What is crypto I don't know if you guys. 00;15;49;04 - 00;15;56;09 Stephanie Let me read the whole question.

It's you learn something new every day, you know, 75 years old and every day I learn something new because if I don't, I'm in big trouble. 00;17;12;27 - 00;17;27;04 Ted - Baby Boomer I mean, zero you're not in no pulse. You know, you you just life. You know, you always I do go into with the attitude I'm going to learn something from someone, somewhere, somehow, and then try and share that information with people. 00;17;27;06 - 00;17;28;28 Stephanie It's such a great mindset, you know. 00;17;29;01 - 00;17;37;10 Ted - Baby Boomer And just still, you know, you know, you want to be the best friend, neighbor person you can be. 00;17;37;13 - 00;17;45;00 Shaniqua So, well, thank you so much for that. Ted. And Victoria, as your name is sure. You rang Victoria's? 00;17;45;03 - 00;17;46;23 Ted - Baby Boomer it was a set up. That's what. 00;17;46;26 - 00;17;47;15 Ted - Baby Boomer I said. 00;17;47;17 - 00;17;58;09 Shaniqua We we do. I take the time to, like, ask, like, more in-depth questions about, like, you know, your experiences as a boomer, as a millennial. Stephanie, did you have, like, a question? 00;17;58;13 - 00;18;19;21 Stephanie Yeah, I so I was sort of curious coming into this, Victoria for you. what what made you want to come out and represent your generation? Like what prompted that? Not everybody just jumps on a podcast, right? So, like, I love what they do, like, see this and be like, I want to show up for millennials. 00;18;19;23 - 00;18;55;07 Victoria - Millennial so full transparency. I got laid off two months ago and, building my coaching business, and I've always wanted to share my story. So this was an opportunity. And in my previous job, I was a product manager, but also, did coaching with inside the company. And I think something that as a millennial is really dear to my heart is how to make workplaces more, purposeful and respectful of, I'm going to say, humans being basic needs, like sleep movement, food. 00;18;55;07 - 00;19;01;18 Victoria - Millennial Because there's some people who just skip lunch, you know, and and so I wanted to share. 00;19;01;20 - 00;19;05;00 Stephanie like Gen X here. I wanted to share. 00;19;05;03 - 00;19;12;19 Victoria - Millennial yeah. Like what? It's like to be a millennial today. just in the day to day, but also I work. 00;19;12;21 - 00;19;21;14 Stephanie Thank you for that. What about you, Ted? Like, what was your sort of impetus to come out and represent for the boomers in your generation? 00;19;21;17 - 00;19;27;25 Ted - Baby Boomer Well, this lady, I know you think maybe you know her too. She mentioned this to me. It's her mom. 00;19;27;27 - 00;19;30;03 Stephanie And I'm so connected. 00;19;30;05 - 00;19;30;14 No. 00;19;30;15 - 00;19;31;08 Ted - Baby Boomer No nepotism. 00;19;31;13 - 00;19;32;24 Right. 00;19;32;26 - 00;19;33;15 Ted - Baby Boomer But we're. 00;19;33;15 - 00;19;34;04 Stephanie Not related. 00;19;34;04 - 00;19;37;21 Ted - Baby Boomer No, no. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's why your mom's not right. 00;19;37;24 - 00;19;42;29 Stephanie We audition mom and you and. Yeah. Okay. We made an equal, like, selection, so it was judicious. 00;19;43;02 - 00;19;44;06 Yeah. 00;19;44;08 - 00;20;05;15 Ted - Baby Boomer But in all seriousness, you know, I want people to know that, you know, not everybody is doddering around, you know, with a walker or sitting on the porch and just going like this. I'm on the move constantly. I'm going, people say, well, you're how old am I? So I'll be 76 on my birthday. And so no, you don't look your age. 00;20;05;15 - 00;20;27;12 Ted - Baby Boomer I said, I don't act my age either, because up here we're still 29 and it's a mindset. And you want to learn and you want to share. And I don't know, I just in my job, my field, I was one of the senior pilots at the end, obviously. But you had younger people and you passed along that knowledge to them. 00;20;27;15 - 00;20;49;26 Ted - Baby Boomer You wanted to pay it forward things. You spent 40 some odd years learning. They didn't have that advantage. But you can. Things they don't cover in a classroom that's on. You're on the job. You learn more from the people you work with and share it, no matter what the age they are. And it's it's just I think, you know, it's just me. 00;20;49;28 - 00;20;52;16 Ted - Baby Boomer And that's what I do. And. 00;20;54;09 - 00;21;13;07 Ted - Baby Boomer When you're open and you know. I like loud music. I got Sirius XM in the car, and it's all 60s - 70s you know? So it's this kind of thing where, you know, it keeps you young, it keeps your mind going. And I like this. So far, so good. 00;21;13;09 - 00;21;16;27 