Podcasts about Baby boomers

How can Millennials, Gen Zs and Gen As thrive in a world where so much success depends on having access to the Bank of Mum and Dad? Historian Dr Eliza Filby – an expert in generational identity – tells Amol that society needs to shift in three major ways to mitigate the “rupture” between young and old: in values, education and wealth. Amol speaks with her about her book ‘Inheritocracy' which calls for a radical redefining of meritocracy. They also discuss the shifts in parenthood and the evolving household roles of men and women, and ‘kidulthood' - where young people move into adulthood in their early thirties instead of their late teens or early twenties.

In this episode, Shelby and Laura review Luca Guadanino's newest movie "After The Hunt." We talk about how much we loved Luca's last movie 'Challengers,' explain why we had high expectations for Ayo Edeberi's performance, explore the commentary on Gen Z versus Baby Boomers, and argue whether the movie's morals were ethical.

We often hear people from different age groups claim they had it tougher than the rest - from rising costs to housing pressures, each generation argues their struggle is unique.But what does the data actually say?In this week's episode, our podcast producer, Holly Schaaf, sits down with social researcher and generational expert, Ashley Fell, to dig into some of McCrindle's recent generational analysis: comparing Baby Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y and Gen Z on income, housing affordability, inflation, technology access, and more.

Do you have a budget for your clothes?   Most style advice assumes the problem is overspending: closets overflowing with unworn items, tags still on. But when I polled my LinkedIn network, 86% said they don't buy enough clothes and wear things too long. In networking conversations, easily half the women I talk with budget exactly zero dollars for their own wardrobes.   Here's what generational theory reveals: Each generation absorbed specific messages about when it's "appropriate" to invest in appearance.

Look around you: Our communities are filled with people in their 60s, 70s, 80s, even 90s, doing things that would have been unthinkable at their age a generation ago. By 2030, the entire Baby Boomer generation will be 65 and older.  But what does it mean to be old in an era of much longer life?    Welcome to Century Lives: The New Old, from the Stanford Center on Longevity. In this season, we interview six extraordinary people who are challenging the way we think about aging. Today: Jacynth Bassett. She is one of the leading anti-ageism activists in the world, and yet she is only in her early 30s (and has already been fighting ageism for a decade). Jacynth Bassett is the founder and CEO of a campaign and a global community called “Age-ism is Never in Style”. She is also the founder and CEO of a women's fashion brand called “Bias Cut” that proudly, loudly declares itself an “age-inclusive” brand.  She tells the story of how she chose this cause, and explains that ageism can affect the young as well as the old, and is the one form of discrimination we will all experience. She also discusses the ways that ageism can damage our health and the economy. 

No Followers Needed: How to Build a Six-Figure UGC BusinessGuest: Megan Collier, Content Creator & UGC CoachHost: Julie RigaAbout This EpisodeJulie sits down with Megan Collier, who built a six-figure User Generated Content (UGC) business in just 14 months starting with only 200 followers. Megan now helps GenXers and Boomers launch successful UGC careers, and she's here to break down exactly how everyday people can get paid by brands without any influencer status.What is UGC?User Generated Content (UGC) is when creators get paid by brands to create short-form video content (typically 30-60 seconds) without posting to their own social media.

In today's show, Simon Küstenmacher and I discuss the dynamics of our property markets, with a particular focus on the trend of downsizing among baby boomers.   We examine the emotional and financial factors that influence this demographic's decision-making, the impact of government policies on the housing market, and the implications for younger generations seeking family homes.   Simon mentions the need for better housing options and incentives to facilitate downsizing, ultimately aiming to create a more sustainable housing market.   Takeaways  ·         Baby boomers are hesitant to downsize due to emotional attachments. ·         Downsizing can provide financial freedom and reduce stress. ·         Government policies can incentivize downsizing through tax reforms. ·         Emotional attachments to family homes complicate downsizing decisions. ·         Financial disincentives like stamp duty hinder downsizing. ·         Younger generations are affected by baby boomers not downsizing. ·         Demographic trends shape the future of housing markets. ·         Rethinking housing options is crucial for supporting aging populations. ·         Real fortunes in property are made before the boom. ·         Luck rewards the prepared investor.     Chapters  00:00 - Baby Boomers Hold Onto Big Homes  02:09 - Downsizing Trend Overstated in Australia  05:18 - Emotional Ties Block Downsizing Decisions  10:43 - Financial Disincentives: Stamp Duty and Pensions  16:32 - Wealth Concentration Among Baby Boomers  24:46 - Policy Fixes: Kill the Stamp Duty to Unlock Moves   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·        Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully ·        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Simon Kuestenmacher: Australia's leading demographer and partner in the Demographics Group     Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Also, please subscribe to my other podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for  Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

