Young Minds is a blog series written by communications professionals under the age of 30 on all topics related to Gen Y, communications and social media. This brainchild came about from a discussion I had with Arik Hanson about a blog series I wanted to do. The series would be where young pros could ask questions of more seasoned professionals and gain feedback. Arik suggested that it be a series written by young professionals, which is how Young Minds came to fruition.

Each week, I will update the list of guest posters and link to both their blogs (if applicable) and to their guest blog post on LAF.

For over 30s: Your value and insight, and all your questions for Gen Y, is what makes under 30s even better. So, periodically I will have interviews posted on the Young Minds series. This will have a seasoned pro interviewing a younger one on workplace trends, Gen Y stereotypes, and anything related to PR. Stay tuned.
