When I was in my late teens, my grandfather invited me to bring my girlfriend over for “Sunday Dinner.” He was going to grill us steaks and sit down with this young lady he'd heard about. I loved my Pop and was proud to show off this gorgeous girl I'd snagged. So, we went to worship in the morning, grabbed a light lunch, and hung out for a bit before making the drive down to the farm in Germantown. We planned to get there around 4pm since we knew old people like to eat a bit early and we didn't want to be rude. Allie and I were bewildered by his unusually gruff greeting. Honestly, he seemed a little put out to see us! It didn't take long for us to realize that he had finished his cold “dinner” hours ago without us. He must have really leaned into his Silent Generation status by stewing instead of following up when we failed to appear at what was to him a clearly appointed hour! We apologized and explained the confusion, that we were used to the word “dinner” meaning the evening meal. Pop wasn't one to hold a grudge against his grandchildren, so it was quickly forgiven. But I haven't forgotten. We do something similar with the word “Sabbath.” We've adopted the word from another generation and culture and adapted it to serve our own ends. For all practical purposes, a Jewish Sabbath and a Christian Lord's Day have very little in common. So, it can be a bit of a feat for us to connect the dots between Biblical teaching on the weekly sundown rituals and what we do with our Sunday morning worship. A lot of assumptions are being made that might make us miss our precious appointment. Hopefully, Psalm 92 can help us bridge the gap this Sunday morning at 10:30am. 

In today's episode of Scaling UP! H2O, host Trace Blackmore sits down with workplace resilience expert and U.S. Marine veteran Tiffany Wentz‑Root to decode how different generations show up in the industrial water treatment industry. From the Silent Generation's post‑war loyalties through Baby Boomers' commitment to long hours, Gen X's distrust of corporate loyalty, Millennials' desire for purpose and feedback, and Gen Z's demand for emotional literacy, the conversation illustrates how each cohort was shaped by historical and technological upheaval. The discussion reframes "hustle culture" and argues that a focus on mental health and values alignment can increase retention and performance. Generations and the events that shaped them Tiffany explains that generations are roughly 20–30 year cohorts defined by shared formative experiences. The Silent Generation (1928‑45) endured the Great Depression and World War II; Baby Boomers (1946‑64) were taught loyalty and stability; Gen X (1965‑80) witnessed mass layoffs and became fiercely independent; Millennials (1981‑96) were helicopter parented and accustomed to participation trophies; and Gen Z (1997‑2012) grew up online, socializing via games and apps and weathering school shootings and a pandemic. These histories explain why Baby Boomers and Gen X equate "hard work" with hours logged, whereas Millennials and Gen Z measure effort by pride, alignment and emotional impact. Gen Z's exposure to constant online crises makes them the "anxious and afraid generation" with record rates of anxiety and depression, highlighting the need for supportive leadership.   Hustle culture versus emotional literacy The conversation challenges the idea that toughness equals success. Wentz‑Root stresses that leaders must "stop prizing strength" and recognize that feeling and processing emotions is hard work. She advocates for environments where people can bring their whole selves to work rather than suppressing feelings in order to conform to traditional hustle culture. She notes that Gen Z sees phone calls as "prehistoric" and prefers to communicate via apps like Snapchat or Discord, so older professionals should adapt their communication style—using fewer capital letters, punctuation and more emojis or GIFs—to avoid appearing angry or dismissive. For water treatment companies seeking to recruit young professionals, she urges them to articulate company values and support mental health, because Gen Z will leave if work doesn't align with their skills or passions. Practical strategies for leaders and organizations To bridge the generational divide, Wentz‑Root proposes creating a "social contract": a collaboratively defined set of values, behaviors and communication norms that are revisited regularly. Such agreements encourage teams to discuss how they prefer to give and receive feedback, when to use Slack versus meetings, and what good work looks like across ages. She also recommends structured cross‑mentorship, matching senior employees who are nearing retirement with junior colleagues based on skills rather than age, so institutional knowledge isn't lost. She cautions against judging younger staff as entitled or weak; rather, leaders should ask why behaviors exist and treat differences as strengths. Lastly, she reminds Baby Boomers and Gen Xers that sharing decades of hard‑earned experience with Gen Z isn't charity—it's how you build a legacy and ensure the industry thrives. For water‑treatment professionals, recognizing that "different doesn't mean wrong" can unlock better collaboration, innovation and resilience. By replacing judgment with curiosity, establishing social contracts and mentorship programs, and adapting communication to younger workers, leaders can turn generational tension into an asset.