Stephanie Well, I think you you're representing well right out of the gate. 00;21;16;29 - 00;21;18;27 Ted - Baby Boomer Closing in on 100 now. 00;21;18;29 - 00;21;20;25 Wow. Yeah. 00;21;20;27 - 00;21;40;13 Shaniqua That's beautiful. And I, I want to ask, in similar fashion, both of you, this question, what generational wisdom would you pass down to younger generations? And what could the younger generations teach you or teach your generation? We'll start with you, Ted. 00;21;40;16 - 00;21;41;01 Ted - Baby Boomer Start with me. 00;21;41;01 - 00;21;41;28 Okay? 00;21;42;01 - 00;22;15;21 Ted - Baby Boomer I think it's you. You can't experience everything in life, by yourself. You know, you're going to either not be exposed to it or you make a serious mistake and you're not around to do it. You know, you need to learn things from other people and teach that to them. So, cause you benefit from it, financially. things like I encourage anybody, you know, put away money for retirement. 00;22;15;23 - 00;22;37;20 Ted - Baby Boomer I mean, you know, I wish my parents had done that to me at a young age because, you know, you, you know, retirements down the road, you're old, but you compound interest thing and you start putting money away. You don't have to do that much at first. And you have all that time on your side looking back on it from, you know, 50 years, you said, wow, I wished I'd done this. 00;22;37;22 - 00;23;05;20 Ted - Baby Boomer I was fortunate to be able to catch up big time with the job I had. But not everybody has that that chance or choice, you know, to available to them. So things like that, that makes a difference when you get to this point, you know, you, you, the quality of your life is much better when you're not just depending on Social Security or whatever else you might have because so many, so many corporations now don't have the traditional retirement plan. 00;23;05;26 - 00;23;25;04 Ted - Baby Boomer Right? I, you know, they face to face in that out. And even American Airlines went to a 401 K. They stopped. They froze it. Which is right. Those of us had a lot of money in it. Didn't lose it. They didn't put it to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation like a lot of airlines did. But they you know, you need to start. 00;23;25;06 - 00;23;41;28 Ted - Baby Boomer It used to be a three legged stool for retirement. Now there's lots of legs to the stool. It's more like a puzzle with enough people because people change jobs all the time. I mean, you know, our thing was you worked with the company forever, and then you retired, got a watch and a pension, you know, now it's different. 00;23;41;28 - 00;23;45;25 Ted - Baby Boomer And and that's something that, you know, you want them to. 00;23;45;27 - 00;23;46;28 And. 00;23;47;00 - 00;24;00;22 Ted - Baby Boomer It affects the quality of your life down the road, which sometimes it's hard to see when you're starting a business and doing all these things, it's you're fully invested right now and you just want to remind her, hey, you know, don't forget about this part. 00;24;00;26 - 00;24;01;02 Yeah. 00;24;01;09 - 00;24;04;17 Shaniqua So what would you learn from younger generations? 00;24;04;19 - 00;24;34;01 Ted - Baby Boomer Technology. You know, seriously, you know, you know, it's, my kids say, oh, let me do it for you. And at first I was doing that because, see what they watched in the grandkids even or the oldest. But I've learned to do it, you know, I'll ask them, you know, because I've learned enough from them to be able to explore my own and kind of go that way before I raise my hand and say, help, you know, because they they give you that incentive to learn. 00;24;34;03 - 00;24;36;21 Ted - Baby Boomer And that's the thing that keeps it keeps you young. 00;24;37;16 - 00;24;54;27 Ted - Baby Boomer It does keep you young to, to keep up with trends. And, and I said, well, let's just, you know, like I said, you know, I'm deer in the headlights with social media said, don't do it. Personal choice. But, you know, that's a downhill. That's what most people do. Do it. 00;24;56;01 - 00;25;17;05 Ted - Baby Boomer And, you know, all the other things that are involved in it. So, you know, I, I didn't need it for a business, you know, to promote a product. I mean, people showed up with tickets anyhow at the airline, but it's stuff that you see, what's, what's changed in the, in the landscape. So your cart, you didn't just stop in 1999 or whatever. 00;25;17;07 - 00;25;18;00 Stephanie It's. 00;25;18;02 - 00;25;24;14 Ted - Baby Boomer Going on. And, you know, I've been retired almost 11 years, but something new every day, you know, 00;25;24;16 - 00;25;26;06 Stephanie I was like, well. 00;25;26;09 - 00;25;38;23 Shaniqua Victoria, what, what generational wisdom would you pass down to younger generations? And what could the younger generation, younger generations, teach you or our generation? 