Gen X Dad and His Gen Z Teens

About Gen X Dad and His Gen Z Teens

This podcast takes a light hearted look at generational differences about all manner of topics. We explore everything from pop culture to finance to relationships and politics, but, only at a very shallow level and through our generational lenses. We don't aim to be controversial or be the authoritative voice on any topic. We are just here to rap about things that we think are cool and fun to talk about. Also, as a dad, it is my opportunity to publicly and on the record prove that I am always right and my teens are wrong. Gen X was the best time to grow up and I'll show that to my teens!

   S2 Episode 31: Nobody Is Coming To Save You

   No one is going to care about your future more than you do. No one is going to knock on your door and hand you the perfect opportunity. That is not how life works. If you are waiting at home for opportunities to find you, you may be waiting forever. People who move forward do better than people who wait.

   S2 Episode 30: Changing Your Mind

   A lot of us grow up thinking that changing your mind means you were wrong in a way that should embarrass you. We treat it like a failure of consistency. Like if you said one thing last week, you are now trapped defending it forever, even after life hands you new facts, better evidence, or a giant flashing sign that says this is not working. However, that mindset causes a lot more damage than changing course ever does.

   S2 Episode 29: Taking the Long View

   Our brains are wired to pay attention to what is happening right now. Immediate problems demand immediate attention. However, most of the things that feel enormous today eventually become much smaller parts of our story over time. Learning to take the long view helps us look beyond whatever is happening to us right now and remembering that life is a very long story.
