What if everything you've been told about creating influence is wrong?
This week on the podcast, I deconstruct the recent New York Times Style magazine article about Generation X, which reveals how a generation dismissed as 'slackers' actually created the blueprint for authentic influence and how their legacy can inspire anyone seeking to use their voice for real impact.
In this episode, I explore:
Why Gen X's reputation as "slackers" is a myth, and how their discernment and authenticity shaped culture
Lessons from iconic Gen X art and films (The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and more)
How Gen X's refusal to perform for approval is a model for today's influential voices
Why authenticity, not polish, creates lasting transformation for speakers
The connection between Gen X wisdom and my book "Being Smart is Stupid"—why performing intelligence undermines real leadership