In this episode, we delve into the link between overall retirement quality and the confidence you have in your financial plan. We emphasize how a well-designed retirement strategy tailored to your needs, not solely reliant on market performance, is pivotal for boosting confidence and making your retirement plan a reality you can rely on. Addressing common fears, exploring emotional extremes, and understanding the evolving landscape of retirement planning, will help you discover the significance of income-focused strategies and a diversified asset approach in building confidence in your retirement plan. When it comes to retirement, your quality of life in these golden years is often predicated on the level of confidence you have regarding your situation. A poorly-designed retirement plan can often cause emotional confusion, which leaves you feeling insecure and lacking confidence. Confidence is typically at its peak when a plan is optimized and is designed around meeting the needs of the client and not relying entirely on market performance. Retirement confidence is in direct correlation with how well your plan is designed to manage your exposure to risk and its ability to fulfill cash flow requirements. A plan built on hope and optimism can lead to very emotional times when the market doesn't work out the way you'd hoped. Many client conversations relating to retirement are often centered around insecurities the client is working through. Common fears include running out of money before running out of life, market crashes, having a health crisis, missing opportunities, or simply making mistakes. There are typically two emotional extremes, no confidence or complete overconfidence. A lack of confidence leads to avoidance behavior and avoiding decisions, which often makes a person vulnerable to the very things they are afraid of. Overconfidence leads people to underestimate their vulnerabilities. Being skittish or practicing decision avoidance or fearing the idea of making a bad decision are all confidence killers, and the ultimate irony of this behavior is actually preventing the solution from being implemented, which can turn your fears into a reality. Confidence is about being able to rely on your retirement plan to do what you need it to do. If your retirement plan is anchored to the stock market, your confidence level relies entirely on the performance of the market. Most people's retirement plans involve a stock market portfolio they plan to liquidate over time, Social Security, and a pension, but that's really just the start. This paradigm seems to be rooted in watching our parents or grandparents work for decades in the same job and then retire with their pensions and Social Security benefits. However, circumstances have changed, and what worked back then isn't going to cut it now. Pensions and company-provided retirement plans have been on the decline since the 1980's. Baby Boomers started putting their money into retirement plans starting in the 90's, which caused a growing stock market. 2016 was the first year that Baby Boomers started taking out money from those accounts. Those who ran the markets up are now the same group that is putting selling pressure on the markets, but there are other influences as well: government spending and policy, Fed policy, pandemics, interest rates, inflation, and more. When you lack certainty in the market, algorithms and a 24/7 news cycle can exacerbate the situation. There are two fundamental things that can have a profound impact on your retirement confidence. First is solving for income using income products. The foundation of a retirement plan is to generate consistent income, and unfortunately, consistency is not synonymous with the stock market. Separating your assets between long-term growth in public investments and income-generating private and fixed assets is a crucial component of being confident in your overall retirement plan.     Mentioned in this episode: BrianSkrobonja.com Common Sense Financial Podcast on YouTube  Common Sense Financial Podcast on Spotify Common Sense: YOUR Guide to Making Smart Choices with YOUR Money by Brian Skrobonja Brian's article - ‘Five Common Retirement Mistakes and How to Avoid Them'     References for this episode: https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/retirement/erisa https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/baby-boomers-could-cause-market-crash-12117996 https://www.forbes.com/sites/lizfrazierpeck/2021/02/11/the-coronavirus-crash-of-2020-and-the-investing-lesson-it-taught-us/?sh=17701bd846cf https://www.marketwatch.com/story/u-s-stocks-would-be-much-lower-if-it-wasnt-for-excessive-government-spending-morgan-stanleys-mike-wilson-says-1b8e65d2 https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/what-does-the-fed-do-and-how-does-it-impact-the-stock-market https://thefga.org/blog/president-biden-is-wrong-about-esg-heres-why/?gclid=CjwKCAjwvfmoBhAwEiwAG2tqzIhc3F2QbmLEygcbkIg9eV7bhXUz3dzXhO1A_hTNE3hNsMbTug59txoCPcwQAvD_BwE https://centerpointsecurities.com/stock-market-algorithms/#:~:text=The%20main%20thing%20traders%20need,because%20you%20may%20lose%20fast. https://www.statista.com/statistics/191077/inflation-rate-in-the-usa-since-1990 https://www.bankrate.com/banking/cds/historical-cd-interest-rates     Securities offered only by duly registered individuals through Madison Avenue Securities, LLC.

