Confessions of a Gen-X Mind

A podcast about life, love, work, and the strange trip of growing up in the weirdest generation alive. Gen-X kids were raised on contradictions.
 We were latchkey philosophers who worshipped Ferris Bueller, Marty McFly, Run-DMC, Metallica, and MTV as our holy texts. We grew up in the shadow of Reaganomics, the War on Drugs, “Just Say No,” moral panics, and ozone holes. We were told to follow the rules by adults who were breaking every single one behind the scenes. Some of us had BMX bikes. Some of us had skateboards.
Some of us had uncles who preached Jesus on Sunday and ripped off the federal government on Monday.
 I had… all three.

Confessions of a Gen-X Mind is my attempt to make sense of the stories, traumas, cultural whiplash, and dark comedy that shaped my life. I grew up rich-adjacent in Texas, transplanted from Detroit, surrounded by pious fraudsters, land-flipping schemes, bankruptcies, private planes, jet skis, and family drama that could’ve made an entire season of Dallas look understated.

Now I’m a grown man, a voice actor, a creative, and an autistic Gen-X survivor with a front-row seat to the collapse of institutions, families, and the myth of the “Good Christian Businessman.”

This podcast blends:

• Personal stories from the S&L scandal era
• Growing up neurodivergent before we even had the language for it
• Love, loss, and late-in-life clarity
• Music, media, and the culture that raised us
• Dark humor and no-BS reflections on work, adulthood, and what it means to grow up with chaos and come out the other side

If you were shaped by skate videos, mixtapes, Sunday school guilt, and the sound of a modem connecting…

 If you ever felt like the adults were making things up as they went along…

 If you’ve lived enough life to finally tell the truth about it…

Welcome home.

Pull up a chair.
 

Grab your Walkman.

 And let’s dive into the confessions.
