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.

Living Real: Far from the Shallow NOW
Psychologist and author Dr. Camille Preston joins Ken and Jim for a deeply personal and timely conversation inspired by her new book, Living Real. Together, they explore what it means to live with emotional depth in a world that pushes us to stay busy, be upbeat, and get distracted.
Camille introduces the concept of shallowing—the habit of avoiding life’s hard feelings in a misguided attempt to stay afloat. But as she explains, when we numb the lows, we also miss the highs.
This episode is about burnout, grief, identity, and the lifelong journey of unlearning the pressure to always do—so we can remember how to truly be. Whether you're navigating a transition, wrestling with questions about what really matters, or simply tired of feeling stretched thin, this is a conversation that invites you to slow down and live real.