We need to understand that emotions are very difficult to face. To feel your feelings, to name them, to process them—that's hard" "When I asked, 'What's your definition of hard work?' the baby boomer said, 'I put in a lot of hours.' Gen X said, 'I put in a lot of hours.' Millennials said, 'I get the job done and I'm proud of it.' Gen Z said, 'It's when the work that I've done aligns with my skills and my passions, and I feel good about what I did'" "Judgment kills curiosity … When I see someone of a different generation with a different way of communicating, I automatically go, 'That's bad, that's weird.' Instead, I want you to step into curiosity and say, 'Why would they do that? What happened in their life that shaped them to be this person?'"   Connect with Tiffany Wentz-Root Phone: (425) 359-5088 Email: tiffany@resilientroots.com Website: resilientroots.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffanywentz-root/    Guest Resources Mentioned  Generational Diversity Outline  Bridging the Gap: Navigating Generational Diversity at Work 17776: What football will look like in the future by Jon Bois Pity the Reader: On Writing with Style (Paperback) by Kurt Vonnegut (Author), Suzanne McConnell (Author) Washington's Farewell: The Founding Father's Warning to Future Generations by John Avlon   Scaling UP!

Generations and the Stories That Shape ThemEvery generation believes their experience is normal. But when we take a step back and listen to one another, we start to see just how much the time we were born into shapes the way we see the world.In this episode, we begin a new conversation about generations and the differences between them. From the Silent Generation to Generation X, we talk about the cultural moments, historical events, and shared experiences that have influenced how people think, work, and live.  We begin wrestling with bigger questions.Do different generations actually value the same things?Are we shaped more by shared experiences or by individual choices?And when people talk about the “good old days,” were they really that good?As we explore these questions, we look at the strengths and weaknesses often associated with different generations and how those differences influence the way we understand the world around us.This episode sets the stage for a larger discussion. Next time, we turn our attention to Millennials and the generations that follow, and the conversation only gets more interesting from there.In This EpisodeWe talk about everyday differences between generationsWe discuss how technology has changed boredom and waitingWe explore how major historical events shape generational perspectivesWe consider the strengths and weaknesses often associated with different generationsWe ask whether the “good old days” ever really existed Thanks for Listening!

