Welcome to the What is Really Important podcast, hosted by Kirk White and Christina Sheer. This is the show that hopes to bring you engaging conversations about life changing transformations. Today, Kirk and Christina discuss the perceived differences between Millennials and Gen X and what they believe the truth to be.

Christina is an enthusiastic, optimistic, tech savvy and entrepreneurial person. Ironically, this is often the opposite of how Millennials are viewed. In her experience, other people of her generation, especially those that walk with God, are like her. Kirk adds that Millennials are often saddled with large debt and have less opportunities to start their own businesses because of this.

Kirk explains that he often didn’t fit in with others in Generation X because of his entrepreneurial spirit. He often found he got less respect due to ‘not having a job’ like others his age. He relates more to Millennials in that respect because he feels they have a similar attitude towards life and work as his own.

Kirk and Christina go on to talk about attitudes regarding work/life balance. Christina discusses the blurring of boundaries with the prevalence of technology and Kirk brings up the way Gen Xers always seem to be working for retirement without being present.

They end today’s episode by telling us what they believe their respective generations value most. Christina thinks Millennials are more experiential, present and looking to leave a lasting impact. Kirk believes Gen Xers value stability over experiences. In the end, God is your provider and you should take the opportunities he provides you, regardless of generation.