Det här är ett samtal som är viktigt för alla på en arbetsplats och hemma vid matbordet. Varför gör de såhår??Det talas ganska mycket om vad olika generationer har för karaktäristika. Baby Boomer, Generation X, Millenials och nu den alltsomoftast diskuterade Generation Z. I det här avsnittet får du lära dig om vad ex.vis Generation Z förväntar sig av sina chefer och arbetsplatser, där forskningen kanske överraskar och utmanar dina egna fördomar?I avsnittet gästas vi av Anna Hislop som valt att specialisera sig lite mer inom området Generationsintelligens. Med en bakgrund i skolans värld upptäckte hon att det helt plötsligt inte funkade längre att lära ut på samma sätt som vi "alltid gjort". Så hur gör vi då? Och vad innebär det på en arbetplats nu när Generation Z faktiskt både behövs, tar plats och dessutom vill skapa revolution i sina samhällen på ett helt annat sätt än vad vi tidigare mött. Världen förändras snabbt. Som vanligt modereras avsnittet av härlige Gunnar Oesterreich - en tvättäkta Baby Boomer. Jacob Bergström från HR On Demand är också med där han idag får representera Generation X och som vanligt får tillfälle att reflektera lite utifrån en HR-chefs perspektiv. I den senare rollen består dagarna i mångt och mycket av att försöka förstå sig på varför människor gör som de gör och reda ut när det skiter sig.Häng med! Hosted on Acast.

Embracing regular exercise can be challenging for those who have never exercised before. Moreover, returning to exercise after a long break can also be daunting as well. Getting started with exercising on a regular basis can be intimidating for some but it doesn't have to be that way. Doing it the right way can help get you motivated to embrace it in a way that makes sense for you and your body in a safe and motivating manner. In This Episode You Will Learn: 1). How receiving an email from one of our subscribers mentioning that our exercise content was recommended to them by their doctor was the reason we thought this issue should be discussed. 2). Why it can be overwhelming when trying to determine a regular exercise routine and schedule if you've never worked out before. 3). How setting your expectations to high when starting out can actually cause burnout and overwhelming feelings which can cause you to stop exercising altogether. 4). Why setting reasonable smaller goals when starting out can be the most effective way to get into exercising even if you have to go slowly. 5). Why it's important to embrace cooling down and rest after a workout especially when you are just getting started which allows your body to recover and heal. /// We hope the tips we've shared in this episode are helpful to you if you are looking to start exercising regularly or have taken a long extended break. Making sure you take the right steps to getting your body back into a regular schedule is important for you not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well.

Too often, people blame workplace problems on another generation. Baby Boomers won't change. Gen X is disengaged. Millennials are needy. Gen Z won't work hard. I have always wondered if this was mostly wrong. And... it is. Generational researcher Cam Marston has spent decades studying how different age groups work together, and he joined me to bust some myths. In this conversation, we get into what's actually true about generational differences versus what's just convenient stereotyping.The big revelation: most of what we label as "generational" is actually about *life stages*—and those life stages are happening five years later than, say, 30 years ago. A 25-year-old today is more like a 20-year-old from previous generations in terms of independence, career clarity, and adult responsibilities.Cam explains why this matters for how our leaders lead, give feedback, and build teams. It matters a lot of HR when we hear the complaints about generations. Now you'll have some facts!! - Org culture beats generational differences every time. - When you have strong leadership and a good workplace environment, these supposed generational conflicts mostly disappear. - It's FAR easier to blame "kids these days" than our leaders to examine their leadership- Different age groups receive feedback differently and this is a LIFESTAGE. If you've ever heard a leader complaining about a particular generation at work, this episode will give you better tools for understanding what's really going on and how to coach for different results! Guest: Cam Marston - generational researcher, speaker, and author of five books on workplace generationsTopics:Why every generation gets called "entitled" when they're youngHow affluent societies keep people younger longerThe five-year life stage gap changing workplace dynamicsWhy Gen Z might struggle with taking responsibilityHow to give feedback that actually works across age groupsWhat makes some teams gel across generational lines**Connect with Cam Marston**Website: https:/CamMarston.comPodcast: What's Working with Cam Marston**Connect with Andrea Adams**LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-adams1/Website: https://thehrhub.ca/

“Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.”-Zhuangzi This quote reminds us that we must be content with things, not trying to create happiness just allowing it to be! MeredithSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“If the rule you are following has led you to this, of what use was the rule?””Do you have any idea how crazy you are?””You mean the nature of this conversation?””I mean the nature of you.”So goes an exchange in No Country for Old Men, but it's a conversation the Democrats might have with themselves as they gather for yet another protest after ten years of them. If the rule you are following has led you to this, of what use was the rule?”Protests are meant to be the voices of the unheard. Yet these protests are the voices of those who never shut up. Not for one minute, not for ten years, and all of us have had to endure them like being trapped inside Willy Wonka's chocolate factory with hundreds of thousands of Veruca Salts.What are their No Kings protests anyway? What have they been since 2016? What are they trying to say? Is it like the ex who smashes all the dishes in the kitchen when her husband tries to leave? I won't be ignored, DONALD.What's the point of it? To what end now? Of what use was the rule? The voices of the unheard? More like the side that had everything. All the media, all the institutions, all the culture, and for a time, all of the government. The people had only Trump. They gathered their small donations and, by some miracle, voted him in, because they had a right to be represented, because this is their country too. It was a revolutionary act that mounted some sort of opposition to a movement that had swallowed up much of American society and demanded that we all go along or be left behind.They managed to have the mother of all protests in the Summer of 2020, smashing windows, burning buildings, beating up cops, and throwing massive fits that said WE'RE MAD! But mad at what? Democracy? Sorry, you lost an election?I try to remember being one of them and feeling the same way. But why did we think we had the right to protest an election just because it didn't go our way? And not just protest, but protest all of the time over everything. Because we had all the power and we couldn't stand to compromise with the other half of the country. They had to go, MAGA had to go. We canceled them. They're racists, we said.Elections only counted if the Democrats won. The other side was not allowed to win, try to make a change, or fight for their right to representation. Not in 2016 and not in 2024. So the protests will not end because the people have to be made to suffer for their vote. So fine, the American people said in 2020. Okay, we'll vote him out. Donald Trump is an existential threat, and our country is pure chaos. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so that, you know, like rigging an election, becomes necessary. And fine, we'll vote in Joe Biden, maybe that will calm things down - finally, the protests will end. Cut to: a botched exit from Afghanistan, 13 American soldiers dead, two wars in Russia and the Middle East, one long dark winter, a bad economy, and are we topless at the White House?It was like George Spahn had moved in and ushered in the Manson Family. Things were getting weird, and the culture of silence and climate of fear meant no one would tell them that they were freaking America out. The Democrats became totalitarian while in power, not just censoring speech on social media, not just institutionalized cancel culture, and a transgender contagion that was spiraling out of control, an obsession with race and racism and antiracism, and if that weren't enough, they weaponized the Justice Department and tried to throw Trump both in jail and off the ballot. Suddenly, the Trump chaos wasn't looking so bad. But we still lived through the first president to have his home raided by the FBI, the first mug shot, and then watched him almost getting his head blown off on live television. None of that made even the slightest bit of difference. They were still somehow the victims even though they lost both 2016 and 2024 entirely on their own.Whose fault was it that Joe Biden, behaving like a king, elbowed out any challengers even though he was in serious decline? Whose fault was it that the Democrats and the media said nothing? George Clooney said nothing until he was publicly humiliated after the debate.Whose fault was it that they pushed Kamala Harris as the nominee, thinking it would be easy to defeat Trump, after all, he's a twice-impeached, four-times indicted, convicted felon! Whose fault was it that Kamala Harris was a terrible candidate, and every honest Democrat knew that in 2020. But suddenly everyone just pretended not to remember how she was humiliated and triggered by Tulsi Gabbard, and then dropped out because she was polling so badly?Whose fault was it that the Democrats have given their party over to the lunatics who still insist trans women are women and that they should be able to play in sports against real women? “We just need to change the messaging,” said King Barack. What choice did reasonable people have but to vote the Democrats out and keep them out until such time as they can come back to sanity? They fight against mass deportations and want an open border, while also demanding free healthcare for all. They never see any problem with this. To them, it's a human right that someone else always has to pay for. They are the victims here, and all of America is expected to address their needs OR ELSE. NO KINGS!They're like the attention-starved kindergartner who can't stop crying in the corner, the stalker ex who monitors your every move, and the nagging wife who won't leave you alone, all rolled in one — what about ME? What about my NEEDS? They are the party of the rich, yet pretend to be the voice of the people. As if. That ship sailed long ago. The Bernie Sanders/AOC/Zohran Mamdani brand of socialism is yet more virtue signaling for graduates of Ivy League colleges and wealthy celebrities. As long as you signal Tax the Rich you can chum around with Anna Wintour and Kim Kardashian.It all sounds good, right? Let the poor people have free stuff, and they'll leave us rich folks alone. They're happy to pay a guilt tax as long as they can Instagram by day and sleep at night. Give the poor and the marginalized whatever they need, and join me on my yacht after that climate change fundraiser. I would be more sympathetic if, after ten years, they had something, anything other than more protests. If they could face the truth about how crazy they have become. If they could understand just for one minute that they were only getting one side of the story by a weaponized, biased media machine that seems to delight in keeping them mentally and emotionally unhinged. If any of them had any courage whatsoever to stand up to their own party, but they're too afraid. Even Gavin Newsom is afraid. Who are they trying to convince by now with these protests? Who would be drawn in and want to vote for them? It's mostly aging Baby Boomers and Jen Psaki viewers, naked grandpas on bikes, women with septum piercings calling babies parasites, and single women who shop at Erewon and Lululemon after high-priced pilates on Sunday.Why would you want to showcase all of that madness when most Americans are just trying to get through the work week? Have a beer on the weekend, maybe take a walk at sunset, maybe drive their Tesla that isn't smeared with feces or keyed down the side. And hope that their kid doesn't have to decide which gender to be in preschool or, god forbid, catch a glimpse of a naked appendage while coming upon a protest in the park or just trying to use the girls' bathroom. Why, Democrats, why? The only semi-reasonable one of them is John Fetterman, whom I once believed should never have run after suffering a debilitating stroke. They were doing it for a yes vote, I thought. Boy, did that turn out to be wrong, and now, he's their worst nightmare because he thinks for himself and isn't afraid of them. Now, according to Axios, they're trying to push him out. That's right, the only semi-sane Democrat is now persona non grata with the totalitarians because, of course, he is. They punish dissent. That's why they're in this mess. Protests signal to the public that the Democrats are helpless, that they have no ability to win elections or to compromise or have any kind of rational conversations about anything, much less any plan to lead America anywhere. Their messaging for ten years now is all or nothing. Give us what we want or we'll throw a fit. Listen to how insane they are with these TikTok videos:They shun anyone who votes for Trump. They treat the other half of the country like toxic waste. They have no way to attract new voters. Who would want anything to do with them? Sure, they still have lots of money and enthusiastic psychotic delusional voters, not to mention the legacy media and Hollywood.In their imaginary world, Trump is a king, a dictator, and a fascist when in reality, he's just the guy they could not destroy or defeat. It's never been Trump. America is exhausted. Ten years of the 19th nervous breakdowns the Left has been having over Trump, only to lose to him again in 2024, and probably to JD Vance in 2028 and 2032, is enough. The Democrats are doubling down on the very thing that makes them so repellent to voters. Helplessness and temper tantrums are no way to lead anyone anywhere. // This is a public episode.