In this episode, we take a ride through one of our favorite rabbit holes — how the world changed insanely fast across just a handful of generations… and how that speed has completely reshaped the way we live, communicate, listen to music, drive cars, raise kids, and even think about time itself.We start with a viral nostalgia post that sparked a massive reaction online and quickly realize that what feels “normal” depends entirely on when you were born. From the Silent Generation to Gen Alpha, we unpack how each group grew up in a totally different technological reality — rotary phones, party lines, and answering machines… all the way to smartphones, streaming, and kids who've never known a world without touchscreens.Generations & Tech Deep DiveAlong the way we revisit:The weirdly communal (and slightly chaotic) days of shared phone lines and busy signals. Generations & Tech Deep DiveDial-up internet — when going online meant tying up the house phone and praying no one picked it up. Generations & Tech Deep DiveRecording songs off the radio, burning CDs, and the lawless Napster era that changed music forever. Generations & Tech Deep DiveThe evolution from pagers and car phones to today's always-connected digital existence. Generations & Tech Deep DiveHow cars, communication, and even our tolerance for risk and convenience have shifted with each generation. Generations & Tech Deep DiveWhat starts as nostalgia turns into a bigger question:Are generational differences really about age — or about the technology that shaped our formative years?This one is part history, part cultural therapy session, and part “how did we survive that?” storytelling. If you've ever tried explaining to a teenager what rewinding a cassette meant, this conversation is for you.This week we accidentally turned a simple nostalgia conversation into a full-blown generational investigation… and possibly a group therapy session for anyone who remembers when the internet made noise.After stumbling across a viral post that set the comment section on fire, we started asking a simple question:Why do people from different generations remember reality so differently?Turns out, it might have something to do with growing up in completely different technological universes.We're talking about a journey that starts with shared phone lines, rotary dials, and answering machines that ate your cassette tape… and ends with kids today who can FaceTime someone across the planet before they can tie their shoes.Generations & Tech Deep DiveIn this episode we revisit:The chaos of party-line telephones, where privacy was basically a myth and your neighbor might be listening. Generations & Tech Deep DiveDial-up internet — when logging on meant sacrificing the household phone and waiting through robot screeches like you were summoning technology from the underworld. Generations & Tech Deep DiveThe golden era of recording songs off the radio, burning CDs for your friends, and pretending Napster wasn't definitely illegal. Generations & Tech Deep DiveThe evolution from pagers and brick phones to today's pocket supercomputers that somehow still run out of battery by 2 p.m. Generations & Tech Deep DiveHow every generation thinks the one after them is ruining everything… while also using technology they don't fully understand. Generations & Tech Deep DiveSomewhere along the way we realized this isn't just nostalgia — it's about how insanely fast culture, risk, communication, music, and even attention spans have changed in just a few decades.If you've ever:Yelled “GET OFF THE INTERNET, I'M TRYING TO MAKE A CALL,”Owned a phone that could survive a nuclear winter,Or tried explaining rewinding a tape to someone born after 2010……this episode is for you.Cheers!m&t

In this episode, Kevin Britz is joined by leadership and marketing specialist Craig Page-Lee for a deep, timely conversation on one of the most important workplace realities shaping 2026 and beyond:

In this powerful episode of the Generational Wisdom Series, the conversation turns toward the future through the lens of Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha. Carl welcomes Mike DiCioccio, a Millennial voice and the show's producer, along with guests Dr. David and Katie Barry, Nick Stanton, and Luisa Pastorek, to explore how younger generations are being shaped by digital life, global uncertainty, and rapid cultural change. As the discussion unfolds, Carl reflects on the insights gained from earlier episodes covering the Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, and Gen X — weaving together themes of perseverance, family, faith, and community. This episode highlights the distinct identity of younger generations while emphasizing the timeless values that continue to bind society together. Mike reflects on his personal journey through the evolution of tech, social media, and podcasts, and shares how the music and pop culture of previous generations have greatly influenced him. Joining the conversation, fellow Millennials Dr. David and Katie discuss the enduring importance of faith and family, values that remain deeply rooted in many younger people today. Gen Z guest Nick speaks to the challenges and anxieties of growing up in a polarized, tech-saturated world, urging responsibility, research-based thinking, and caution against overdependence on AI. Luisa, representing Generation Alpha, brings a fresh and thoughtful perspective on identity, attention span, digital immersion, and the importance of real human connection. Featured Guests in this episode: Mike DiCioccio Podcast Producer | Host of Mike'D Up! | Founder of Social Chameleon   Dr. David & Katie Barry Professor of New Testament and Greek at Greenville Seminary   Nicholas Stanton Graduate Student at Hillsdale College   Luisa Pastorek Student   Connect with Carl: Instagram Facebook LinkedIn YouTube Website   Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill To Every Page a Turning: One Life's Journey    Produced by: Social Chameleon

In this powerful opening to the Generational Wisdom series, Carl invites listeners to rediscover the enduring lessons of the Silent Generation (1928–1945) — people forged by the Great Depression, World War II, and the dawn of modern America. Through vivid storytelling and heartfelt dialogue with Sig Anderman, a serial entrepreneur and subject of the documentary Grit & Gratitude: The Sig Anderman Story. This episode paints a stunning portrait of the quiet virtues that built postwar prosperity. From cardboard shoe soles to moon landings, Carl and Sig explore how hardship shaped a generation of unshakable resolve — and how their radical resourcefulness, perseverance, faith, and community spirit can still guide us today. Listeners are challenged to reflect on what this era's strength says about our own. This episode is ideal for listeners seeking perspective, history enthusiasts, and anyone craving a return to core values like duty, integrity, and unity. The Silent Generation reminds us that gratitude, faith, and perseverance are timeless tools for building strength in an age of distraction.

