In this episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes back Rick Dunham, founder and chair of Dunham+Company, for an insightful breakdown of donor confidence heading into 2025. Drawing on a fresh national survey of 1,500 active donors (each having given at least $20 in the past year), Dunham reports that 91% of donors plan to continue giving, an encouraging signal in a landscape often marred by doom-and-gloom headlines. Even more uplifting? A robust 79% intend to give the same or more this year, marking one of the strongest confidence ratings since 2020. The study reveals that this wave of confidence is largely buoyed by an improving economic outlook. Donors' optimism about the future, especially in the wake of recent elections, appears to be boosting charitable intent. But Dunham emphasizes that while economic conditions matter, nonprofits themselves still carry the torch. Communication is king, or at least, the royal herald. Donors reported that consistent, clear messaging from organizations significantly influenced their giving decisions. The takeaway? Don't ghost your supporters, keep them in the loop and show them how their gifts are making a difference. Even in uncertain times, a compelling case for support remains your fundraising MVP. Of course, economic anxieties haven't vanished entirely. Inflation has resurfaced as a top reason why 14% of donors expect to give less, despite the rate sitting under 3% at the time of the study. It's not just math, it's mindset. Dunham points to the psychological impact of inflation, suggesting that how people feel about the economy often outweighs the actual numbers. Generational giving also enters the spotlight, with millennials stealing the show by donating 18% more than Gen X, despite earning an average of $23,000 less. Wrapping things up, Dunham serves a double scoop of strategic advice: don't underestimate boomers, who still control the majority of wealth, and make your online giving experience stupid simple. With 70% of respondents giving online and mobile usage on the rise, your website needs to be donor-friendly and frustration-free. And yes, even in our digital world, younger donors are oddly thrilled to receive physical mail. So whether it's an email, a postcard, or a perfectly timed text, keep the relationship warm and the giving process easy. Because at the end of the day, confidence isn't just about numbers, it's about connection.

Shelley McIntyre didn't just leave corporate—she walked away from a long career in tech and consulting and into something completely unexpected: grief coaching. But as Shelley quickly discovered, grief isn't just about death—it's also what we experience when leaving jobs, identities, and entire versions of ourselves behind.In this candid conversation, Shelley shares her journey of transformation, from leading corporate strategy to coaching GenXers who feel stuck, burned out, and unsure of what's next. Brett and Shelley talk about grief, imposter syndrome (or why we need to stop calling it that), purpose as a moving target, and the creative rediscovery that often happens post-corporate.This episode is a must-listen for any GenXer wondering if they're alone in feeling “done” with corporate life—and what the other side might look like.What We Cover: • Shelley's surprising path from tech to grief coaching to GenX transition work • Why grief is at the heart of every major life and work change • The hidden cost of staying in corporate too long • How to recognize your “hell yes” moments (and why they matter) • Why imposter syndrome might just be learning in disguise • Why purpose isn't a prerequisite—it's a result of action • Creativity as a gateway to rediscovery • What Shelley listens for when helping people “deprogram” their corporate identityQuotes Worth Sharing:“All knowledge is rumor until it is in the bones.” – Shelley“We don't pathologize a kid learning math…so why do we call it imposter syndrome when we're learning something new as adults?” – Shelley“Purpose is a trailing indicator—it's not something you find on a worksheet.” – Shelley“You don't need to pick one path out of corporate. There are many. Just start walking.” – BrettConnect with Shelley:

In Part 1 of this three-part series, Chris Hare shares how a single founder story sparked a strategy pivot inside Amazon—and why storytelling isn't fluff, it's infrastructure. As a behind-the-scenes strategist for some of tech's biggest companies, Chris has spent decades shaping narratives that align people, purpose, and performance. But his real power lies in his Gen X sensibility: low drama, high pattern recognition, and deep alignment between what's said and what's done. This episode explores how narrative becomes strategy—and why the most powerful shifts often start quietly, from the edges.>>From Ad World to Strategic Narrative“I started in marketing, but I got tired of talking at people.”Chris shares how his path from advertising to Amazon and Microsoft led him to discover a deeper kind of storytelling—one that doesn't sell, but aligns and activates.>>Stories Fuel the Narrative—But Don't Confuse the Two“Stories are time-bound. Narratives are ongoing.”He breaks down the difference between stories and narratives using a flywheel model—and why most companies misuse both.>>When a Story Shifts a Billion-Dollar Business“One conversation in Brooklyn rewrote the future of Amazon Marketplace.”Chris recounts how a single founder story changed the internal narrative at Amazon, sparking a strategic shift toward supporting brand owners—not just resellers.>>Narrative Isn't a Department—It's the Operating System“Everyone thinks they own the narrative. The CMO. The CEO. The team.”He unpacks why narrative must be rooted in strategy, and why trying to split it between brand, marketing, and product only creates confusion.>>How Change Starts with Listening“Storytelling isn't a hero's journey framework. It's a pattern recognition discipline.”Chris explains how real narrative work starts with deep listening and curiosity—and how companies can design strategy around human insight, not hype._____________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Chris Hare  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Mireille Silcoff recently wrote an article for The New York Times Magazine titled “Why Gen X Women Are Having the Best Sex.” At a time of life when many women describe feeling less visible and less desirable, Silcoff said, her life instead “exploded in a detonation of sex confetti.”On today's episode, Silcoff shares the juicy back story to her popular article, from her coming of age in Montreal to the surprising sexual resurgence she experienced after her divorce. Silcoff reflects on what it feels like to be a highly sexual person in her early 50s and tells us how being part of Gen X is central to her newfound freedom.For an upcoming episode about location sharing, the Modern Love team wants to hear your location-sharing story.

