Episode 7: Why Gen X Is The Best, Part 2 with Brothers Tim and Scott McIntosh. Gen X is rad. Not only did we introduce iconic movies and music into pop culture, but we were also the first generation to really diverge from cultural norms. But today’s episode is all about the movies we loved in the 80s and 90s. Do you agree with any of our choices? Guests Tim McIntosh is Creative Director at Westfall Gold. Recently married, Tim and his wife Gaelyn are expecting their first child this year! He currently lives in Atlanta and hosts two podcasts called Close Reads and The Play’s The Thing. Scott McIntosh co-owns Meats and Foods, a delicious luncheonette in Washington, DC. with his wife, Anna. Scott is a hulking 6’5” tall with a fantastical beard, but is the stereotypical “gentle giant.” He is an excellent movie critic and avid Washington Nationals fan. He doesn’t host a podcast, but he should.

I’ve had a couple of friends in their mid-50s retire recently, and although I’m not ready to retire yet, it got me thinking more seriously about it. Until now, it was something that was going to happen a long time from now, but then I started to realize it is closer than I thought. And frankly, I’m a little worried that I won’t be prepared financially.

Ep 2 - Gen Xers Dealing with Stress with Dr. Benjamin F Miller, IV Gen Xers face challenges related to work-life balance, managing family priorities, and financial stress as many in this age group are in their prime working years and may have demanding careers and families to manage.

How can we manage the stress of our lives? Guest Dr. Benjamin F. Miller is an advocate for mental health awareness and education, and a champion of more robust and equitable health policy. Dr. Miller, PsyD, is the past president of Well Being Trust, a national foundation dedicated to advancing the mental, social, and spiritual health of the nation. Over the last two decades, Dr. Miller has worked tirelessly to prioritize mental health in our policies, programs, and investments.
