In the second episode of the Generational Wisdom Series, Carl dives into the defining moments of Baby Boomers and Generation X, exploring how these eras shaped our world.

Stories from Dima Ghawi, who moved from the Middle East to the U.S., and Meg Nocero, recalling life before cell phones, underscore Gen X's grit and ambition.  Carl concludes with a heartfelt call to listeners to share their generational stories, emphasizing the importance of passing on wisdom and learning from every era.   Featured Guests in this episode:   Mary Ellen Buccellato Multimedia Artist | Christian Speaker   Edward Pozzuoli Entrepreneur known for his work in the hospitality industry   Walter Santos United States Secret Service Chaplain | Doo-Wop Icon & Minister   Vinay Kolhatkar Chief Editor at Savvy Street | Journalist | Novelist | Screenwriter | Finance   Andrea B.

We kick off #New-woirvember 2 with an interview with one of the coolest people we have ever met, writer/director Eric Blakeney, who wrote for New World Television's series Crime Story (produced by Michael Mann) as well as the TV movie GENERATION X, the first live-action adaptation of the X-Men from Marvel Comics. Eric takes us through his career, which included stints on the TV series Wiseguy, writing and then running 21 Jump Street, creating the character and spin-off Booker, and writing and directing his own feature, 2000's GUN SHY, starring Liam Neeson and Sandra Bullock. In this episode, you'll discover what Stan Lee's favorite drink was, how Michael Man was to work with at the height of his Miami Vice power, how Woody Allen ruined Eric's opportunity to make a film with Val Kilmer, how Johnny Depp was on the set of 21 Jump Street and his rivalry with Richard Grieco, and how Eric ended up working with MAD MAX director George Miller! This interview is truly a ride filled with great stories and humor in the way that only Eric could tell. We can't thank Eric enough for being on the show and sharing his career with us, we know it's an episode you won't want to miss!

Before X-Men hit theaters, there was Generation X — a 1996 made-for-TV movie that tried to bring Marvel's mutants to life with neon colors, mid-'90s slang, and some very questionable CGI. Laramy is joined by Gerry D from Totally Rad Christmas to talk about this early attempt at superhero television, the changes from the comics, and why the movie still has a certain nostalgic charm.From Emma Frost's questionable teaching methods to Russell Tresh's over-the-top villainy, we explore what worked, what didn't, and how Fox eventually delivered on what this film promised.

In part 2, we continue the convenience-focused conversation with Clerks' stars Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, talking about a range of subjects, including other movies about convenience stores. Hosted by: Jeff Lenard About our Guests: Kevin Smith, Actor, Writer, Director Kevin wrote and starred in the groundbreaking movie "Clerks," which centered on the interactions at a local Quick Stop convenience store. "Clerks" is often ranked as one of the best Generation X movies of all time. Jason Mewes, Actor, Comedian, Producer As Jay, the quick-witted foul-mouthed foil to Silent Bob, Jay became a pop culture icon since his debut in "Clerks."

The salient focus of this podcast episode revolves around the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on consumer loyalty within the furniture industry. As we navigate the contemporary consumer landscape, it becomes increasingly evident that shoppers now seek not merely transactional interactions but rather a profound sense of community and belonging from the brands they patronize. In a climate characterized by fluctuating consumer confidence, the necessity for innovative loyalty programs that transcend traditional punch cards is paramount. We delve into the evolving expectations of customers, particularly millennials and Gen Z, who demand personalized experiences that are seamlessly integrated across various platforms. Additionally, we highlight the often-overlooked financial prowess of Generation X, whose substantial spending habits underscore the imperative for an omnichannel strategy that effectively bridges the digital and physical retail experiences.An exploration of the evolving consumer landscape reveals profound shifts in expectations and behaviors, particularly within the realm of loyalty programs in the furniture industry. As consumer confidence falters amidst economic uncertainty, shoppers increasingly seek not only competitive pricing but also a sense of community and belonging from the brands they engage with. This emerging demand has rendered traditional loyalty programs, often characterized by mere points accumulation, obsolete. Instead, contemporary consumers, especially those from younger demographics such as millennials and Gen Z, yearn for personalized experiences that resonate with their individual preferences and lifestyles. The discussion underscores that a modern loyalty program must transcend transactional interactions and cultivate genuine connections, leveraging data and artificial intelligence to deliver hyper-personalized offerings that cater to each customer's unique journey.The application of artificial intelligence emerges as a pivotal element in this transformation. Through sophisticated algorithms and data analysis, brands can now anticipate customer needs with remarkable precision, creating tailored experiences that enhance engagement and satisfaction. The podcast illustrates how AI can facilitate a seamless omnichannel experience, bridging the gap between digital and in-store interactions. An insightful case study involving Lowe's highlights the tangible benefits of AI-powered solutions, such as visual search capabilities that streamline the shopping process and bolster sales conversions. The narrative emphasizes the imperative for brands to invest in robust data infrastructure, as this forms the bedrock upon which effective and personalized customer journeys are built, ultimately driving loyalty and enhancing overall business performance.Takeaways: Consumer confidence is currently experiencing turbulence, compelling brands to adapt their strategies accordingly. The evolution of loyalty programs necessitates a profound understanding of the modern consumer's expectations. Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing customer engagement through hyper-personalization and seamless omnichannel experiences. Gen X is emerging as a formidable consumer segment, exhibiting substantial spending power in the home furnishing sector. Legal disputes within the industry, particularly those involving key personnel, could redefine executive contracts and industry standards. Recent developments in global supply chains indicate a potential easing of trade tensions, which may stabilize the market.