It's Wednesday, April 16th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Christian lawyer highlights persecution of Christians in Egypt A lawyer with Alliance Defending Freedom International visited Egypt recently to highlight the persecution of Christians there. The country is about 10% Christian. That's the largest Christian minority in the Middle East and North Africa. However, believers often face persecution from the Muslim majority. Christians suffer employment discrimination, false accusations of blasphemy against Muhammad, sexual violence, and even bombing campaigns.  Elizabeth Brink with Alliance Defending Freedom noted, “Yet, in the face of such hardship, the courage and resilience of Egypt's Christian community are a powerful testament to the enduring hope of the Gospel.” Egypt is ranked 40th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  Hungary bans events that celebrate sexual perversion On Monday, lawmakers in Hungary passed a constitutional amendment to ban events that celebrate sexually perverted lifestyles.  The amendment also recognizes only two sexes: male and female.  Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán supported the legislation, saying, “We won't let woke ideology endanger our kids. … We're protecting children's development, affirming that a person is born either male or female.”  Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Trump freezes $2.2 billion from Harvard over antisemitism In the United States, the Trump administration is taking on Harvard University.  The U.S. Department of Education announced Monday that it is freezing $2.2 billion in multi-year grants and $60 million in multi-year contract value to Harvard. This came after Harvard refused to comply with demands from the Trump administration. Those demands included ending its diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and screening students for issues like terrorism and anti-Semitism.  White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke with passion at the press briefing. LEAVITT: “The President made it clear to Harvard, ‘Follow federal law. No longer break Title VI, which was passed by Congress, to ensure no student can be discriminated against on the basis of race, and you will receive federal funding. “Unfortunately, Harvard has not taken the President, the administration's demands seriously. “All the President is asking, ‘Don't break federal law, and then you can have your federal funding.'  “I think the President is also begging a good question. More than $2 billion out the door to Harvard when they have a more than $50 billion endowment. Why are the American taxpayers subsidizing a university that has billions of dollars in the bank already? And we certainly should not be funding a place where such grave antisemitism exists.” Kansas pro-life legislature overrode pro-abort governor's vetoes Republican lawmakers in Kansas overrode vetoes from Democrat Governor Laura Kelly last Thursday to pass several bills related to unborn children. One bill recognizes children as dependents from conception for child support programs. The second bill requires public school courses on human development or sexuality to include the development of a baby in the womb. And the third bill provides millions of dollars in funding for pro-life pregnancy centers.  Christian statesman new Ambassador-at-Large for religious freedom Last Thursday, President Donald Trump nominated Mark Walker as the U.S. Ambassador-At-Large for International Religious Freedom. Walker served as a U.S. House Representative for North Carolina's 6th congressional district from 2015 to 2021. Before working in politics, he served in pastoral roles at churches in Florida and North Carolina for 16 years. Listen to his advocacy of religious liberty not only here in America, but worldwide from the floor of the U.S. House back on July 24, 2015. WALKER: “Our commitment to allow people to live out their religious values, without fear of discrimination, is really the cornerstone that developed our country into a force for freedom. “But this liberty isn't just an American right. It should be a foundational element for all people groups. Ronald Reagan said it best. He said, ‘The most essential element of our defense of freedom is our insistence on speaking out for the cause of religious liberty.'” Walker thanked Trump in a post on X.  He wrote, “I'll be relentless in fighting for those targeted who dare to live out their faith. I'm grateful to my beautiful wife and family for their support. May God provide the path and may we have the courage to follow.” More Millennials are reading their Bibles The American Bible Society released the first chapter from their 2025 State of the Bible report. The study identified Bible users as those who read the Bible on their own at least three times a year. Forty-one percent of U.S. adults qualified as Bible users this year, up from 38% last year but down from 49% in 2019. Younger adults are leading the recent growth in Bible users. Thirty-nine percent of Millennials qualified as Bible users this year, up from 30% last year. Bible users are also increasing among Millennial and Gen X men in particular. Archeologists unearthed first Christian hymn captured in new film And finally, Christian music artists revived an ancient hymn last Friday ahead of Resurrection Sunday.  MOVIE NARRATOR: “Archeologists had no idea what they'd uncovered, an 1,800-year-old Christian hymn, the first to be discovered with words and music. It's not even a page, really. It's just 30 centimeters by 5 centimeters, but it provides amazing early evidence, not only of the beliefs and spread of Christianity, but also of its music.” The new recording is based on a papyrus discovered in Egypt in 1918. The manuscript dates from around the third century A.D. It's considered the earliest Christian song preserved with both words and musical notation.  John Dickson, a Christian historian, has worked to bring back the hymn since 2022, hosting a new documentary called “The First Hymn.”  Christian artists Chris Tomlin and Ben Fielding collaborated to release a recording of the ancient song. Here are some of the lyrics from the recording: “All powers cry out in answer. All glory and praise forever to our God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen, we sing amen.” Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Watch the trailer through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.   You can stream “The First Hymn” movie on line for $15.

