Rob Janicke in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.robjanicke.com/ HAVE I GOT A LITTLE STORY FOR YOU...   The year was 1984. I was eleven years old and popular music was in a state of confusion. Along with songs by artists I liked such as Van Halen, Prince, Quiet Riot, Duran Duran, Billy Idol, and The Police, Top 40 radio constantly played songs from bands or artists that didn't quite do it for me. Apologies to Kenny Loggins, Phil Collins, Bananarama, Wang Chung, and Ray Parker Jr.   Due to the divorce of my parents and telling my mom that I was so unhappy that I no longer wanted to live, I was now a couple of years into therapy. It was around this time that I really began to find solace in music. The mid to late '80s gave me hope. Rap, punk rock, and alternative music befriended me at a time when I needed them the most.   A mixtape from 1989, courtesy of a high school friend, opened my soul to the music that would change my life forever- the gritty sound of grunge.   I know that this experience is not unique to me or my life. History has shown that millions of Gen X kids who were going through some heavy times in the late '80s and early '90s, found comfort in the grunge and alternative music and culture that came first from Seattle, then the world. Music can save lives; we are proof of that. This book and that sentiment is for the SLACKER in all of us. - Rob Janicke, author of Slacker

I have been captivated by the concept of The In Between, that mysterious space between enduring your pain and trauma and fully moving forward. It is a place where it is easy to get stuck in familiar patterns of suffering, because they have become uncomfortably comfortable. Pain can feel like an old snugle blanket you have held onto for years and letting go feels strange, even a little like losing yourself.  But The In Between is also where transformation happens. It is where you begin to truly integrate all the tools you have learned along the way: setting boundaries, speaking up for yourself, saying no and meaning it, being gentle with yourself and leaning fully into your feelings.  It can feel scary to step into this space, but it is also so magical. It is here, in the tension between what was and what can be, that you learn to trust yourself and your healing.  Come with me as I explore this fascinating, powerful and sometimes uncomfortable place, The In Between.  linktr.ee/amyloganlife

Stacy London became a household name from the show What Not to Wear, but now she has now given us permission to toss the “rules” and wear whatever the heck we want. We talked about everything from Gen X “uniforms” (hello quarter-zips and yoga pants) to how our bodies shift in midlife and leave us without a style identity. Stacy reminds us that middle age isn't an expiration date—it's a renaissance. And fashion, at its best, is less about rules and more about joy and compassion for ourselves. (I told you it was fashion therapy.) Ps. Check out her new show Wear Whatever the F You Want with Clinton Kelly on Amazon Prime!

You don't need a plan if you've got the right people in your corner.I loved this chat with Brett Trainor, who walked away from corporate life and found something even better—freedom, purpose, and a community of support. Brett shares how his journey unfolded not through strategy, but through relationships. From his first freelance gig to building the Escapee Collective for Gen Xers ready to do work on their own terms, Brett proves that connection is the true currency. We talked about the mistakes he made early on, how Tiktok became an unexpected launchpad, and why your old network might just be your greatest asset. If you're navigating change or considering a shift, this conversation is packed with insight, encouragement, and a reminder that you're never doing it alone.Highlights:1. Relationships Are Your Launchpad - Brett's first freelance gig came from someone he hadn't spoken to in 15 years. Your past connections hold future value.2. How Tiktok Ignited a Movement - He built a Gen X audience of over 70,000 by simply sharing personal stories—no dancing required.3. From Crickets to Community - The Escapee Collective started as a Slack group and evolved into a paid, engaged support hub for corporate escapees.4. LinkedIn Is Still King - He uses Tiktok to funnel people to LinkedIn, where meaningful B2B connections and collaboration actually happen.5. The Power of Being Helpful First - Brett now leads with generosity—offering value without the hard sell—and it pays back in community and credibility.Connect with Brett:Website: https://www.bretttrainor.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bretttrainor/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_corporate_escapeeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bretttrainor/ In appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

Send Jay comments via textThe transition to an empty nest can feel like an identity crisis for parents who have dedicated years to raising children. The question then arises: what's next? How do you find purpose, passion, and fulfillment in this new phase of life?In this inspiring episode, Dr. Janelle explains the two stages of human development: the unconscious “boot camp” where we seek external validation, and the conscious “creating heaven on earth” phase, where we connect deeply with our hearts. She offers practical, powerful strategies to overcome subconscious blocks—like her insight: "If you challenge yourself, you'll attract support. If you stay in your comfort zone, you'll attract challenges."  For those asking, “What now?” after children leave home, she advocates connecting with your heart through gratitude and self-love to discover inspiration for your next steps. Asking the fundamental questions—Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going?—can turn this transition into an exciting journey of self-discovery and purpose.Highlights & Key Takeaways:Loving your children without tying your identity to parenting avoids unhealthy pressure.Making parenting your entire purpose leads to stress for both you and your kids.Understanding the two stages of development helps clarify where you are now.Challenge yourself to attract support, and resist staying in your comfort zone to avoid challenges.Connect with your heart through gratitude and self-love to unlock inspiration.Live authentically as a role model for your adult children.Use self-inquiry—Who am I?