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. Dr. Cromer provides a breakdown of different communication preferences, values, and characteristics associated with the Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z.  The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these generational differences—such as the Silent Generation's preference for formal, face-to-face communication versus Gen Z's preference for short, visual information—to improve workplace dynamics and client care, highlighting that effective communication is paramount to successful veterinary practice.   Sponsored by: AAEP Practice Life is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim.

Join our regulars and our first Silent Generation and oldest guest, Betty, for a fun discussion about women's and men's fashions over four generations. This episode is fun, funny and informative comparing fashions that go back 80+ years over 4 generations. It's about poodle skirts, pedal pushers, skinny and stonewashed jeans, being dapper, zoot suits, wishing men's fashions could go back to the 1920s, ringer washers, ironing underwear and more. 

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.

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

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning by Strauss and Howe, unpacking the seismic cultural shifts of the Awakening era. From the GI Generation's confidence after WWII to the Silent Generation's contradictions and the Boomers' rebellious rise, this discussion draws striking parallels to today's upheavals. They trace how Vietnam, Watergate, civil rights battles, and shifting family dynamics set the stage for generational conflict and cultural realignment, while also exploring how children of the 1960s and 70s were shaped by fractured homes, Hollywood's anti-child narratives, and a society growing hostile to traditional structures. With humor, historical insight, and a sharp eye on how these cycles echo into the present, CannCon and Ashe help listeners see the patterns that repeat, and why understanding them matters now more than ever.

Have you ever stopped to think about how different generations view the world, the church, and even the gospel? In kids ministry, we often focus on reaching the next generation—but understanding where they've come from and who's come before them is just as important. Every generation brings its own values, challenges, and perspectives to the table, and as ministry leaders, we have the opportunity—and responsibility—to bridge those gaps.Chuck Peters and Jana Magruder unpack the unique characteristics of each generation—from the Silent Generation and Baby Boomers to Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha. Jana explores how generational traits influence ministry approaches, communication styles, and discipleship strategies while Chuck emphasizes the need for ministry leaders to adapt, fostering intergenerational connections and creating spaces where all generations can grow together in faith.Whether you're new to next gen ministry or a seasoned leader, this conversation offers practical insights and inspiration to help you lead more effectively across generations.

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning with Chapter 7, exploring how the GI, Silent, and Boomer generations shaped America's trajectory from post–World War II prosperity into the turbulence of the Consciousness Revolution. They trace the rise of the GI “We Generation,” the Silent Generation's conformity and cautious prosperity, and the Boomers' emergence as the idealistic prophets of cultural change. From the optimism of the 1950s to the upheavals of the 1960s and 70s, the hosts map how each archetype responded to shifting challenges, laying the groundwork for the awakenings and crises to follow. Dense, thought-provoking, and highly relevant, this chapter brings historical rhythm into focus while hinting at where we might be headed today.

Send us a textThe workplace has transformed into a fascinating ecosystem where up to six generations now collaborate side-by-side. From the loyal Silent Generation to the tech-savvy Gen Z, with Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials bridging the gap, each group brings perspectives shaped by radically different historical events and technological revolutions.What happens when a Baby Boomer who prefers phone calls works alongside a Gen Z team member who communicates primarily through emoji-laden messages? How do you motivate a team when one generation values public recognition while another seeks autonomy? These aren't just interesting questions—they're daily leadership challenges that determine whether your team's diversity becomes its greatest strength or its most persistent friction point.All episodes and guest requests can be found at:www.leadershipmomentspodcast.comFollow Stacey Caster on Instagram @staceycaster_Follow Tracy-Ann Palmer on Instagram @tracy_ann_palmer

