People in this episode

Host

Jeremy Tiers is the Vice President of Admissions Services for Tudor Collegiate Strategies and the host of Mission Admissions.

Interviewee

Andrew Roth

Andrew Roth is the Founder and CEO at dcdx, a Gen Z consulting firm. As a Gen Z'er himself, Andrew's purpose in starting the company was to bring Gen Z voices to the table. This has led Andrew and the dcdx team to build a network of over 100,000 Gen Z'ers, fueling their work with some of the world's top brands like Google, Chipotle, Denny's, Hinge and more. On top of all this, Andrew is just the average Gen Z'er. He mindlessly scrolls TikTok, questions his eternal anxiety, and orders Chipotle online to avoid talking to people behind the counter.
