In this powerful opening to the Generational Wisdom series, Carl invites listeners to rediscover the enduring lessons of the Silent Generation (1928–1945) — people forged by the Great Depression, World War II, and the dawn of modern America. Through vivid storytelling and heartfelt dialogue with Sig Anderman, a serial entrepreneur and subject of the documentary Grit & Gratitude: The Sig Anderman Story. This episode paints a stunning portrait of the quiet virtues that built postwar prosperity.
From cardboard shoe soles to moon landings, Carl and Sig explore how hardship shaped a generation of unshakable resolve — and how their radical resourcefulness, perseverance, faith, and community spirit can still guide us today. Listeners are challenged to reflect on what this era's strength says about our own.
This episode is ideal for listeners seeking perspective, history enthusiasts, and anyone craving a return to core values like duty, integrity, and unity. The Silent Generation reminds us that gratitude, faith, and perseverance are timeless tools for building strength in an age of distraction.