Generation Gap has been on the air nearly ten years, hosted by Dorothy Wilhelm. and Ray Miller Still, Editor in Chief of The Enumclaw Courier Herald. Ray says there are only 2 Courier Herald Newspapers in the World. One is in the United States and One in Ireland. So it's been our custom to decide on the question we'll discuss for each show. Dorothy, born in 1934, is a member of the Silent Generation. The Silent Generation is generally defined as those born between 1928 and 1945. This generation grew up during the Great Depression and World War II, which significantly shaped their values and worldview. We're called Silent because we didn't make waves. We didn't protest. We had seen the Great Depression and the Great War. We just wanted peace and civic involvement. Ray is a member of the Millennials who were born between 1981 and 1996, making them approximately 29 to 44 years old in 2025. This age range is defined by the Pew Research Center and is widely accepted, although some sources may vary by a year or two. And then our newest Generation Gap member is Jason Falls. we're still working on remembering what generation he belongs to, but we think Gen z. Stand by for late breaking bulletins. This month Ray suggested that we talk about the video games that everybody is playing these days. It didn't work out too well. Ray wanted to hear about the games that Dorothy played, and she denied ever playing a game in her life. Jason was ready to dive in. Born in 1975, he's a member of Gen x, according to the books, but I'm not convinced. He just doesn't seem like an X - more about this later. We were all ready to talk about games. According to Generation z blogs, this is an important indicator of the generations. It doesn't say why. Gen Z is the most important generational shift so far, according to Gen Z Blogs but their experiences and outlook are not understood well enough by those who have come before them. Generation Z has huge, as yet mostly untapped, potential to meet the challenges of today. In 2025 Generation Z will form over a quarter of the UK workforce and an even larger proportion of US. The older ones are already in management positions in large companies and ripping up the rulebook on their own. Their importance in the workplace will grow. But back to our question. Dorothy is steadfast in her determination not to play games or even have a pedicure for that matter. So you'll want to tune in next month to hear the final word on Why Generations Fight and if we can possibly get along. I actually thank we can, but I'm not sure I can learn one of those electronic games. But little old people can't manage those teeny keys. This is the closest thing to a drop dead question that we've had on Generation Gap. What do you think about old time hands and new time games. Learn more about your ad choices.

The recent passing of Rabbi Berel Wein (1934-2025) is an opportunity to reflect on the Jewish world in which he grew up and later had such a wide impact. A child of Lithuanian immigrants, he grew up at a crossroads of American Jewish history. The children of the immigrant generation were overwhelmingly secularizing, and yet he emerged from the yeshiva in Chicago with a deep connection to his parents and teachers world of prewar Lithuania. In serving as a bridge between generations, he greatly amplified the role of Jewish history and continuity in transmitting the values of the past to future generations.

You'll enjoy the conversation about Generational Differences. I know you will want to hear and share with those you know!About Dr Kimberlee Mendoza-She grew up in Southern California, but now reside in West Texas with my husband. Dr Kimberlee, is a Professor of Humanities & Leadership at Wayland Baptist University, where she teaches Leadership, Humanities, & Writing.   She is an author, playwright, communicator, and friend. Dr Kimberlee, has a PhD in Leadership Studies from Johnson University. One of my favorite hobbies is traveling to share good leadership practices with leaders throughout the U.S. She has also taught military leaders, at the Lion's Club and Chamber of Commerce, as well as several  professional developments in heath care, business, and education.Show Notes--Generational Theory: You are influenced by the culture, the movies, the music, parenting styles, and more.-Generation: A group of people who shared time and space in history that gives them a collective persona.-Dr Kimberlee's book:Teaching Squirrels: How to Reach Generation Z and Create Lasting Engagement-Link: https://a.co/d/7eLgW2y -Dr Kimberlee Mendoza's website: https://www.kimmendoza.com -What are the five types of generations?1. Greatest Generation- born 1901 to 1925.2. Silent Generation- born 1926 to 1944.3. Baby Boomers—born 1945 to 1964.4. Generation X—born 1965 to 1979.5. Generation Y—born 1980 to 1994.6. Generation Z—born 1995 to 2010.7. Generation Alpha- born 2011 to 2021.-What are some of the factors that influence a generation?1. Culture – What are the cultural outputs of an era?  Who were the greatest music artists, the best actors / actresses, the best movies, the fashion icons.? All these aspects tell us a lot about what a generation stands for; what they cared about, and how they wanted to be seen.2. Social–  What are the social structures, especially the family and parenting styles, both have a huge effect on who we are. In the United States, family structures have evolved throughout the years: from the prevalent nuclear family that most Baby Boomers are familiar with to today's multi family structures that include nuclear, blended, multi-generational, and single parent households.3. Economy – Economic booms and busts always had a huge influence on attitudes, beliefs and behaviors of a generation. 4. Political – The political context is also a significant factor especially if it includes extreme events like wars or wild card events like terrorist attacks. Think Vietnam war for Baby Boomers, or September 11th for the Millennials. These events are not only  memorable but also play  a major role in how a generation views the government and its actions. Trust is another dimension we carefully consider in generational research.5. Technology –  Constantly evolving,  technology always puts its mark on a generation. It influences every aspect of our lives including communication, mobility, learning, and so on… each generation has a few major technologies that shape their behaviors and lifestyle.MY NEW NORM Podcast-Email: mynewnorm@email.comCommunity / MERCH: www.mynewnorm.shopFaceBook: @mynewnormInstagram: @mynewnorm_podcastmynewnorm.buzzsprout.com/ / YouTube.com/@mynewnorm

