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.

Loved this episode. Jim’s comment about acknowledging the loss that comes with getting older but choosing where to focus was to me the answer to making peace and finding joy in getting older.
This was fun--fun to think about movies that made an impression on my younger self.
great conversation about choosing to challenge yourself and also choose what that looks like and doesn't.
from Tara--loved this, made me think a lot about the gifts of getting older.
