Podcast Overview

Welcome to GenX Journeys, the podcast that celebrates reinvention, resilience, and the unstoppable spirit of Generation X! 🎸💥 Formerly known as Journey of the Rhode Runner and Inspiring Journeys, this evolution reflects the path so many of us are on—rediscovering our passions, rewriting our stories, and proving that it's never too late to thrive. Each week, we bring you: 📅 Wednesdays – New episodes of GenX Journeys, featuring inspiring conversations with thought leaders, athletes, entertainers, and everyday warriors who embody the GenX mindset: work hard, play hard, and never stop growing. 📅 Thursdays – Throwback Thursdays, where we revisit classic episodes from Return to the '80s—a nostalgic deep dive into the movies, music, and pop culture that shaped us. 📅 Fridays – Power Surge, a short, high-energy dose of inspiration to fuel your mindset and keep you moving forward. Each episode begins with a heartfelt tribute to a fallen hero, honoring the mission of 22 Too Many. Because the best part of your story? It's still being written. 🎤 Hosted by Paul Stroessner, runner, writer, pop culture enthusiast, and proud GenXer on a mission to inspire. #GenXJourneys #NeverTooLate #ThrowbackMeetsFuture #Reinvention #NostalgiaAndGrowth

A Thousand Questions, A Hundred Answers | Lara Brenckle Malmont's Journey to Three Rivers Home

<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-start="338" data-end="453">Every family has stories. Some are passed down from generation to generation, while others are nearly lost to time.</p> <p data-start="455" data-end="854">In this episode of <strong data-start="474" data-end="491">GenX Journeys</strong>, Paul Stroessner and Suzanne Mattaboni welcome author <strong data-start="546" data-end="571">Lara Brenckle Malmont</strong> to share the remarkable true story that inspired her debut novel, Three Rivers Home. What began as childhood curiosity about a grandfather she never met turned into a twenty-year journey through family records, newspaper archives, courthouse documents, and long-forgotten letters.</p> <p data-start="856" data-end="1123">Along the way, Lara discovered a little-known chapter of Pittsburgh history involving children who were "farmed out" through Allegheny County's early foster care system—while also uncovering a deeper understanding of resilience, family, and the stories that shape us.</p> <p data-start="1125" data-end="1381">The conversation also explores growing up Gen X, the books that inspired a generation of readers and writers, the influence of journalism, preserving family history before it's lost, and why asking questions may be one of the greatest gifts we can pass on.</p> <p data-start="1383" data-end="1567">Whether you're fascinated by genealogy, historical fiction, or simply love hearing meaningful conversations, this episode is a reminder that every family has a story worth discovering.</p> <hr data-start="1569" data-end="1572" /> <h3 data-section-id="1rem6bq" data-start="1574" data-end="1593">In This Episode</h3> <ul data-start="1595" data-end="1964"> <li data-section-id="1sevnf" data-start="1595" data-end="1638"> Growing up Gen X in and around Pittsburgh</li> <li data-section-id="l62mrv" data-start="1639" data-end="1698">How childhood curiosity became a 20-year research project</li> <li data-section-id="1lcf09s" data-start="1699" data-end="1742">The true story behind Three Rivers Home</li> <li data-section-id="1cs9h7r" data-start="1743" data-end="1804"> Forgotten history and Pittsburgh's early foster care system</li> <li data-section-id="1q2uln" data-start="1805" data-end="1855"> Journalism, storytelling, and historical fiction</li> <li data-section-id="4httk5" data-start="1856" data-end="1909">The books that shaped a generation of Gen X readers</li> <li data-section-id="rkcqua" data-start="1910" data-end="1964">Why preserving family stories matters more than ever</li> </ul> <hr data-start="1966" data-end="1969" /> <h3 data-section-id="tuxlar" data-start="1971" data-end="1990"> About Our Guest</h3> <p data-start="1992" data-end="2356">Lara Brenckle Malmont is a Pittsburgh native, journalist, and author of <a href= "https://amzn.to/4vzBzve">Three Rivers Home</a>.

What is Inspiring Journeys?

Welcome to GenX Journeys, the podcast that celebrates reinvention, resilience, and the unstoppable spirit of Generation X! 🎸💥

Formerly known as Journey of the Rhode Runner and Inspiring Journeys, this evolution reflects the path so many of us are on—rediscovering our passions, rewriting our stories, and proving that it's never too late to thrive.

Each week, we bring you: 📅 Wednesdays – New episodes of GenX Journeys, featuring inspiring conversations with thought leaders, athletes, entertainers, and everyday warriors who embody the GenX mindset: work hard, play hard, and never stop growing. 📅 Thursdays – Throwback Thursdays, where we revisit classic episodes from Return to the '80s—a nostalgic deep dive into the movies, music, and pop culture that shaped us. 📅 Fridays – Power Surge, a short, high-energy dose of inspiration to fuel your mindset and keep you moving forward. Each episode begins with a heartfelt tribute to a fallen hero, honoring the mission of 22 Too Many.

Because the best part of your story? It's still being written.

🎤 Hosted by Paul Stroessner, runner, writer, pop culture enthusiast, and proud GenXer on a mission to inspire.