In a special bonus episode, Kelly is joined by Nathan from the podcast Silent Generation. Nathan tells us the fascinating love story between Emma Goldman and Ben Reitman, two radical people who lived very unconventional lives together in the early twentieth century. Once called “the most dangerous woman in America,” Emma was an anarchist revolutionary, writer, and political activist. Ben Reitman was a hobo-turned-doctor (for real!), the founder of a hobo college, and a notorious ladies' man. When Emma and Ben met in 1908, it was perhaps love at first sight. Both believed in free love—or so Emma thought. Mentioned in the episode: No Regrets: Dr. Ben Reitman and the Women Who Loved Him by Mecca Reitman CarpenterThe Damndest Radical by Roger A.

I promise you that today's podcast will be one of the most helpful podcasts I have done with you. Just a quick note from our past week: Jeana and I spent three days in Orlando, Florida, for an annual conference we attend called The Mega-Metro Conference for Pastors and Wives. I have now participated in this conference for thirty-seven consecutive years. We prioritize it because God always blesses and encourages us when we gather for this event. We provided leadership for this conference in three different years during my Cross Church tenure. We are thankful to Pastor Chris Bell and his wife, Nan, who served this year by leading and designing the program for these various gatherings at the conference. Pastor Chris Bell is the Lead Pastor of the multi-campus 3 CIRCLE CHURCH based in Fairhope, Alabama. Now, let's get right into my podcast for this week. While conversations about the various generations occur daily, they are usually about the younger generations, such as Generation Alpha, Born 2013-2025; Generation Z, Born 1997-2012; and, of course, the Millenials, born 1981-1996. While we must always be aware and committed to the next generations, we can never forget the others. For example, where would we be today without Generation X, Born 1965-1980 and now in their forties to late fifties? Then, we have the Baby Boomers Generation, Born 1946-1964, now in their sixties to eighties. Furthermore, what about the Silent Generation, Born in 1928-1945, now in their eighties and nineties? Finally, we cannot forget The Centenarians, people born in 1925 or earlier, and some 100,000+ of these people live in the United States.

Podcast Notes   Episode 458 Generational Differences, with Cayden Miller Host: Brian Miller, PCC Guest: Cayden Miller, PharmD Date: March 27, 2025  In this episode, Brian Miller and his son, Dr. Cayden Miller, explore how different generations—from the Silent Generation and Baby Boomers to Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z—have been shaped by key historic events and technological advances. They also explore the evolving workplace, contrasting previous generations' commitment and hands-on learning with today's desire for recognition, meaningful feedback, and validation. The dialogue touches on coaching as an emerging solution to bridge generational gaps, helping organizations harness the strengths of Millennials and Gen Z while managing rapid job turnover and shifting communication preferences.