Dave was hosting solo again, and kicked things off by stopping by the Alec Baldwin Driving Academy! A TikTokker is calling out The Gap for mortifying her with their new pants. A man went balistic when his wife didn't want to go to Chili's, and Kim Kardashian's new underwear is beyond ridiculous. Dave found his perfect car, and a new survey shows that Baby Boomers are now renting in droves, which could lead to some rather strange living arrangements. Enjoy!

Celebrating all of the hard work you've done along your fitness journey can be very liberating. One of the most common ways to check on your progress is to step onto a scale to see your current weight. However, there are many other ways that you can check your progress and celebrate your accomplishments which don't involve following numbers which can be very intimidating for some people. In This Episode You Will Learn: 1). Why it's important to recognize and celebrate your health and fitness progress when you hit your milestones. 2). How losing weight is usually the primary reason why most people exercise and why reading your weight on a scale has become the "standard" way of measuring progress. 3). The emotional and mental toll that constant weight measuring can take and why focusing on other "wins" can be more effective to recognize your weight loss accomplishments. 4). How noticing enhanced physical abilities and increase in strength can be helpful motivators in celebrating the work you are doing in your fitness journey. 5). Why monitoring your flexibility and agility are good indicators that your hard work is paying off. /// We hope the tips we've shared in this episode are helpful to you or someone you know who may be on their own health and fitness journey. We all like to see and feel the progress that we make especially if you are trying to lose weight. But don't forget that being healthy and taking care of yourself doesn't always have to involve numbers and weight measuring. Feeling good and being proud of yourself that you are putting in the work to live a active and healthy lifestyle should always be of precedence over constant weight measuring.

