We've received a number of reader emails encouraging us to make last week's "Off The Cuff" podcast available to everyone.
It explores the generational fault lines in today's society, which are experiencing building pressure as the status quo struggles to continue in the arriving era of de-growth.
In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Becca Martenson discuss:
- Boomers Have Everything To Lose
- They cling to status quo to deliver promises made in the past
- Millennials See Nothing To Gain
- The future they're being asked to inherit appears bereft of value
- Bridging The Generation Gap
- How to replace strife with support
- The Importance Of Mentoring
- An age-old model need perhaps more now than ever
This week, Chris's wife Becca joins him for a particularly unscripted and untraditional conversation about the tensions pitting old against young in today's society. As Chris describes the root issue:
Boomers have everything to lose if the status quo isn’t maintained and millennials increasingly think they have nothing to gain by preserving the status quo. It’s an enormous divide and we don’t quite know how to close that gap up. It feels like it’s getting wider.
I think I saw it politically in particular the Sanders campaign and who he attracted and why. And the why for me was, he was offering non-status quo-centric stuff.