This month, Practice Life podcast hosts Drs. Jessica Dunbar and Travis Boston chat with Dr. Casey Cromer about the critical topic of inter-generational communication within the equine veterinary profession, covering interactions with colleagues, staff, and clients.

Christian Chan, chief investment officer, at AssetMark, says that markets should remain favorable for as long as economic conditions stay modestly positive, but he notes that the artificial-intelligence boom is helping to ensure that's the outcome, putting a floor under how much damage can be suffered in any financial storms. Chan says he expects those storms to stop short of a recession and he's not as sure as some observers that the market itself is in a bubble; he expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates, but notes that they won't go too low for too long, which should help the economy move forward without hurting the fixed-income markets. Behavioral finance expert Terrance Odean, a professor at the Haas School of Business at the University of California-Berkeley, discusses what investors do wrong when they are staring down bubbly conditions and how they ought to behave when markets are frothy and the experts are concerned about what the end of a rally will look like. Kathryn Berkenpas, managing director of corporate growth for the CFP Board of Standards discusses the biggest financial regrets from Generation X, whose oldest members are turning 60 this year.

The current economic climate presents substantial challenges for the furniture industry, as evidenced by a notable decline in consumer sentiment, which has reached a five-month low, primarily attributed to elevated prices and persistent inflation. Amidst these daunting circumstances, we explore how companies are not merely surviving but actively adapting through strategic innovations and diversification of supply chains to mitigate the impact of tariffs and unpredictable consumer demand. A particular focus is placed on the demographic of Generation X, which, despite comprising only 19% of the population, accounts for an impressive 31% of retail spending, thereby emerging as a critical audience for furniture retailers. Furthermore, we delve into significant industry developments, including a pivotal acquisition by GigaCloud Technology of New Classic Home Furnishings, which underscores a growing trend towards the integration of e-commerce within the traditional wholesale market. This episode elucidates the intricate interplay of economic pressures and the resilience demonstrated by industry players as they navigate a complex landscape, highlighting their innovative responses and the importance of fostering strong partnerships to thrive in these challenging times.Takeaways: The current economic climate has instigated a notable decline in consumer sentiment, reaching a five-month low, primarily attributable to high prices and persistent inflation. Despite the overarching challenges in the furniture industry, the Gen X demographic emerges as a significant driver of retail spending, accounting for 31% despite comprising only 19% of the population. Tariffs have become a pressing issue, prompting the International Home Furnishings Representatives Association to advocate for a reevaluation of the current tariff structure to mitigate instability for businesses. Companies are increasingly diversifying their supply chains to counteract tariff impacts, relocating production to various countries to enhance operational resilience and adaptability. The furniture industry is witnessing a surge in innovation, with businesses developing smaller collections tailored for urban living and a heightened focus on U.S.-made products to meet shifting consumer preferences. GigaCloud Technology's acquisition of New Classic Home Furnishings marks a pivotal integration of e-commerce and traditional wholesale, reflecting a transformative trend in the furniture market.

Heute bringen The Lemonheads ihr 11. Studioalbum „Love Chant“ heraus – und es ist sehr sehr gut geworden! Mit dem Release hätte wohl kaum jemand gerechnet, wahrscheinlich noch nicht mal Bandchef Evan Dando selbst. Es war einfach zu viel Zeit vergangen nach dem letzten regulären Studio-Album mit eigenen Songs, beinah 20 Jahre, in dem man kaum etwas über Releases von Dando hörte, allenfalls von seinen Drogeneskapaden und Konzerten, die zwischen berührend schön und beschämend schlecht beschrieben wurden. Dabei war er in den 90ern das Gesicht des Indie Rock – im wahrsten Sinn des Wortes. Durch sein gutes Aussehen wurde Evan Dando zum Posterboy der Generation X, er verkehrte mit Celebritys wie Johnny Depp, Kate Moss oder Keith Richards. Der große Erfolg war 1992 per Cover gekommen. Bis heute hassliebt Dando die spontan eingespielte Version von „Mrs Robinson“, denn sie brachte viel Erfolg und Aufmerksamkeit, aber spülte die Kredibilität der Lemonheads auch die Gosse runter. Dabei war die Band immer so viel mehr: anfangs eine wilde Punk-Kombo aus der Bostoner Underground-Szene, später eine gefühlvolle Indie-Band mit beatlesken Melodien für die Ewigkeit, mit Evans warmer und einfühlsamer Stimme und ganz ganz viel Melancholie. Musik zum Verlieben. „It's About Time“, dass bei Stereo.Typen mal The Lemonheads geehrt werden. Zusammen mit Achim Launert, Fan (fast) der ersten Stunde. Evan Dando selbst erzählt von seinem Weg von Bostons No.1 Punk-Club Channel ins Chateau Marmont in Hollywood und von da aus in die Abwesenheit. Fast parallel zum neuen Album legte er Anfang des Monats seine Memoiren „Rumours of My Demise“ vor, über die wir auch sprechen in #112TheLemonheads – jetzt beim Obsthändler Eures Vertrauens.