Well, hello there! Hope you are doing well, growing in grace, enjoying the Lord's love, spending time with Him daily, and living a Kingdom focused life. I'm thankful you're listening today. This is episode number 207 of The Burt (Not Ernie) Show, featured on the Edifi app, iHeart radio, Spotify, Apple podcasts, and pretty much all the places. Let's jump into today's episode. The Power of God's Will - 40 Days of God's Promises Devotional now available on Audible If you were, say, looking at the last week of Jesus' life, those days leading up to the crucifixion - if you were looking from the outside, those events leading would leave you with an entirely different impression than they do for us who know Jesus, who love Him and live for Him. In Him we live and move and have our being, it says in Acts 17:28. When you know that for yourself in a personal way, you look at the events between Palm Sunday and Resurrection Sunday with thankfulness, gratitude, humility, awe, and hope for what comes next. When you look at it from the outside in, it probably doesn't create those same emotions. It looks like a series of terribly unfortunate events from that perspective. Jesus' arrest, trial, crucifixion - those are gut wrenching moments in history and may be incredibly difficult to make sense out of for someone looking at the life of Jesus for the first time.    The week seems like it ended in utter hopelessness, like those three and a half years of the Lord's life were all for naught. And that would be discouraging, if you only saw it from that perspective, from the outside looking in.    But when you are in Christ, you look at things from a heavenly perspective. You are seated with Him in the heavenly places, is says in Ephesians 2:6, and that means we don't see things from the world's point of view. We see everything in a different light, and not like the old Bangles song from the ‘80s (yes, I am Gen X and yes, the 1980's produced a vast volume of songs, enough that there are references available for almost everything…and I wish the word of God was as easy to memorize as all those song lyrics from my teenage years were).    When we only see something in part, only have access or clarity on bits and pieces of a situation, it can easily feel pretty discouraging. Let me reiterate that: when we only see in part, we can easily become discouraged.   It makes sense that the last week of Jesus' life could be discouraging to someone looking at the life of Jesus from the outside. But doesn't it also make sense that you and I can also become discouraged about the things we can only see in part? And since we are not yet with the Lord, we do see in part. We don't have the whole picture. But what we do have is actually far better; we have Jesus Himself, we have the Holy Spirit indwelling us, we have the promise of heaven with Him, we are forgiven, we have access to the Father via prayer directly, at any time, because the veil was torn at Jesus death and thanks to His resurrection, death and hell are defeated for us.    I say all that to remind you that when you start feeling discouraged about something, I hope you can pause and remember that just because you can't see it all with total clarity, that does not mean things are hopeless. Sunday is coming, and for the Christian, Sunday always, always comes, into every scenario and situation and problem and pitfall. Always.    How can I say that and be so certain that it is true, no matter what is happening in your life? Because when you know Jesus, when your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life, in the end you get eternity with Him. And that is, for you, the joy of Resurrection morning, the empty tomb, the defeat of death for you, and eternal hope.    We who know the Lord understand that Jesus accomplished the Father's will, and we know absolutely that the tomb is empty, there is no body of Jesus entombed in Israel. No grave holds Him. That tomb? It was empty 2000 years ago, it's empty right now, and it will remain empty for time and all eternity. The deed is done. The goose is cooked. Satan truly is a defeated foe, as Revelation chapter 20 so powerfully and beautifully teaches.   The seeming series of unfortunate events was in actuality a series of events leading to the greatest moment to ever occur. There's nothing else like it!    You and I know this to be true.  So, can we also trust that God is doing His will - His good and perfect and pleasing will - on behalf of His dearly loved children, even in the areas of our lives that are painful?    It takes some guts, some faith, and often some honest prayer sessions with the Lord to really believe this with every fiber of our being. And if you need to wrestle with God on a topic that's especially raw and real, please do that. Wrestle in prayer with Him. Ask Him those hard questions. Cry if you need to. But don't just cry to your small group, to your friends, to your spouse. Cry out to your ABBA Father, and be still before Him long enough to experience the love and encouragement and peace that He wants to give you right in the midst of your mess.  You are not alone. He has promised never to leave you or forsake you. So please don't live like you're alone, like you've been forsaken. God is not a liar. Do not allow your stress to lead you to a place where your faith is so nonexistent, your trust so shrunken, that you are basically accusing God of being a liar to you. Remember, it is impossible fo rGod to lie, it says that in Hebrews chapter 6, verse 18. Never live in a way that accuses God of something that it is impossible for Him to do. He has not and He will not and He is not in this moment right now today lying to you. He can't and He won't. Please do not forget that!    Let's look at Mark, chapter 4. Verses 24 and 25. I'm going to read from the New Living Translation.    Then He added, “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given - and you will receive even more. To those who listen to My teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.”  How are you at listening? It's not easy to be a good listener in our always on our phones day and age. It takes a whole lot more effort than it used to. But it's important to train yourself to be a good listener. In say your marriage, your parenting, at work, and all the more so when it comes to what Jesus has said via the Bible.   Are you paying close attention to what He has said? Are you listening closely, so that you can understand and then be given even more? Are you listening to His teaching? Not just during a sermon once a week, but really listening when you open your Bible and read it for yourself? And are you doing that daily? If not, can you start reading your Bible every day? Not to be a legalist, because that is a dead-end road. But because you want to do what Jesus said to do here in Mark chapter 4 - reading your Bible because you want to pay close attention, to listen to Him closely, and to be given more understanding.   The inverse is that what little understanding you have will be taken away from you if you don't pay close attention. That's not a good thing. And so, let's just not do things that way.    As we think about Resurrection Sunday, we almost certainly think about the fact that Jesus finished His work on the cross. It is a finished work. Nothing more needs to be done or added to it. It is finished, that's what He said from the cross, and He meant what He said and said what He meant. Remember, Mark 4? We are paying close attention to what He tells us.  And so, we believe that it is finished, His work on the cross. And since we believe that, we also live without trying to add to the already finished work. The work we have to do is the work of believing according to John 6:29.    We can, and really I feel like we must, we must trust the Lord who paid it all to give us eternal life is the same Lord who is at work in our lives right here and now, today, completing the good work He began in us. Philippians 1:6 tells us to be confident that He will complete the good work He started in us. He is a finisher, our God is. Jesus finished it all on the cross and that sure doesn't indicate that He'll leave you flapping out in the wind, unfinished. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith, it says in Hebrews 12:2. The Author, so He started it and He is also continuing to write it out for us, day by day, and He will finish it. Anything Jesus finishes is done to perfection. That's how you need to look at your faith. Jesus authored it, He is still authoring it every single moment of every single day, and He will finish it to perfection. How do we know this is true? Because of the cross; His finished work on the cross proves that Jesus finishes everything He sets His hand to with perfection. Always. Every single time.   He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. Your life and times are in His hands. Those are good, good hands to be in. Jesus isn't Allstate, He doesn't raise your rates when you make a claim. You are rooted and established in Him. He's got you, and if you don't feel like you can see the end of this ordeal right now, just remember that He's got you. He has engraved you on the palms of His hands, and it is impossible for Him to forget you. See Isaiah 49:16.   This Resurrection Sunday, I hope you rejoice and declare with total trust in Him that He is risen! He is risen, indeed!    Lord bless you today, and every day! And may His mercy, grace and peace be yours in abundance. (And one little announcement - my devotional The Power of God's Will - 40 Days of God's Promises is available on Audible as an audiobook. I'll put that link in the show notes.)    I'll see you next time. Bye bye!

