Generation X was raised to believe that military service, skilled trades, or a college degree would guarantee stability and success. But by the time we entered adulthood, the world had already changed—and no one gave us a new map.
In this episode of IN THE KNOW with Tony Reeves, I break down why Generation X wasn’t truly prepared for the shifting economic, cultural, and social landscape we inherited. From the decline of unions to the skyrocketing cost of education, we were navigating a world our parents never had to—and doing it in real time.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about recognition. And it’s about honoring the resilience of a generation that adapted anyway.
🎧 Tune in to explore:

The three “guaranteed” paths Gen X was raised to follow
How rapid changes left us unsupported
Why Gen X became the bridge generation
What it really means to adapt when the rules change mid-game

Whether you’re Gen X or just curious about how one generation learned to pivot under pressure—this episode is for you.