00;25;38;25 - 00;26;06;23 Victoria - Millennial if I start with passing down, I'd say probably since millennials were the generation where we didn't really start with tech, but now there is tech and there's more and more tech. I think we're always, kind of in this. We knew the world without technology and we've known it also with. So I think we're still the generation that has the ability to, I would say, like cut off from technology or understand the shortcomings of it and not always be very highly dependent on it. 00;26;06;25 - 00;26;32;10 Victoria - Millennial What I'd say to younger generations is to like, understand, like how much is accessible through today. Our phones are computers, and also maybe go back to what older generations were doing of being more present, being more like outside in nature, because when you were bored, you could sit in the grass and look at the sky. You weren't like automatically scrolling through your phone. 00;26;32;10 - 00;26;54;23 Victoria - Millennial And I think that's something where we like the younger generations, we want know things faster, like better, almost perfect right from the get go. And so there's a certain sense of, like dissatisfaction very quickly, that, you know, is fed also through social media because you get that dopamine hit every time you get a funny, real cool picture. 00;26;54;26 - 00;27;33;00 Victoria - Millennial and from the older generations, I think you were talking about like, also teaching or like learning. I think as much as older generations can learn about technology, I think it's something that I even like in my family, I wish I could do more of is learn more from, the boomers in my family. and that the boomers don't think that because the world has changed so fast or evolve so fast, and that there's, you know, so many new things that they didn't have that they're kind of, I would say, like outdated or has been because I think there's a life like, as you said, you have a life worth of knowledge that can 00;27;33;00 - 00;27;55;29 Victoria - Millennial be shared and also to the right people, like you need to have someone who is willing to listen. but you're like, I've learned something from just the five minutes we were talking about your career in aviation. and I think that's where the cycle needs to kind of loop back. It's not because you're a certain age that you have nothing left to give, right to society or the community or whatever system you work in. 00;27;56;02 - 00;28;16;07 Shaniqua and just so it sounds like, you would want to like, share with the younger generations. Like how? Like life before actually media, you want to learn from the older generations of like from their wisdoms. What, what would you want to learn from the younger generation? 00;28;16;10 - 00;28;46;11 Victoria - Millennial I think it's something I'm adopting. It's more I would say you mentioned that you kind of talented had before, like people had like careers that were, you know, 20 years in the same company. And I think my generation was more like, okay, jump every 3 or 4 years because, you know, you can get a better salary. And like, that's when you've kind of done your thing in a company and you want to go see a seek a new adventure, I think from the newer generations, because there's such a push for, 00;28;47;10 - 00;29;10;24 Victoria - Millennial I think like purpose and alignment. There's a lot I can see, a lot more people not following, I'm going to say traditional routes of like going to college, getting certain degrees, doing the career. And I think there's like beauty in that sort of freedom and just seeing what the world will give you if you follow your, I'm going to say, your intuition or your passion. 00;29;10;24 - 00;29;22;27 Victoria - Millennial Yeah. Your passion. that can sometimes scare, I'm going to say generations that are more into stability and comfort of, you know, a 9 to 5 job with a paycheck every two weeks. 