There's a strong argument that certain generations, like the Baby Boomers, were forced to "grow up" faster in some ways compared to later generations. But with its own nuances.  Let's take a look. I'll bring in Holly from FL for a counterpoint. I may even tell him that's why he's here, who knows?Mitch Wonders is where Texas porch talk meets life'sbig questions. Each episode, Mitch — a cranky but curious Texan — takes a plainspoken look at today's world with humor, humility, and a shot of wisdom you can actually swallow.Catch up on all episodes, see pics. of each weekly guest andvisit the Merch Store at mitchwonders.com and...Thank You!

The purpose behind this fast moving and moderately funny show is to spotlight the way that the simple and involuntary act of being born causes us to act and think differently. Ray Miller-Still is a Millennial. He is also the editor of a major Northwest Newspaper. This causes him to be fussy about facts. Jason Falls produces this podcast but like any good wizard, wears many hats. Someday we'll get him to tell us about it. He belongs to Gen-X. Dorothy Wilhelm (she ducks her head modestly) is the originator of this podcast and belongs to the Silent Generation. The usual response is "Huh, you've never been silent a day in your life." But the Silent Generation followed the rules, didn't protest so that at age 92, she is still wondering what she'll do when she grows up. Good thing there's plenty of time. Unusual facts about Generation Gap - it's been on the air almost ten years, so Ray was very young when we started, but most unusual it has the distinction of being taught as a college Course at Green River Community college near Seattle. The class is still available. Let me know if you're interested. That class was called Communication between the Generations and one senior student revealed that the reason she was taking the class was that she couldn't get her grandson to answer the phone or return her calls. We went through two days of conversation techniques, as the class was ending, her phone rang. It was her grandson she said with tears in her eyes. So the generation gap can be bridged. We certainly encourage our audience to let us know if there are questions you'd like us to tackle. About today's show - we're talking about Trick or Treat and Halloween of all things. A big difference was that Dorothy's generation NEVER bought costumes and looked down on people who did. Trick or Treating was very rare up until the mid 50s. It seems as if young people now vie for the most elaborate costume. At that point Dorothy tells the story of how her daughter, a baby boomer, created an incredible horse costume for Trick or Treating . More amazing, she was able to convince her baby boomer brother that he should go along as the rear end of the horse. The valuable lesson we learned is that people do not give treats to the rear end of a horse. She came home with a basket full of treats. She did not share. So that's the show, we hope you'll drop in any time. bring your questions, college songs, favorite recipes , and remember as the generations change, favorite foods change too. The Food Business News says The "generation gap" in favorite foods reflects different generational values, with Baby Boomers favoring classic, savory comfort foods like steak and ham, Generation X bridging the gap with familiar yet adventurous options like pizza and meatloaf, and Millennials embracing globally inspired, customized, and fresh dishes such as sushi and burritos. Younger generations like Gen Z and Alpha show a growing interest in plant-based, spicy, and global flavors, with adventurous tastes influencing kids' menus.

Look around you: Our communities are filled with people in their 60s, 70s, 80s, even 90s, doing things that would have been unthinkable at their age a generation ago. By 2030, the entire Baby Boomer generation will be 65 and older.  But what does it mean to be old in an era of much longer life?    Welcome to Century Lives: The New Old, from the Stanford Center on Longevity. In this season, we interview six extraordinary people who are challenging the way we think about aging. Today: Rick Steves. In 1978, he was a piano teacher with a touch of wanderlust.  Two months traveling overland from Istanbul to Kathmandu changed that. The trip ultimately made him what he is today: a storyteller, a critical source of information about travel in Europe, and our country's foremost cheerleader for the value of travel. For the past half century, Rick Steves has taught his fellow Americans how to travel better, through his guidebooks, radio program, app, TV series, and bus tours. He recently turned 70, and many of his globetrotting followers are now older adults, too. We're here to talk with Rick Steves about how he has reinvented himself—and his industry—as he ages.

From 8-track players and record collections to neighborhood adventures with friends until the streetlights came on, this episode rewinds to the childhoods of BLPS Gen X and Baby Boomers. Hear firsthand stories of simpler times, timeless lessons, and how growing up before the digital age built resilience, creativity, and connection.