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast from the HubSpot Podcast Network, hosted by Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott. This week, we're asking one big question: Is British work culture quietly killing innovation, clarity and leadership?

Holly Bond didn't inherit a business or a playbook—she built her own, from the basement up. In this first of a two-part conversation, she shares how a late return to university, a family health wake-up call, and pure Gen X tenacity drove her to create a kids' fitness franchise with national impact. Holly's story is part entrepreneurship, part emotional reckoning, and full of hard-earned wisdom for anyone designing change from the inside out. If you've ever thought it was too late, too messy, or too uncertain—this episode proves otherwise.>>Seventeen Years and One Framed Diploma“My kids framed my degree—with notes saying ‘You're the bomb.'”Holly recounts how she returned to college as a mom of two, taking one course at a time over nearly two decades—proving that starting late doesn't mean finishing small.>>Sales from Scratch“I went from mall dumpsters to headhunter interviews.”Her first outside sales job was in waste management. The job was unglamorous—but it proved she could sell. And it led her, unexpectedly, to the world of recruiting.>>The Moment That Changed Everything“He said our son was overweight. I didn't believe it—until I saw it.”A brutally honest conversation about her son's health launched Holly into action. What began as a home gym turned into Bulldog Interactive Fitness, a children's fitness franchise powered by gaming.>>From Basement Prototypes to National News“I said we're franchising on TV—before we even had an application form.”She hustled media coverage, fielded 100+ franchise inquiries in 24 hours, and built the brand on the fly. It was messy. It was bold. And it worked—until the 2009 crash tested everything.>>The Lessons That Nearly Broke Her“I stopped listening to the advisors who warned me. Almost lost it all.”From overconfidence to near-collapse, Holly reflects on how she came close to losing her company—and what pulled her back just in time._________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Holly Bond  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

We're joined today by our old friend Billy The Kidd from Mix 102.9.  We start off the day watching a guy folding fitted sheets for a crowd, and it's impressive.  Then we discuss the stupidity of radio names, talking back, ain't no party like a diddy party, Radiohead Sucks, and a new and impressive way to get a DUI.  But first, Birthdays!LINKS:Comedian, fittingly, sheets home the laughter | The PostIowa City man arrested after drunk driving excavator on Muscatine AvenueThe Treehouse is a daily DFW based comedy podcast and radio show.

