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 Gen-X Files
AARP (the American Association of Retired Persons) continues to shine a spotlight on Generation X, and the results are both validating and unnerving.
In this conversation, Ken and Jim dig into what some AARP-referenced studies and research says about how we’re aging—from our complicated relationship with technology to growing concerns about financial readiness and emerging insights about Gen X health. They also tackle the idea of “obsolete skills” — the ones we once relied on that now make us sound like museum pieces.
With humor, honesty, and a touch of nostalgia, they explore what it really means to be the generation still figuring it out as we go.
