Gen X at 60
We’re Ken and Jim—two of the first Gen Xers to turn 60—and this milestone is pushing us to ask questions we’ve never asked before. About aging. About identity. About what we’re still becoming.
In Gen X at 60, we talk about the things we never talked about—not with each other, and maybe not even with ourselves. From ambition and adventure to friendship, legacy, lust, and eldership, we explore what it really means to grow older when you’re part of the generation raised to figure it out alone.
Our professional careers have centered around communication, emotional intelligence, and learning—so we’re wired for deep conversations. But we also bring humor, perspective, and a willingness to wrestle with what’s still unfolding. This isn’t advice. It’s not nostalgia. It’s a conversation we hope you will join—as these two Gen Xers shape what 60 means for us, instead of inheriting what it meant for everyone else.

No Gold Watch, No Roadmap: Gen X at the Edge of What’s Next
We’re the first generation arriving at 60 without a clear script for retirement. For our parents and grandparents, retirement was the endpoint. A gold watch. A pension. A La-Z-Boy recliner with a view. But for us? The lines are blurrier.
In this episode, we talk with fellow 60-year old Paul Scott, the mind behind LifeDesign, a venture focused on helping people consciously design the next phase of life after full-time work.
Together, we explore what happens when your job stops defining you… and you finally get to decide what comes next.
Whether you’re ready to reinvent, slow down, or just think out loud about what’s next, this conversation is for anyone staring at the second half of life and thinking: there’s got to be more than this.