Frugality is in. It used to be taboo to talk about money. A survey of 2,000 Americans split evenly by generation and gender found that 61% agree that it's less tacky to be “frugal” today than it was 10 years ago. Early Birds club: The Earlybirds Club began when two friends in Chicago, Laura Baginski and Susie Lee, wanted to party like they did in their 20s, but as young-at-heart ladies in their 40s, they can't be out into the wee hours of the morning as they hop from club to club. Doors open at 6 PM and close around 10 PM, ensuring everyone can make it home on time to be in bed by a reasonable hour. With a demographic of Gen X women and non-binary folks with some elder millennials mixed in, the music tends to be nostalgic hits from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.Foods to take off the naughty list: If you're avoiding foods because of scary labels like “fats,” “cholesterol,” and “carbs” you might be skipping out on some serious nutrition gold, all thanks to outdated food myths. We are talking mixed nuts, eggs, avocado, etc.Second Date Update: Mandy and Alan go out for coffee. Was it her order that turned him off?

Sarah and Vinnie were sick and tired of GenX being left out of everything, so it's time to take a trip down Memory Lane. Here are the most GenX things of all time-which is your favorite?

Blue Origin's all-female crew made it to space-and they did it in style. Sarah decides to stop being a hater. NBC apologizes to Aimee Lou Wood after “unfunny” SNL sketch. Over on Celebrity Big Brother, Mickey Rourke is fired after shocking behavior directed at JoJo Siwa. And get ready for a nostalgia overload as the gang dives into the most Gen X things of all time.

Clark goes clubbing with his daughter.  We chat about fasting and the machine out their trying to keep us sick. 

An ageing Gen-X bad boy and a queer 21-year-old multi-millionairess locked in a house together. What could possibly go wrong? Quite a lot actually. Many thoughts. We discuss what happened with Jojo Siwa and Mickey Rourke on Celebrity Big Brother. Plus, there were lots of cool people in the desert this weekend, paying $20 AUD for a 'super duper' shower. That's right, it's Coachella season. As always, the fashion is arguably the main festival headliner, and hosts Holly Wainwright, friend of the pod Em Vernem and the legend that is Clare Stephens, define the different levels of cool within this influencer world. And, relationships. What do the top five percent of them have in common and why is it so horrifying to Em? Group therapy is in session.

Gagan Sandhu didn't chase freedom. He calculated it. In this first of a two-part series, the Chicago Booth MBA, former tech exec, and founder of fintech startup Zillion shares how he redefined financial independence—moving beyond buzzwords and into practical action. From his immigrant roots to his pivot from mechanical engineering to Silicon Valley, Gagan shows how knowledge—not speed—builds real freedom. Whether you're Gen X or Gen Z, this conversation reframes wealth not as a finish line, but as a tool for designing the life you actually want.>>From Engineering to Independence“I didn't change careers at 22—I did it at 30, with a kid on the way.”Gagan shares how he shifted from mechanical engineering to tech—slowly, methodically, while balancing parenthood and late-night coding marathons.>>Knowledge Is Currency“Every leap I made came from learning, not luck.”He reflects on why knowledge—not connections, not titles—has been the key success driver in his nonlinear, global career.>>Financial Independence ≠ Retirement“I didn't stop working. I stopped relying on someone else to fund my time.”Gagan breaks down the real math behind financial independence, and why it's not about quitting your job—it's about having options.>>FIRE Without the Hype“We turned it into a real-time calculator—so people can stop guessing and start acting.”Gagan explains how his company Zillion helps users understand their path to independence through clean logic, custom inputs, and grounded assumptions.>>Money, Math, and Meaning“Independence isn't a destination—it's a design challenge.”In a thoughtful back-and-forth with Vince, Gagan shares why financial planning must merge psychology, lifestyle design, and human behavior—not just numbers in a spreadsheet._________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Gagan Sandhu  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

In this  episode of Drinking from the Gardenhose, Ed and OB celebrate their podcast's ongoing existence (and the fact that they still speak to each other) by diving into the world of youth sports—where the stakes are high, the snacks are overpriced, and the tournament schedules make no earthly sense. They share the highs, lows, and "why are we paying this much for parking?" moments from recent games, along with their kids' travel quirks and MVP-worthy antics. Throw in a few restaurant rants, parenting laughs, and just enough heartfelt reflection to keep it wholesome, and you've got another classic episode full of relatable chaos and unfiltered dad energy.

