このコンテンツについて

We’re not the lost generation. We’re the underestimated one.

While the internet obsesses over Gen Z and glorifies Boomer dominance, Gen X remains the generation history keeps skipping. This show changes that.

Hosted by Vince Chan—Global Top 1.5% podcast producer and host of the U.S. #1 careers podcast Chief Change OfficerGen X Legends features real Gen Xers: coaches, creators, founders, executives, and reinvention artists who’ve outgrown the old playbook and designed careers worth living.

Forget the hype, the hustle-posting, and the midlife glow-up myth. This is the generation that weathered dot-com crashes, financial crises, and digital disruption without performative reinvention—and came out smarter, sharper, and still in motion.

We don’t chase virality. We design for longevity.

If you’re tired of the noise and hungry for honest, grounded, human wisdom…You’re in the right generation. And now, you’re on the right show.@ 2025 Gen X Legends

  • #22 Chris Hare: Strategy Starts with the Story You Believe
    2025/06/02
    Chris Hare never wanted the spotlight—but he knew how to move the system from the inside. In Part 1, the narrative strategist behind Amazon and Microsoft breaks down how one story, told at the right time, can shift billion-dollar strategies—and why Gen Xers might be the best story-readers in the room.

    >>From Ad World to Strategic Narrative
    “I started in marketing, but I got tired of talking at people.”

    Chris shares how his path from advertising to Amazon and Microsoft led him to discover a deeper kind of storytelling—one that doesn’t sell, but aligns and activates.

    >>Stories Fuel the Narrative—But Don’t Confuse the Two
    “Stories are time-bound. Narratives are ongoing.”

    He breaks down the difference between stories and narratives using a flywheel model—and why most companies misuse both.

    >>When a Story Shifts a Billion-Dollar Business
    “One conversation in Brooklyn rewrote the future of Amazon Marketplace.”

    Chris recounts how a single founder story changed the internal narrative at Amazon, sparking a strategic shift toward supporting brand owners—not just resellers.

    >>Narrative Isn’t a Department—It’s the Operating System
    "Everyone thinks they own the narrative. The CMO. The CEO. The team.”

    He unpacks why narrative must be rooted in strategy, and why trying to split it between brand, marketing, and product only creates confusion.

    >>How Change Starts with Listening
    “Storytelling isn’t a hero’s journey framework. It’s a pattern recognition discipline.”

    Chris explains how real narrative work starts with deep listening and curiosity—and how companies can design strategy around human insight, not hype.

  • #21 Erika Ayers-Baden: Grit, Goals, and the Generational Advantage
    2025/06/01
    Erika Ayers Badan—CEO of Food52, former CEO of Barstool Sports, board leader, media powerhouse, and author of _No One Cares About Your Career_—lets us behind the curtain.

    From negotiating screen time as a kid to rewriting the rules as a high-profile executive, she reflects on how grit, autonomy, and unfiltered curiosity shaped everything—from her parenting to her management style. She shares why she no longer chases titles, what failure really teaches us, and why today’s “toxic culture” talk often needs more clarity than cancellation.

    For Gen Xers raising kids, leading teams, or just trying to keep their values intact in a noisy world, this episode is the deep breath you didn’t know you needed.

    >>The Original Streaming Negotiation
    “My brother and I shared one hour of TV a week. That’s how I learned to negotiate.”

    Erika reflects on the creative, disciplined upbringing that shaped her independence—and how it made her a better leader, dealmaker, and parent.

    >>Titles Are Overrated. Impact Isn’t.
    “I cared about titles in my 20s. Now I care about purview.”

    She explains why chasing titles is a trap—and why real career growth is measured in responsibility, resilience, and reach.

    >>Fail Always Mode
    “If you feel like you’re failing, it means you care—and you’re trying something new.”

    Erika breaks down why failure isn’t just tolerable—it’s necessary. And why she rewards effort over perfection every time.

    >>Culture > Buzzwords
    “I’m allergic to gossip, inertia, and pontificating.”

    From toxic culture to real collaboration, Erika shares her no-BS filter for building teams that do the work and actually like doing it.

    >>Gen Alpha, Gen X, and the Parenting Gap
    “I worry their advantages are actually disadvantages.”

    She gets honest about parenting kids in a hyper-stimulated world—and why she’s racing the clock to instill resilience before the clay hardens.

  • #20 Erika Ayers-Baden: No One Cares About Your Career—So Build One That Works for You
    2025/06/01
    Erika Ayers Badan isn’t here to polish the truth—she’s here to say it louder.

    In this first of a two-part series, the current CEO of Food52 and former CEO of Barstool Sports breaks down the raw realities behind her debut book, No One Cares About Your Career. From writing on commuter trains to fielding hundreds of workplace questions a week, Erika shares why her advice hits different—because it’s honest, hard-earned, and hyper-relevant for a Gen X audience still rewriting the rulebook. This isn’t a pep talk. It’s a reset.

    >>The Title That Says It All
    “It’s not just a title—it’s the truth.”

    Erika reveals how No One Cares About Your Career went from a casual comment to the book’s heartbeat—and why it resonates across industries, generations, and inboxes.

    >>When Creativity Gets Crushed
    “I went from running wild to daily reforecasts and regulatory meetings.”

    She opens up about the moment corporate structure smothered her spark—and how writing a book on the train became a lifeline back to creative energy.

    >>The Mid-Chapter Career Book
    “This isn’t for the lost or the legends. It’s for the people in the messy middle.”

    Erika explains who the book is for—and why it’s not another glossy manifesto or three-step self-help trick.

    >>The Five Things That Actually Matter at Work
    “Who you are. What you offer. How you show up. What you do with your time. And how much you care.”

    Forget the buzzwords. Erika distills 25 years of media, tech, and executive leadership into five brutally simple career rules.

    >>Mentoring at Scale
    “I get 200 questions a week—and I try to answer every one.”

    She shares how social media became her advice desk, what Gen Z is most worried about, and why transparency—not perfection—is the new leadership currency.
