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.

The Odd Couple: Gen X and Friendship
In this episode, Ken and Jim dive into the complicated, essential world of friendship. Two Gen Xers, raised on self-reliance and independence, who approach connection very differently—one cautious, one trusting—but both fiercely aware that friendships shape how we age.
In discussing their own experiences with friendship, including their own, they unpack some of what makes friendship so important and at times challenging for our generation.
Is friendship the same for us at 60 as it was at 20?
Grab a friend, listen together, and maybe start a new conversation about what friendship really means.