This week, we're all over the place -- talking appropriate greetings, The Minecraft Movie, the Gen X spirit animal, moving away from social media, our favorite pets in entertainment & pop culture, Zack makes his film recommendation that Joey has to watch now, and more. Our bonus this week is a Q&A with Robbie Daymond from last month's Mississippi Anime Fest. Join us!

The generation that you grow up in tends to define how you think about mental health issues. In this episode, Justin and Eddie talk about why there are differences between Boomers, Zoomers, Gen Xers, Millennials, and more. The better we can understand others, the better we can empathize. 

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast from the HubSpot Podcast Network. This week, we're joined by John Tarnoff, executive career coach, TEDx speaker, and author of Boomer Reinvention, to explore how professionals over 50 can turn career challenges into powerful second acts.

Tara Landes, GenX, has been the secret weapon hundreds ofsmall businesses leaders have used as they solve operational challenges for over 25 years. She is a certified change management practitioner from The Prosci Institute and a licensed influence trainer from The Cialdini Institute.She is also the lead faculty member for the Bellrock management training programs, which are unique in both methods and results. In this episode she brings her expertise in influencing others with grounded research and such enjoyable storytelling. She breaks down the psychology of influence using research-backed insights from Dr. Robert Cialdini, Daniel Kahneman, and Daniel Pink. Note: When we talk about influence in this episode, we mean ethical influence—using psychology to guide decisions responsibly, not manipulate. What You'll Learn in This Episode:0:00 Intro1:06 Influence & Persuasion 2:28 Influencers5:52 Robert Cialdini Book Overview7:08 Reciprocity12:15 Sales14:23 Liking17:04 Authority19:37 GenZ Cynicism20:40 Kahneman's System 1 and System 224:30 Consistency27:47 ScarcityQuotable Moments:*Influencers are using different aspects of the practice ofinfluence.”“The law of reciprocity states that if I give yousomething, you feel obligated to give me something back.”“There is power in making a concession.”“In my household if I have a way to make people say yes tome more often, my life is a little bit better….and their lives are a little bit better when get me to say yes.” “Before you do business with someone, build some rapport.” “When we're teaching about influence, we're teaching aboutusing it for good.”“Now is a difficult time for all sorts of things. It is hardto know who to trust. Our traditional go-to way of making decisions is really being upended.”“Most of what we do is on auto-pilot.”“Consistency is about having other people that you'reworking with agree to smaller things because they'll agree to something larger to be consistent…we like to feel internally consistent.”“Scarcity is when people want something they're afraidthey'll miss getting.”“It takes a really long time to find friends, so find yourpeople and stay in touch.” Three Episode Takeaways: 1.   Influence is broader and persuasion is narrower – Influence is what we do to nudge people along overtime. Persuasion is a subset of that where we're actually getting someone to take an action. Influencers use social proof and authority when we are uncertain about what to do.2.   The 7 common aspects of influence Dr. Cialdini found universal: reciprocity, liking, authority, consistency, scarcity, social proof and unity. Many times we don't realize how we're being influenced. 3.   41% of our day is spent selling what we're trying to accomplish. We also like to do business with people we like so figure out what we have in-common to connect.Upcoming Event:Next cohort begins in May.Registration is now open.https://bellrock.ca/our-training/management-training/  Episode Resource: Robert Cialdini's Book: Influencehttps://amazon.comDaniel Khaneman https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/economic-sciences/2002/kahneman/biographical/ To Sell is Human, Daniel S.

Today on the podcast, I'm joined by Jill and Mary, founders of Girls Mentorship. We're diving into what teen and tween girls need and what they're going through at this stage of life. You'll Learn:What makes teen & tween girls so awesome!Benefits and pitfalls of greater emotional awareness in this generation of kidsHow small shifts can make a big difference in identity and self-esteem5 ways to support the tween or teen girls in your lifeListen in for tools to start helping your teen or tween daughter with her confidence, self-esteem, and emotional health.--------------------------------------Today on the podcast, I'm joined by Jill and Mary, founders of Girls Mentorship. We had so much to talk about, we had to make it two episodes so you could get ALL the goodness out of our conversation. In this episode, we're diving into what teen and tween girls need and what they're going through at this stage of life. Next week, you'll learn what you, as a parent, can do to support them.Jill and Mary are the founders of Girls Mentorship. They say, “Everywhere we looked, we saw girls struggling—grappling with confidence issues, battling negative self-talk, wrestling with poor self-image, and navigating the tricky waters of anxiety and depression. It hit close to home. Hadn't we been in those exact same shoes 20 years ago?” Girls were STILL missing the vital tools to rise about these challenges. So Jill and Mary decided to become the guides they wished they'd had - offering young girls the skills and support to build confidence, resilience, and self-worth. They now teach life and personal development skills to tween and teen girls so that they can become the brightest, most authentic versions of themselves.Life As A Tween GirlWith all the conversation about kids and anxiety and how much girls are struggling, it's easy to forget about the beauty of this age. Mary shares that girls this age speak their mind. They're curious. They make you question things, and you get to learn from their questions, too. They're experiencing all the firsts, and it's really fun to walk that path with them and see their eyes get really big when they understand a concept for the first time or realize that they're not alone in what they're struggling with.Jill says they're also hilarious, creative, and talented. They have access to so much information that if they're curious about something, they will just go and seek it out. And with a lot more awareness of mental health in today's culture, these girls are genuinely curious about it. When they experience anxiety or other feelings, they now have words to articulate and express themselves, which leads to really rich conversations. Mary says that when you're talking about girls ages 10 through the teen years, the distinction between tween and teen isn't all that big. She says, “the conversation doesn't really change much, neither does what the girls in particular are struggling with.” The differences come up in their maturity level, experiences, and what topics they've been exposed to. Challenges for ParentsNo matter how old your kids are, you know that each stage comes with it's own unique challenges. Two that we see come up most often are generational differences in the ways we talk about and deal with emotions and how the way we define success for ourselves can trickle down to our kids…whether we want it to or not. Expressing Emotion - The Generation GapWe all agree that we've seen a shift in the way people express emotions from our parents' generations to now. Gen X parents wanted to act like everything was fine. Stuff the feelings down, and pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Now the...