00;29;23;00 - 00;29;23;05 that. 00;29;23;05 - 00;29;51;27 Stephanie Was really insightful. And I think that's real true about the, consistently what what we hear from Gen Z and, and beyond. let's I'm curious, you know, and we're going to be probably going to wrap up pretty quick, but, I have a curiosity question around. I ask this a lot. I wanted a myth or misconception that you want to dispel about your generation right now. 00;29;51;29 - 00;30;01;18 Stephanie And then if you can follow that up with a hope that you have for your generation, who wants to take that one? 00;30;01;20 - 00;30;36;06 Ted - Baby Boomer I'm thinking your other than the stereotypical old person. Like I was just trying to say, you know, you say old and people just think, you know, I get again, you know, somebody who's frail or, you know, but yes, people do have health challenges, but not everybody does. And. What we need is, you know, to be for this to really go well is to be open to communicating and not just, oh, you know, one of those that, you know, what are they going to tell me? 00;30;36;06 - 00;31;01;26 Ted - Baby Boomer Or an older person, my generation will say what those young whippersnappers are going to teach me. Well, you'd be surprised if you're open to it. It's there. And the dialog goes both ways. It's a dialog, not a I want you will it. That was you know, children should be seen and not heard. The quiet generation you know. So you know, that's our generation started to challenge that more and be open. 00;31;01;26 - 00;31;04;13 Ted - Baby Boomer You know the children that 50s in the 60s you know. 00;31;04;14 - 00;31;08;11 Stephanie So is that a myth that you would dispel that y'all aren't an open the. 00;31;08;13 - 00;31;09;04 Ted - Baby Boomer Right that. 00;31;09;04 - 00;31;14;14 Stephanie You are. You are open to communication. So what's a hope that you have for your generation. 00;31;14;16 - 00;31;23;27 Ted - Baby Boomer That a lot of them would, you know, hopefully have better health? You know, be open to I won't even get into the FDA and all that. 00;31;24;00 - 00;31;24;22 Stephanie Go, we will have time. 00;31;24;22 - 00;31;43;17 Ted - Baby Boomer But but you know, explore it. You know, you it's you know, it's so important to have the good health, you know, to really put yourself out there, stay in shape, do thing, know you don't have to go to the gym every day, but just walk and go out. Like you said, be in nature and, you know, greet people on the street and say, hi, how are you doing? 00;31;43;17 - 00;31;54;20 Ted - Baby Boomer And start a dialog with your neighbors or rank strangers that you meet every day. Some of the best stuff is people you just meet one time, but you kind of build a bridge, if you will. 00;31;54;25 - 00;31;58;01 Stephanie Oh, it sounds like you really want the boomers to stay connected. To stay. 00;31;58;02 - 00;32;00;26 Ted - Baby Boomer Yes. Yeah they do. Yeah, yeah. Good way to put. Thank you. 00;32;00;28 - 00;32;01;16 Stephanie You're welcome. 00;32;01;17 - 00;32;04;13 Ted - Baby Boomer Why don't you say that earlier I was yeah. 00;32;04;15 - 00;32;13;18 Stephanie And I love the way you said it too. What about you Victoria. What's what's a myth or misconception you'd like to dispel? And then what's a hope that you have for millennials? 00;32;13;20 - 00;32;18;22 Victoria - Millennial so going back to the, the I'm going to bring up the avocado toast, debacle. 00;32;18;24 - 00;32;20;09 the book. 00;32;20;11 - 00;32;22;11 Victoria - Millennial I think it was called avocado.-gate. I saw. 00;32;24;24 - 00;32;52;13 Victoria - Millennial I think, I think before there was, you know, we were talking about retirement and like, wealth and, and avocado get kind of started because, it was about people being able to afford a house. And as much as I, you know, think like today, there is pressure of because costs are higher and real estate is higher, that, my generation might not be able to afford housing the way our previous generations did. 00;32;52;16 - 00;33;16;15 Victoria - Millennial I also want to say, I think there's also maybe not the same values that we put on needing to have, home. And I think that's something that before it was part of like your life trajectory, you know, you got married, you bought a house, you got married, you had kids, you filled the house with the kids. and and today when I think about my lifestyle, like, yes, I want to. 00;33;16;15 - 00;33;43;02 Victoria - Millennial I want it somewhere like that. I can call home. Do I just need to be a house, or does it need to be a big piece of real estate? I don't see that as much because I think my generation wants more flexibility and traveling. And so because we want to be able to move around, if you have also, you know, real estate to hold on to sometimes it's also like a tie that can be heavy to manage from wherever you decide to go live or travel to or move out. 00;33;43;03 - 00;33;44;05 Ted - Baby Boomer Yeah. It's an anchor. No. 00;33;44;06 - 00;33;45;25 Yes, yes, yes. 00;33;45;27 - 00;34;09;05 Shaniqua I agree with that, Victoria, where it's like we're looking we're kind of redefining what is of the nuclear family like. Could it be like the community I'm part of? do I personally have to have kids or can I be an aunt to the children around me in my neighborhood, or can I live in apartment? You know, like, I, I completely understand where you're coming