Quotes from this Episode:

You Don’t Want to Miss:

Here’s a sneak peek of our conversation: “It’s so easy for everyone to hear something and run with it, or to hear a rumor and say, ‘Millennials like this and you know, the Boomers are like this,’ but I really do think that there’s a lot of unwarranted antagonism on both sides. I do think that as a Millennial, from what I see, my friends are all people who work hard.” Join us as we move from Nicholas’s experiences in the industry, to what’s surprised him about paper and more, including:

• Attracting the next generation to the print and paper industry
• How diversity and inclusion leads to new ideas and perspectives
• What millennials really want in the workplace and it’s not what you think

For now, we will leave you with this, “If you really think about it, paper is involved in nearly every aspect of your life, whether you’re going to the gas station or getting a receipt. I think paper is everywhere. And once I got into the paper industry, I was surprised by the breadth of what it does and the efforts that the industry takes pride in being sustainable and pushing the envelope forward.” – Nicholas Pearson, Marketing Specialist, Domtar Paper