Your Retirement Plan is Probably Failing (And Here's Why)

The 401(k) system promised financial security, but the numbers tell a different story. In this second part of our series, Hans and Brian delve into Fidelity's latest retirement savings data, revealing why the average American's retirement plan may be setting them up for failure.From baby boomers with $250,000 balances to millennials drowning in target date funds, we break down what these numbers mean for your financial future. The math might look clean on paper, but real life has other plans – and the results are sobering.Using actual data from millions of accounts, the hosts expose the gap between retirement planning promises and reality. When 25% of Gen X workers have loans against their 401(k)s and the average retiree faces a life of financial scarcity, it's time to question whether this system works for anyone except the financial industry selling it.The Reality Check: Average Balances Don't Add Up The data is stark: baby boomers average $250K in 401(k)s and $250K in IRAs. Using the sacred 4% withdrawal rule, that's just $20,000 annually in spendable income after taxes. Brian and Hans walk through why even the "successful" savers are facing potential poverty in retirement, especially when you factor in today's cost of living.The Target Date Fund Trap A staggering 70% of millennials are invested solely in target date funds. These funds create continuous taxable events through portfolio churning while charging excessive fees. The hosts explain why "set it and forget it" might be the worst advice young workers are receiving.The Loan Problem Nobody Talks About One in four Gen X workers have outstanding loans against their 401(k)s, effectively disrupting the very compounding they were promised. This isn't a character flaw – it's proof that life happens, and when it does, people need access to their money. The hosts explore how this reality destroys the mathematical assumptions underlying retirement planning.Why the 10x Rule is Setting You Up for Failure Fidelity recommends having 10x your income saved by age 67, but their own data shows the average person has saved for someone making just $50,000 annually. Hans breaks down the math: even if you hit this target, you're planning for a lifestyle of scarcity, not the retirement you actually want.➡️ Chapters:00:00 - Opening thoughts on 401(k) regrets and savings rates 01:00 - Part 2 begins: Fidelity's retirement data breakdown04:00 - Average balances by generation - the sobering reality 07:00 - Hans: "I don't have a hint of regret" about avoiding 401(k)s 08:00 - Historical context: Why the 55-70 age group data matters11:00 - The savings vs. investing language problem 16:00 - Traditional vs. Roth: Why 85%+ are in taxable accounts 20:00 - The outstanding loan crisis across generations 24:00 - Permission to spend: Breaking the scarcity mindset 28:00 - Target date funds: The "appalling" trend 34:00 - The airline industry comparison38:00 - How to increase your savings rate 43:00 - The 10x rule exposed: Planning for poverty 48:00 - Final thoughts: Why this model is an "abject failure”Got Questions?

How do you grow predictable revenue for your non-profit initiative?  In this value-packed episode of Leaders of Transformation, host Nicole Jansen sits down with Jonathan Beck, founder of WeGive—a powerful SaaS platform transforming how nonprofits and faith-based organizations engage donors and fuel their missions. After co-founding PayStand, a global leader in digital payments, and building a successful career in Silicon Valley, Jonathan felt a strong pull to return to his roots and serve the nonprofit world. With WeGive, he's merging innovative technology with purpose, helping mission-driven leaders build stronger supporter relationships and generate sustainable, predictable revenue. Jonathan shares how donor engagement is evolving from basic transactions (“Giving 1.0”) to immersive, personalized experiences through what he calls a Giving Experience Platform. Today's donors expect more than forms and receipts—they want meaningful stories, deeper connection, and seamless digital interactions. Nicole and Jonathan discuss how nonprofits and churches can elevate engagement, integrate modern tech like Salesforce and Planning Center, and use AI to reduce administrative burden. They also dive into the real-world challenges leaders face when navigating digital transformation—and how to overcome them with clarity and confidence. Whether you're an executive director, outreach pastor, fundraising professional, or mission-driven entrepreneur, this episode will inspire you with fresh ideas and actionable strategies to amplify your impact. What We Discuss in This Episode How is “Giving 3.0” different from traditional fundraising methods? What is a “Giving Experience Platform” and how does it work? Why are personalized donor journeys critical for today's nonprofit growth? What practical steps help nonprofits increase donor retention and conversion? How does WeGive integrate with tools like Planning Center, Salesforce, and more? Which donor engagement strategies work best for Gen X and Millennial supporters? What are the biggest barriers to technology adoption in the nonprofit sector—and how can leaders overcome them? How does AI streamline repetitive nonprofit tasks and elevate donor relationships? Who are WeGive's ideal clients—and how do they measure success? What pricing models make advanced fundraising tech accessible for growing organizations?