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast from the HubSpot Podcast Network, hosted by Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott. This week, we're asking one big question: Has Gen X become the forgotten generation at work?

Ana and Dan would not volunteer for a road trip across a ruined America, even if it involved Gen-X micro-targeted mid-90s nostalgia. We break down The Electric State, a film that raises big questions about AI labor and passive entertainment but then does nothing interesting or coherent with them. The most expensive film Netflix has ever made (no, seriously), yet everything looks like a student film shot in the mustard aisle. The Tuch Tuches it up! Giancarlo Esposito does chillingly casual menace! All in vain. There's class war, robot angst, and echoes of Terminator, The Road, and that Fallout series I forgot to finish. There's some IR in this episode, and a critique of capitalism that feels like a drone strike from above. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send a FanMail to the GenX Stories gang via text message!Remember the episode earlier this season  where each co-host picked a 1986 GenX album and we got way too into it? Yeah… we're doing that again. This time, it's 1987—and no, we're not out of opinions yet (not even close). Each of us picked an album from that iconic year, we all (mostly) gave ‘em a listen, and then lovingly (and loudly) overanalyzed them.Expect deep tracks, random trivia no one asked for, and at least one “omg I totally forgot about that song!” moment. Oh, and as usual, we'll be dragging our former teenage selves and probably uncovering something weird about each other along the way.So press play, roll up those acid-wash jeans, and let's get back to 1987—because clearly, we think it rocked.Episode linksDid this concept earlier this seasonBest albums of 1987How Sting made art from lossSting's November 1987 Nothing Like the Sun Spin Cover Story: Invisible Son10 things you didn't know about INXS's KickThe Unlikely Story of How INXS Came to Rule the Late '80s With ‘Kick'Rock And Walk: Husker Du's 'Warehouse'‘Warehouse” marked the begnning of the end‘Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me' Fall Back In Love With A Classic Cure AlbumJust Like A Dream: The Cure's Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me RevisitedOUR ALBUMSLori: Kick, INXSCourtney: Nothing Like the Sun, StingChris: Warehouse: songs and stories, Husker DuEve: Kiss me, kiss me, kiss Me: The CureConnect with usSubscribe to GenX Stories in your favorite podcast appBuy some kickass merchWrite us a reviewVisit our siteJoin our Facebook Group

In Part 2 of our conversation, Katie Curry flips the script—from navigating her own reinvention to mentoring the next generation through theirs. As a Gen X leader, she draws from both parenting and management to offer real tools for leading Gen Z with clarity, empathy, and pace. Katie doesn't romanticize change—she makes it strategic. From book recs to career advice to community wisdom, this episode is a field guide for anyone navigating a multigenerational workplace—and still trying to grow on their own terms.>>Gen Z Doesn't Want Hierarchy—They Want Honesty“We need to pick up the pace—and tell the truth.”Katie breaks down what Gen Z really wants at work: clarity, fairness, and feedback that isn't sugarcoated. She shares how leaders must shift—fast—or get left behind.>>The Parenting Playbook That Works at Work“I don't lead with answers. I lead with questions.”As a mom and a manager, Katie shares the same core strategy: focus, simplicity, humility, and curiosity. No, you don't have to have all the answers. Yes, you still have to listen.>>Advice for the Anxious Overachiever“Find your superpower. Build the skill. Then learn how to pivot.”Katie offers Gen Z three rules for thriving in chaos: develop what makes you valuable, build a true community, and treat change as a skill—not a flinch.>>The Real Power of Community“Community isn't a contact list. It's people who remember you 20 years later.”Katie and Vince reflect on what lasting community really means—and how Gen X mastered long-haul relationships before the age of “likes.”>>The Art of Learning Without Losing Yourself“I consume books, podcasts, summaries—but reflection is where it all clicks.”Katie shares her three pillars of learning: exposure, synthesis, and solitude. She explains why quiet time is not indulgent—it's essential._________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Katie Curry  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Michael Levitt nearly lost everything to burnout—a heart attack, job loss, foreclosure, and total collapse. But what brought him back wasn't a digital detox retreat—it was Gen X wisdom: learning to reset without relying on tech. As the founder of the Breakfast Leadership Network and burnout consultant to global execs, Michael now teaches others how to rebuild. In this episode, he explains why recovery starts with sleep, why analog habits like ditching your smartphone alarm matter, and why burnout is a system failure—not a personal flaw. For Gen Xers who straddle both worlds, this is a call to reclaim the best of both—and redesign a life that actually works.>>The Burnout Spiral That Changed Everything“In one year, I lost my job, my home, my car—and nearly my life.”Michael shares the full collapse that led him from healthcare executive to burnout survivor. But the real story is how he rebuilt—on his own terms.>>Gen X Wisdom: Unplug to Repair“Buy an alarm clock. Get your phone out of your bedroom.”Raised in the analog world, Michael draws on old-school logic to fix new-world problems.