Digital Natives vs. Digital Immigrants: Insights into how Millennials and Gen Z navigate social media, with early experiences around Facebook signifying the shift in communication and connection, compared to older generations valuing in-person interaction. Work Ethic & Expectations: Contrast between the loyalty and “paying dues” mentality of Gen X and earlier generations versus Millennials' and Gen Z's need for recognition, meaningful work, and faster progression without prolonged entry-level roles. Coaching for Workplace Growth: Highlighting coaching as a tool to empower employees—to foster independence, integrate feedback, and reduce costly turnover—especially among younger workers. Impact of Economic Pressures: Emphasis on how current economic realities force Millennials and Gen Z to juggle multiple jobs, highlighting the need for supportive strategies in recruitment and retention. Takeaways: For Managers & Employers: Involve employees in decision-making processes to make them feel valued and heard, which can improve engagement and lower turnover.

As a real estate investor and a registered CPA, he understands the tax benefits of cost segregation studies. Sean initiated his real estate journey by investing in small multi-family properties before launching a commercial real estate syndication company called Maven Equities.  He did so because he started his career as a CPA in public accounting. He soon realized a traditional corporate path wasn't for him, so he began exploring real estate. His first property was an FHA-financed house hack. After experiencing the challenges of residential rentals, he moved into self-storage facilities drawn by less tenant turnover and streamlined management. He continues managing his portfolio of residential rental properties while investing in and developing self-storage facilities. With a background in public accounting, tax, and private equity, Sean leverages his expertise in scaling teams and maximizing tax benefits through cost segregation studies.   As Maven Equities expanded, he began hiring virtual assistants to help with scaling. After learning the best practices for finding quality overseas talent, he founded Maven Success to assist other entrepreneurs in doing the same.   Most recently, Sean launched Maven Cost Seg to help real estate investors access cost segregation benefits at an affordable price. He remains involved in managing his residential rental portfolio while also focusing on self-storage facility development.   Find out more: https://mavensuccess.com/conversation  Email: sean@mavencostseg.com  Discount code: https://mavencostseg.com/conversation/

Have you ever met someone who's excited about menopause? It might seem like a rare breed, but isn't it time we reconsider our relationship with aging? While society often tells us that 50 should look like 30, the reality is that growing older is a badge of honor—even if it comes with its own set of quirks. Menopause, instead of being a dreaded foe, is more like an old friend that invites us to a new chapter filled with wisdom, laughter, and some hilariously unpredictable moments.  Rather than shying away from this natural transition, Cheryl Bridges Johns encourages us to lean into it, celebrating the changes and uncovering the vibrant selves we've always been. Through her insightful book, “Seven Transforming Gifts of Menopause,” she illuminates the idea that this phase is an opportunity for rediscovery—like uncovering a hidden treasure chest on a stormy day. As we navigate these waters together, it's easier to see that aging is not the end; it's merely the beginning of a bravely authentic and empowered life. PLUS an all new episode intro from Amy and Jen who get into a Rant & Rave segment about the joys of permimenopause and menopause that you won't want to miss. * * * Thought-Provoking Quotes: “Women are allowed to age but we are not allowed to mature.” - Cheryl Bridges Johns “We're the daughters of the Silent Generation but our daughters don't have to be.” - Cheryl Bridges Johns “Menopause is a gift to revisit. What did you let go, what did you repress? The uncovering of menopause is like a storm that comes in and you realize there's a ship where you couldn't see it before. It was hidden and the storm became a clearing, an uncovering.” - Cheryl Bridges Johns Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Silent Passage - Gail Sheehy - https://bit.ly/4dTE1Ve  How to Survive a Shipwreck: Help Is on the Way and Love is Already Here - Jonathan Martin - https://bit.ly/4gaB5oL  The Wisdom of Menopause: Creating Physical and Emotional Health During Change - Christiane Northrup - https://bit.ly/3TifroB  Jen's Blog - What's Saving My Life Right Now: Perimenopause Edition - https://shop.jenhatmaker.com/pages/perimenopause-survival-guide Guest's Links: Cheryl's Website - https://cherylbjohns.com  Cheryl's Twitter - https://twitter.com/cb_johns  Connect with Jen!