It's not just a transaction—it's a relationship.” ~ Jonathan Beck “Most nonprofit tools are stand-alone point solutions. What we need is an integrated giving commerce flow that merges online and offline experiences.” ~ Jonathan Beck “AI and integrated platforms are finally letting small teams create the personal, high-touch donor journeys that used to be reserved for huge organizations.” ~ Jonathan Beck Be sure to check out WeGive.com for more info, a demo, or to explore partnership opportunities.

In the second of our small series on Mental Health at Work, Jenn Mason and I tackled a really challenging episode (as you can see by the title). We jumped right in by asking if resilience is being "weaponized" - used as a justification for harmful systems rather than a skill to be supported.  We explore the dark side of a resilience culture, where praising people for surviving toxic, high-demand environments becomes a smokescreen for the actual problem. What is the difference between empowering people to heal versus requiring them to manage the harm inflicted upon them by broken systems? We talk about how this "grind it out" mentality is often hard-coded generationally, something Jenn and I personally experienced coming up in the Gen X workforce.  We share our own stories and hope you'll enjoy them as well.

As we move through August, I want to talk about what I am calling "The In Between." The in between of pain/trauma/struggles and healing and truly moving through it all to get to the place of living the life you want. It is tricky because you are so used to our pain/trauma/struggles that you may not really know who you are without it.  Who are you without high levels of anxiety? Who are you without thinking about how you have been wronged? Who are you without the rumination and worry of your pain? The worry and rumination keep you tethered to your pain. Learning to move through it all takes time and practice. If you find yourself clinging to your pain, don't worry, it is actually a good sign if you can see that you do that.  As you reflect on your own journey, tune into this meditation and let your body relax and connect with your higher self. You have to slow down the noise of life to see if you are stuck in your old ways. They are familiar to you, so it makes sense that you cling. Even uncomfortable feels comfortable sometimes. It can feel very scary to set down this piece of you, the old you, the one that was so in her pain that she could see no way out, to the you that can see a way out, but your identity and stories and way of being, keep you locked into the only way of being you know. This in between is such a scary place to be. However, if you lean into trusting yourself, a whole new world will open up for you. Are you wiling to build your "trusting yourself" muscle? This is the place where all the magic happens.

This week the Jackie and MJ, who are NOT affiliated with the Daughters of the American Revolution, are back for some Second Helpings! Jackie gives an update on what happened to the Snackies from this week's Page 7, Sydney Sweeney's brother is supporting her or something dumb, but tig biddy has been big played out, and Jackie gives a less than stellar review of "Happy Gilmore 2" followed by a brief discussion of Adam Sandler crew's disappointing political beliefs. MJ and Jackie have another chat about the great Goop audiobook, and Kim Jong EW becomes a true tyrant as he has banned hot dogs from North Korea. Jackie was forced to go to a Primus show and had to deal with a bunch of Gen X edgelords, and a recent Phish concert in NYC made MJ realize Phish phans have hit middle age and sent them on a downward spiral. Wednesday season 2 dropped with a collab for an UNHAPPY Meal from Wendy,  and no one wants to wait in line at a Wendy's like that, man!  Walton Goggins did a sexeh ad for Doritos Golden Sriracha flavor, but Nicholas Hoult won't get any as he keeps getting told he's "too inbred looking." A trailer for the new "Running Man" reboot has dropped, featuring old Shark Mouth himself as the star, Matt Rife is gross and he leased Annabelle and the Estate for 5 years, so here's hoping she continues to take out her caretakers! Heinz and Smoothie King have collaborated to release a limited-edition "Heinz Tomato Ketchup Smoothie" because the world is a terrible terrible place, Anthony Hopkins is a great Instagram follow which Jackie happened to discover while watching the Hannibal TV series!

While Brian frolics somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, Jason brings in cyber-sleuth Dave Bittner for a jam-packed episode covering everything from Gen X's slow descent into obscurity to furries, feds, and face-scanning your way into porn. The guys start with a salute to the late, great Tom Lehrer—a math nerd with a piano and zero tolerance for BS—before diving into the avalanche of cyber screwups plaguing today's digital circus.The biggest spill? The so-called “safe” dating app Tea just doxxed its entire user base—because who needs privacy when you've got bad Firebase settings from 2017? Meanwhile, teens are befriending chatbots, Microsoft is issuing pink slips via PowerPoint, and Meta might be training its AI on stolen porn. Add in farmers installing turnstiles in the Dolomites to keep influencers off their grass, age verification laws that Norman Reedus can bypass with a JPEG, and Tesla diners turning into 24/7 neighbor hellscapes, and yeah—it's just another week on the internet.If you're a Gen Xer feeling invisible, underpaid, and over it, congrats—you're not alone. This episode is a full buffet of schadenfreude, digital paranoia, and good old-fashioned grump. Pour a cup of whatever's not boiling, and tune in for the roast.
