Amazing fact: Dolly Parton wrote “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” in one day. The same day.

Speaking for Gen X, it was that red-haired character. Spider-man and X-Men were our jam in the 80s, when most of these adapted stories hit high level.

Spider-Man 2 is the only real competitor. I like this one best, but maybe it's because I had a crush on <redacted spoiler> when I was 12. Weird, I know.

Hello from Copenhagen! If you’ve just finished up The Bear, you’ll be happy to know this is the houseboat Marcus stayed on when he visited the city in season 2. And yes, it’s available for rent on Airbnb.

532,000 Americans started new businesses in January alone, a 36.8% increase from the previous year. And according to the Wall Street Journal, 150,000 Americans left the country entirely in 2025, which is the first net negative migration since the Great Depression. Let’s connect those dots.

What if I told you that the most profitable solo companies aren’t solo at all? The implication (and possible downside) is that you’re on your own. But that’s not quite right. And that’s because the most powerful solo companies don’t operate in isolation. They collaborate.

Big companies need fewer people to succeed. This reality will only accelerate. The twin dynamics of AI and ageism make Gen X especially expendable. The flip side: You can start tiny, highly profitable companies that let you earn everywhere and live anywhere. Same force. Different outcome.

You gave your best decades to companies that are making decisions about your economic viability without your input or regard for your well-being. You can’t control when they hire you, when they eliminate you, or whether other management will think differently about you.

Here’s the mistake most people make when they try to change: * They follow the guru’s playbook. * They copy someone else’s success story. * They adopt the strategies of a prominent entrepreneur or bestselling author. And they fail or burn out. Because that person’s genre is different from yours.

If you're between 45 and 65, you’ve likely realized the game has changed. The old playbook (get good grades, climb the ladder, retire at 65) is broken. The new reality requires new strategies. Time to rewrite the script. Or if you prefer, adopt a new playbook.