Setting goals and staying motivated to achieving them can sometimes be more challenging than we assume. No matter what you're looking to accomplish, the drive to do things like lose weight, finishing a study class or start a small business can feel overwhelming at times and lead to "burn out". This can further lead to giving up or feeling unmotivated to continue. Fortunately there are things you can do to help nurture your motivation and also keep your mind and body rested and ready to help avoid burn out during your journey. In This Episode You Will Learn: 1). How feeling "burnt out" has become more of a forefront issue lately especially in "hustle culture" and why that is a cause for concern for people of all ages. 2). Common scenarios that can cause overwhelming feelings for most people and how that can affect you personally. 3). Why it's important to take time to acknowledge your achievements no matter how big or small along the way. 4). The importance of keeping your life balanced as much as possible when working hard to achieving your goals. 5). Why you should make time for rest even when you feel like there is no time and why this can be crucial to staying resilient towards burn out. /// We hope the tips and advice in this episode are helpful to you or someone you know who may be struggling with motivation and accomplishing goals. Pushing yourself to reach a certain level that you've set can be a great self fulfilling accomplishment but it's also important to make sure you can stay mentally, physically and emotionally healthy as best as possible while doing so. That is key to a longer, healthier life for years to come. Team MeredithSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we chat with Diana Leon-Boys— Assistant Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Department of Communication Arts—about her lifelong work examining the navigation of girlhood through a Latinx lens. Her book Elena, Princesa of the Periphery: Disney's Flexible Latina Girl extends conversations about minority representation and the complex relationship it has with child development. We host a dialogue between Diana's research and Henry's observations about boyhood in his book Where the Wild Things Were: Boyhood and Permissive Parenting in Postwar America. We discuss how both scholars pull from their own personal experiences growing up in America and how they interacted with their childhood media. We explore how the proliferation and production of children's and family media shape ideas of adolescence. Diana and Henry relate this back to their roles as parents within an ever-evolving media landscape where funding for educational children's content is dwindling. They further discuss how representation within media has changed over time and minority groups' relation to it. This is where Diana brings in her newer projects about depictions of Quinceañeras and Día de los Muertos in TV and films. We are left to ask what the politics of childhood are and what reforms can be done with current children's media.Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Academic TextsDiana Leon-Boys:Elena, Princesa of the Periphery: Disney's Flexible Latina GirlQuinceañeras: Latinidades and Girlhood in Popular CultureHenry Jenkins:Where the Wild Things Were: Boyhood and Permissive Parenting in Postwar AmericaThe Children's Culture Reader“Just a Spoonful of Sugar: Permissive Child-Rearing and Walt Disney's Mary Poppins”“‘You've Got to Be Carefully Taught': The Whiteness of Permissive Culture”MIT Salute to Doctor SeussInterview about the bookOthers:Centuries of Childhood: A Social History of Family LifeKids in the Middle: How Children of Immigrants Negotiate Community Interactions for Their FamiliesLatina Teenhood: Intersectionalizing subjectivities in the post-network era.Crafting Public Opinion: The Effectiveness of China's Media Control Policies under Xi JinpingMade to Play House: Dolls and the Commercialization of American Girlhood, 1830-1930 Advice Books:The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child CareDare to Discipline  People, Places, Toys, and HolidaysPhilippe ArièsDr. Vikki KatzDía de los MuertosQuinceañerasBenjamin SpockMargaret MeadDr. SeussFred RogersStephanie PérezRaquel Reyes [American Girl Doll]Samantha Parkington [Doll]Julie AndrewsWalt DisneyDisneyland and Disney WorldPaper DollsFDRSigmund Freud Shows, Films, and Other MediaPee-wee's PlayHouseDennis the Menace [59-63' show, Comics]Leave It To BeaverThe Cosby ShowOne Piece [Anime, Manga, Live Action]Disney+EncantoCocoSnow White [Animated, Live Action]Little Mermaid [Animated, Live Action]Chinese State Media sounded like Fox MediaRogue OneSesame StreetGordita ChroniclesBaker and the BeautyBlueyDescendants film franchiseOn My BlockWednesdayMary PoppinsSaludos AmigosHarry Potter film seriesDora The Explorer The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T.Mad Magazine Classic IllustratedGabby's DollhouseQuinceañeras episodesSuper Sweet 16Wizards of Waverly PlaceDora the Explorer  NewsDefunding of PBS Quinceañeras in ProtestOne Piece Flags in Indonesia ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Share your thoughts via Twitter with Henry, Colin and the How Do You Like It So Far? account!

