Brad HerdaHOST
And I gotta tell you, I went down the rabbit hole on his site and my mind was blown.
Steve DoyleHOST
Plus, we find out Carrie's from Generation Jones.
Steve DoyleHOST
It's like a whole new generation we didn't even know existed.
Brad HerdaHOST
We dive into why traditional pay surveys are useless.
Cary SparrowGUEST
correct.
Steve DoyleHOST
Absolutely.
Steve DoyleHOST
So before we get too much further in the show and cause me to forget, Kerry, what generation do you identify with? I'm in Generation Jones.
Steve DoyleHOST
Generation Jones,
Harvey MartinHOST
What are you?
Dean HallGUEST
They call it generation Jones now.
Dean HallGUEST
Never heard of that.
Dean HallGUEST
Yeah, I hadn't either.
Dean HallGUEST
Yeah.
Dean HallGUEST
We got the promise that the boomers got, but we never got to, we were just at the right age where every time we just about get there for this promise that the boomers got, the door or the window would close and we'd be like, and that happened in just about every area of our lives.
Dean HallGUEST
And so that's why they call it Generation Jones, always jonesing for something, but never.
Dean HallGUEST
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Harvey MartinHOST
What are you?
Dean HallGUEST
They call it generation Jones now.
Dean HallGUEST
Never heard of that.
Dean HallGUEST

Dean HallGUEST
Yeah.

Tony KennettHOST
OK, here's the thing that a lot of Americans understand, including, by the way, in disproportion, more of the boomers.
Tony KennettHOST
the pseudo-generation Jones and Gen X.
Tony KennettHOST
They have seen this before and want certain generational changes that may be painful at first, but will bear what they argue is long-term gains.
Tony KennettHOST
Again, you know very, very clearly this is something that I've been concerned about before.
Suzanne Degges-WhiteGUEST
There was a social clock in play.
Suzanne Degges-WhiteGUEST
And the generations from Generation Jones, you know, on backwards, we were willing to play by those rules.
Suzanne Degges-WhiteGUEST
But today, the rules have changed so much and life is so different that sometimes trying to make big decisions is so much harder now than it was a decade ago or two generations ago when things weren't open to so much variability.
Suzanne Degges-WhiteGUEST
And I think that this lifestyle being like, it's big, it's major, it's going to define who I am.
John SiuntresHOST
Things really change.
John SiuntresHOST
And that's why this Generation Jones has suddenly appeared that is 54 to 64.
John SiuntresHOST
And I kind of agree with that because I don't have, you know, I mean, really.
John SiuntresHOST
I'll tell you after.
John SiuntresHOST
The suburbia migration from the city and my lawn is better looking than your lawn.
John SiuntresHOST
I got to keep up with the Joneses.
John SiuntresHOST
That's where Generation Jones came from.
VeronicaGUEST
You're not wrong, though.
Tony McGrathGUEST
And, you know, I started very much in the corporate world.
Tony McGrathGUEST
I'm from the generation between Boomers and X, like that weird Generation Jones, I think they call it.
Tony McGrathGUEST
So, you know, I grew up in the UK with two parents.
Tony McGrathGUEST
One was very much an entrepreneur.
David RothkopfHOST
No, I'm a boomer.
David RothkopfHOST
I'm actually Generation Jones, you know, the end of the boomers.
Leigh McGowanGUEST
Oh.
David RothkopfHOST
So I like to say Generation Jones because it doesn't make-
Leigh McGowanGUEST
I'm end of the Xs.
Leigh McGowanGUEST
I'm end of the Xs.
David RothkopfHOST
Um, um, but yeah, no, I'm a boomer.
David RothkopfHOST
I'm actually Generation Jones, you know, the end of the boomers.
Leigh McGowanGUEST
Oh.
David RothkopfHOST
So I like to say Generation Jones, because it doesn't make-
Leigh McGowanGUEST
I'm end of the Xs.
Leigh McGowanGUEST
I'm end of the Xs.
Tony KennettHOST
Instant gratification culture sucks.
Tony KennettHOST
And by the way, when the boomer generation, and again, the half-Jones generation after them, when they're polled about concerns, this is one of the biggest concerns that they have, and they're darn right to be concerned for it.
Tony KennettHOST
Instant gratification kind of populism is a huge issue.
Tony KennettHOST
So if he would have gotten up and said that, that would have been a good start.
