read the full story here:<ul><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/walmart-healthcare-strategy-health-clinics-2021-2">2 years ago, Walmart secretly signed off on a plan to build thousands of health clinics.

Rysavy, now operating a young video-streaming service called Gaia, got to work, dispatching a video crew from the company's crystal-strewn headquarters in the shadows of Colorado's Rocky Mountains to document the find.