Michael sits down with Suzy Welch—NYU professor, journalist, and author of "Becoming You", to unpack her provocative Wall Street Journal essay that asked: Is Gen Z unemployable? Welch's research found that only 2% of Gen Z shares the core values most prized by employers, like achievement and a strong work ethic. Instead, young workers are prioritizing self-care, authenticity, and purpose—sparking a growing clash between companies and new hires. Michael and Suzy dive deep into the data, the pushback from Gen Z, and what this generational disconnect means for the future of work, parenting, and American competitiveness.

Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 19, Season II: “Attachment Across the Generations: How Our Past Shapes Our Present”In this episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Sarah Hensley dives into a thought-provoking exploration of how attachment styles have been shaped and reshaped across multiple generations. While research in this area is still developing, Dr. Hensley shares her insights, blending the data we do have with her own professional expertise and observations from years of working with clients. Together, she and Raina reflect on how cultural norms, economic conditions, and parenting trends have influenced the way each generation both experiences and passes down attachment.We begin with The Greatest Generation aka the Silent Generation (1928–1945), who were shaped by the Great Depression and World War II. Their attachment strategies often leaned toward survival, self-sacrifice, and stoicism—traits that helped them endure hardship but often left emotional needs unspoken. This foundation directly influenced the Baby Boomers (1946–1964), who grew up in a time of post-war prosperity, suburban expansion, and cultural shifts. While this generation had greater stability, many were raised by emotionally distant parents still carrying war scars, creating a paradox of material abundance alongside emotional gaps.Next, we move to Generation X (1965–1980), often called the “latchkey kids.” With both parents working and divorce rates climbing, many Gen X children learned independence early but often struggled with consistent emotional attunement at home. This set the stage for Millennials (1981–1996), who came of age in a rapidly globalizing world of technology, economic instability, and shifting social values. Millennials were raised with more open conversations about emotions but also felt the weight of high expectations, student debt, and uncertain futures—all of which influence how they form and sustain attachments today.Finally, we turn to Gen Z (1997–2012) and Gen Alpha (2013–present), the most digital-native generations. Gen Z has grown up amidst political polarization, social media pressures, and the mental health crisis, shaping a cohort that is both highly self-aware and often highly anxious. Gen Alpha, still in childhood, is being raised by Millennials who are more intentional about emotional intelligence, attachment security, and breaking cycles—but also parenting in a world defined by technology, climate concerns, and shifting cultural landscapes.Dr. Hensley and Raina bring compassion and clarity to this conversation, showing how the ripple effects of one generation's experiences can echo for decades. At the heart of the discussion is a message of hope: while each generation carries wounds, each also has the opportunity to break cycles, build secure attachments, and create healthier family units for the future.Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

Much is made of generational characteristics these days.  We have identified and categorized ourselves by causes and effects of history that shape the identity of Americans born in different eras.  World War II defined the coming of age for those of my grandparent's generation for instance.  Rising to the occasion of their time earned them the title of: “The Greatest Generation”.  Those born in their looming shadow were largely overlooked & thus dubbed: “The Silent Generation” followed by the “Baby Boomers” known for their prolific numbers. This generation was followed by: “Generation X” exploring unconventional influences for their identity…and so on.  Modern scholars have proffered the theory that the cyclical nature of generational types is virtually inevitable as if we are slaves to the social influences defining an era.  Solomon disagrees.  He outlines a framework for multi-generational legacy building that takes action rather than surrender to the default settings of culture.  Parents and children heed these words.  Proverbs is a handbook for breaking generational curses and building generational righteousness

Look around you: Our communities are filled with people in their 60s, 70s, 80s, even 90s, doing things that would have been unthinkable at their age a generation ago. By 2030, the entire Baby Boomer generation will be 65 and older.  But what does it mean to be old in an era of much longer life?    Welcome to Century Lives: The New Old, from the Stanford Center on Longevity. In this season, we interview six extraordinary people who are challenging the way we think about aging. Today: Fran Drescher. You might know her as Fran Fine, the star of the hit 1990s TV show The Nanny. After a bout with uterine cancer in her early 40s, she started Cancer Schmancer: a non-profit focused on prevention, early detection, and policy change. More recently, she took on a new role: President of SAG-AFTRA, the union she's been a member of for decades. Fran Drescher is now 67. She's here to talk to us about how she has reinvented herself—and her industry—as she ages.
