Welcome to episode #1016 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a moment when artificial intelligence is reshaping not just how markets operate but how people think, feel, decide and connect, understanding the human consequences of that shift has become essential. Mark Schaefer is a keynote speaker, educator, strategist, and a voice in modern marketing, with more than three decades of experience spanning global sales, public relations and brand strategy. He is a faculty member at Rutgers University. Mark's latest book, How AI Changes Your Customers - The Marketing Guide To Humanity's Next Chapter, extends his body of work by examining how AI is quietly rewiring consumer psychology, trust, agency, empathy, and belonging (be sure to check out his other books). Rather than focusing on algorithms or tools, Mark explores how customers are becoming more machine-assisted, less patient, more dependent on automation, and increasingly hungry for meaning and connection in a world optimized for efficiency. He argues that curiosity, art, and human connection are strategic advantages rather than soft ideals. Grounded in research, lived experience, and cultural observation, his work challenges marketers and leaders to rethink relevance, rethink loyalty, and rethink what it means to serve customers whose decisions are increasingly shaped by machines. At its core, Mark's perspective reframes AI not as a threat to humanity, but as a force that exposes what only humans can still do well…if they choose to lean into it.

Join Mike and Tim as they dive into a lively discussion about the essence of family, identity, and faith. In this episode, they explore the concept of "adoption to sonship" and how it redefines our understanding of belonging and community. With humor and depth, they challenge traditional views and invite listeners to consider a broader perspective on what it means to be part of a spiritual family. Tune in for an engaging conversation that blends theology with everyday life, all wrapped in the warmth of the holiday spirit. In this conversation, the hosts explore the themes of faith, family, and community within Christianity, emphasizing the importance of understanding God as a father and the implications of adoption and sonship. They discuss the cultural context of Jesus' teachings, the role of individualism versus community, and the concept of loyalty to God's family. The conversation also touches on the distinction between bounded and centered sets in faith, ultimately inviting listeners to engage in a communal journey of faith. Takeaways: Christian nationalism is alive and well. Father is a status word, not a gender word. To be a part of Jesus is to be a part of his people. Jesus is not your personal savior. We're playing soccer, not rugby. The early Christians did not sharply distinguish between commitment to God and commitment to God's family. Salvation is a social reunification. You cannot be a part of two groups. Loyalty to God is loyalty to God's people. We are playing soccer, not rugby.

What if the whole idea that your teen “must move out at 18” is one of the biggest parenting myths of our generation?In this episode, Greg and Rachel challenge the cultural belief that independence = separation. They explain why forcing teens into adult life at 18 isn't just unnecessary—it's often harmful, developmentally inappropriate, and rooted in a modern social experiment that has produced more loneliness, more mental illness, weaker families, and generations of underprepared young adults.Greg and Rachel reveal the truth: If your child will only become capable, confident, mature, and contributing after you kick them out… that's a parenting problem—not a launching strategy.Instead, they show how the teen years (16–25) are the prime window for deep mentoring, skill-building, emotional development, and world-class education. And that staying home longer—in a healthy, high-skill, high-expectation family—creates stronger adults, stronger marriages, and stronger generational wealth.You'll hear:Why the “18 equals adulthood” idea is culturally manufactured—not biologicalHow incomplete brain development (until 25!) radically changes how we should guide young adultsWhy independence begins at age 2, not 18… and how to train kids long before the teen yearsWhy most failure-to-launch cases come from lack of parenting skills, not lack of kid motivationIf you've ever wondered why today's teens struggle—or how to help your kids become confident, competent adults without pushing them out prematurely—this conversation will completely reframe your parenting vision.

Does “launching” your teen mean kicking them out at 18?If your child only becomes capable when you separate, something's broken. In this video, Greg & Rachel Denning expose why “move out at 18” is a modern psyop that weakens families and robs teens of real independence. You'll learn how to build capability before 18—so your young adult is confident, competent, and contributing while still benefiting from mentorship, connection, and family legacy.Key Takeaways✅ Failure to launch is a parenting-skill problem, not an age problem.✅ By mid-teens, kids should be capable, confident, and contributing at home.✅ Comfort & convenience sabotage growth—skills and systems build it.✅ Teach life skills early: cooking, cleaning, finances, self-management.✅ Mentor through 16–25: support big decisions, deepen character, build skills.✅ Generational families win: keep wisdom, wealth, and warmth under one roof.✅ If independence only follows separation, change the method—not the goal.Chapters00:00 Epic Adventures and Homecomings03:02 Rethinking the 18-Year-Old Move-Out Myth06:06 The Impact of Cultural Norms on Independence08:43 Parenting Skills and the Failure to Launch11:54 The Role of Education in Young Adulthood14:41 Cultural Perspectives on Family Dynamics17:44 The Dangers of Social Media Influence20:31 Reframing Independence and Parenting Strategies27:42 Empowering Children with Life Skills34:52 The Importance of Parenting Techniques44:43 Building a Family Legacy and Financial StabilityMemorable Quotes