When the New York Times declared it was “the end of work as we knew it” for Gen X, it did not feel fine. The story called the generation obsolete, irrelevant, and even likened them to candlestick makers in the age of electricity. Seriously? The article sparked a firestorm, prompting host Jonathan Small to write a viral Substack response that only raised the temperature. Now, Dana DuBois—fellow Gen X-er, writer, alt-rock aficionado—joins the show to talk about why the article sparked so much rage, what it got dead wrong, and how Gen X is not just surviving but reinventing midlife on their own terms.  Read Jon's response on Substack here.  Read the original NYT story here.

Forget hot takes and hustle porn—Josh Geballe has built a career on real outcomes, not optics. As a former IBM exec, startup CEO, crisis-tested public leader, and now head of Yale Ventures, he's navigated every kind of system—and rewired more than a few. In this episode, Josh breaks down what it takes to lead without ego, make career moves without a roadmap, and support innovation without turning it into performance. For Gen Xers designing careers that are built, not branded, this is substance over soundbites in its purest form.>>Career Strategy ≠ Life Strategy“I never chased titles. I chased impact—and the challenge that came with it.”From IBM to a 16-person startup, Josh explains why logic alone doesn't drive bold moves—and how gut instinct often knows best.>>Public Sector, Private Resolve“Nothing in my tech career prepared me for a global pandemic—but it helped me lead through one.”As Connecticut's COO, Josh didn't just manage state operations—he ran its COVID response. He reflects on balancing fear, facts, and forward motion in an impossible time.>>Yale Ventures: Innovation Without the Ego“PhDs know how to explain ideas to journals. I help them pitch to the real world.”Now leading Yale Ventures, Josh shares how he mentors faculty and students to translate research into startups—and how real innovation starts with learning to listen.>>Startup Lessons That Actually Scale“Startups taught me how to stretch every dollar. Government taught me how to stretch every second.”Josh draws on lessons from his software CEO days to modernize systems at scale—without turning leadership into theater.>>Advice for the Impatient Ambitious“Your first job? Work for someone you want to become.”Josh offers Gen X-flavored guidance to early-career MBAs: skip the shiny job titles and find mentors who challenge how you think, not just what you do.____________________Connect with Us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Josh Geballe  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Greg Morley isn't reinventing himself at midlife—he's been reinventing all along. As a Gen X leader who's shaped HR and DEI strategy at Disney, Hasbro, and Moët Hennessy, Greg represents the quiet force of a generation that never needed to go viral to make an impact.>>From Complaint Calls to Corporate Change“80% of the calls were complaints. That's how I learned to listen—fast.”Greg started in the trenches and never forgot what real work feels like. That early frontline experience now shapes how he has led global people strategies with heart and head.>>Gen X Leaders Don't Wait for Playbooks—They Write Them“I didn't plan to be in HR. I planned to understand people.”Whether designing HR strategy at Hasbro or rewriting DEI systems at Moët Hennessy, Greg leads with insight, not instruction manuals. >>Diversity Without the Optics“Rewiring beats rebranding—every time.”Greg breaks down how he rebuilt DEI from the inside out, ditching the optics for honest structures, tough conversations, and measurable change.>>Global Insight, Local Action“Diversity in Cognac, France doesn't look like diversity in New York. That's the point.”From Paris to Hong Kong, Greg's work proves that inclusion isn't a one-size-fits-all program. It's a flexible framework built on understanding where you are—and who you're there for.>>Bond: The Book That Calls BS on Performative Belonging“People don't want politics. They want to be seen, heard, and valued.”In his new book Bond, Greg cuts through the noise and reframes inclusion as something human—not hype. This isn't theory. It's the Gen X guide to building meaningful connection in work and life._________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Greg Morley  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.