from with that. 00;34;09;05 - 00;34;13;14 Shaniqua And, what is a hope that you have. 00;34;13;16 - 00;34;52;18 Victoria - Millennial the hope for my generation? I think we've gone through a lot of, like, I'm going to say like expansions and contractions in the markets, but, like, you know, there's like 2008, in the last 2 or 3 years, it's it's kind of not been good either. like, you know, there was like the whole tech boom. And now tech companies are laying off and I think my hope is that we kind of are able to let go of this kind of constricting feeling of like there's not enough money, there's not enough jobs, and that people still like there's still the world out there, there's still people out there, and ooh I have chills just saying this, 00;34;52;21 - 00;35;08;23 Victoria - Millennial and that we have like the ability to just like create more space and, and, and more of whatever it is that we want. yeah. I think and not live in this fear of there will be not enough and something is going to dry out at some point. 00;35;08;25 - 00;35;23;04 Stephanie both of you, those were such profound answers. And I really I've learned so much in the time that we've spent together, and I've had a lot of fun. And I really appreciate the my game work. 00;35;23;06 - 00;35;25;08 And like, 00;35;25;11 - 00;35;34;04 Stephanie Do you have any closing thoughts that you want to share before we wrap up? Is there anything else you want to add to the conversation? Shaniqua. 00;35;34;06 - 00;36;02;17 Shaniqua well, I just wanted to thank you both for coming out and sharing your different perspectives on life. It's wonderful to hear, like, the wisdom, that you both have shared. And it sounds like that both boomer generation and millennial generations are really seeking, community. Ted, speaking out, sharing that, you know, wanting to be part of other, generations lives and learning from them and sharing with them. 00;36;02;19 - 00;36;23;11 Shaniqua And it sounds like you also want that from, the boomer folks in your family. it's reassuring to see you two sit next to each other, laughing as we were in our commercial break. So I think what, my takeaway is what we see in the media may not be true, the divisiveness. So thank you both for joining us today. 00;36;23;13 - 00;36;30;17 Ted - Baby Boomer And that's so true because it all depends on what their objective is instead of one last parting shot. 00;36;30;21 - 00;36;31;25 Yeah. 00;36;31;27 - 00;36;57;01 Ted - Baby Boomer I've traveled so many places around the world, and I learned we all have more in common than we do. Differences doesn't matter. Your religion, your language, whatever. People basically everywhere want the same thing. and if you get to talk to them and see that, you understand that. Okay. So we look different, we talk different, but it's there's this continuity across there that we all have more in common than we do differences. 00;36;57;03 - 00;37;16;08 Ted - Baby Boomer And you just have to tune out the noise of the media sometimes. And what the government might want you to believe. Do it on a personal basis. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans haven't traveled more than 50 miles from home, so, oh, that's a limiting factor. Going to Disney World is not seeing the world. Yeah. 00;37;16;15 - 00;37;41;22 Stephanie Anyhow you know and on on on that. No I mean y'all coming out. You're modeling the behavior of what you're hoping for for the people around you, you know. And so I applaud that and celebrate that because I think that's what we all have to do for each other is we have to take the risk, and we have to model the behavior that we want to see in the world. 00;37;41;22 - 00;37;45;01 Stephanie So thank you so much for being here today. 00;37;45;02 - 00;37;45;24 Ted - Baby Boomer More than welcome. 00;37;45;26 - 00;38;00;18 Stephanie We really, really appreciate it. And thank you, audience for joining us. You are going to want to make sure that you stay tuned for the Gen X versus Gen Z episode, which will be coming up. 00;38;00;21 - 00;38;07;04 Shaniqua And the, as a Gen Xer, are you rooting for Gen X or. 00;38;07;07 - 00;38;10;28 Stephanie I have anxiety because I think that's kind of a Gen Xer thing. 00;38;10;28 - 00;38;13;21 Okay, I'll make it. 00;38;13;23 - 00;38;17;05 Shaniqua I don't know, Gen Z might say that they have the anxiety, so I. 00;38;17;05 - 00;38;25;07 Stephanie Feel like they're in in much of the ways that we saw some alignment in our film, you're going to see some interesting alignment there as well. And so it'll be fun. 00;38;25;11 - 00;38;25;29 Yeah. 00;38;26;01 - 00;38;38;08 Shaniqua Well, we'll see you next time. Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel. from Illumination to Innovation.