David Emerson Frost, a thought leader and author, brings a powerful and optimistic message about aging, purpose, and health in a recent conversation with the Positive Aging Community. Drawing on his diverse background as a Navy veteran, college athlete, and fitness writer, Frost argues that while aging is inevitable, thriving as we age is both possible and within reach through intentional action and holistic habits.Central to Frost's philosophy is the “7 S Model”—strength, stability, stamina, stretching, stress (or, more accurately, managing stress), restorative sleep, and an anti-inflammatory diet. He calls this the “Stamina 90” model, emphasizing that attention to these seven lifestyle pillars, most days of the week, is key to thriving into one's nineties. Frost warns against shortcuts like over-reliance on medications, advocating instead for movement, nutrition, and sound sleep to help people avoid or delay the onset of multiple health conditions.Frost embraces global best practices, referencing Scandinavian concepts such as the joy of outdoor living, resilience, and “hygge”—practices that foster happiness and adaptability even in challenging conditions. He suggests that, in healthcare, we can learn from cultures that promote lifestyle changes before pharmaceutical interventions, emphasizing exercise and nutrition as first-line strategies before reaching for prescriptions.Frost's first book, "Ka Boomer," argues for an empowered approach to aging—where “Ka boomers” take steps, not just pills. His follow-up, "Strong to Save," targets Generation X and highlights the core importance of building multiple types of strength as we age, using Ruth Bader Ginsburg as a model for resilience. He encourages everyone to adopt resistance training, maintain functional strength, and leverage technology or natural supplements judiciously to augment wellness, always with a critical eye toward evidence and necessity.Frost's upcoming work, "Burden or Banish," explores a paradox central to aging: while most elders don't want to become a burden, without planning and proactive health habits, that outcome remains common. The book aims to provide tools for minimizing the strain on caregivers and maximizing healthy years ("healthspan") by addressing top threats like heart disease early and consistently practicing preventive health measures.The conversation stresses that social isolation, while a risk at any age, becomes especially damaging for older adults. Frost celebrates close friendships and family ties but notes the demographic shifts leading to more solo agers and the need for intentional connection and support. Drawing from the Blue Zones research and the Japanese concept of "ikigai" (purpose), he argues that finding purpose and staying connected—whether through volunteering, faith communities, or social clubs—rank among the top factors for happiness and longevity past age eighty.Frost introduces the idea of a “physical portfolio,” likening the investment the government makes in each American's life to the investment individuals must make in maintaining their health. He urges everyone to sustain their physical assets to match the immense value society places on life, reinforcing that the foundation for quality of life and independence is built day by day through intentional choices.Frost closes with a call to courage: quoting Eleanor Roosevelt, he challenges everyone to do something uncomfortable each day and lean into growth. He reminds us that it is never too late to reinvent oneself, find new purpose, and build stronger, more supportive communities—aging, he insists, can be a platform for deeper wisdom, connection, and personal achievement.This article is drawn directly from the conversation and insights shared by David Emerson Frost with the Positive Aging Community on October 10, 2025, highlighting practical strategies and hopeful perspectives for living well at any age.

Michael Green, chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management, says the stock market is inflating a bubble, but that it's really "a bubble on top of a bubble" in the artificial intelligence arena, where the stocks in the industry — but also those adjacent to the technology  are booming even though many have yet to prove a real ability to generate profits. Green is worried about slowing economic conditions and expects a recession to hit, barring some significant efforts by the government and/or central bankers --  in 2026. He says investors are overlooking opportunities in fixed income broadly and high-yield specifically, and he favors those areas over rushing into whatever has been popular for a while now.    Jacob Ayres-Thomson, chief executive of 3AI which is working with financial-services firms and index providers to bring artificial intelligence-driven new approaches to the market  discusses how  new technologies are changing the old ways of investing, but without eliminating them. He says that no AI-driven bot will ever replace the genius of a Warren Buffett, but it will help make ordinary market actions easier to forecast and, potentially, capture in an investment.    Michael Scordo, wealth management adviser at Park Avenue Capital, discusses the latest data released from the Northwestern Mutual 2025 Planning and Progress Study, which showed that Generation X — the middle child of the generations with its oldest members turning 60 this year — is particularly worried about its financial future. Many are going through sandwich-generation problems — still raising kids while aging parents now require care — and more than half think they won't be financially prepared for retirement when the time comes.
