    Ep 18: "Get Fit Or Die Trying"

    In this episode of the Gen-Xpertise podcast, we talk about health in "midlife".  We discuss the importance of being intentional and getting serious about health and wellness. Rance is our resident fitness expert. He breaks down subjects like sustainable habits, mental discipline and why focusing on health should be considered mandatory not optional. This isn't about chasing fads or extremes. It's about longevity, energy, and being strong enough for the life you want to live.  Intro and Outro music by Erin Garris and Khari Garris.  Instagram: @gen_xpertise ; tiktok: @the_genxpertise_podcast Bluesky: @genxpertisepodcast.bsky.social

    Ep 17: "Gen-X Does Cinema"

    From VHS rewinds to movie premiers in the theater...Gen-X didn't just watch movies, we were shaped by them. In this episode, we dive into some of the films every Gen-Xer should know. This episode isn't just about our favorite movies, but the values, lessons, and worldview these stories introduced to Gen-Xers and everyone else.  Intro and Outro music by Erin Garris and Khari Garris  Instagram: @gen_xpertise ; tiktok: @the_genxpertise_podcast Bluesky: @genxpertisepodcast.bsky.social

    Ep 16: "Am I My Brother's Keeper?"

    In this conversation, we dive into the quiet crisis many Gen-X men carry but rarely talk about. This is the difficulty of maintaining old friendships and challenges that come with forming new ones. We explore how careers, family responsibilities, emotional conditioning from our upbringing, and the pressure to "be strong" have shaped the way men connect (or don't). With honest reflections, real-life stories, and a few laughs along the way, this episode invites listeners to rethink what male friendship can look like at 40, 50, and beyond. It's a heartfelt look at brotherhood, vulnerability and the importance of being intentional about friendship.  Into and Outro music by Erin Garris and Khari Garris Instagram: @gen_xpertise ; tiktok: @the_genxpertise_podcast Bluesky: @genxpertisepodcast.bsky.social

    Ep 15: "Talkin' All That Jazz"

    Jazz is a uniquely American artform. It is a sound born from Black genius, shaped in struggle, and lifted by improvisation and freedom. It's the music that taught the world how to swing, how to break rules, and how to turn emotion into art. More than a genre, jazz is a mirror of America's story: bold, resilient, innovative, and always evolving. In this episode, Maine and Rance discuss the history of Jazz and its influence. Starting in New Orleans and borrowing from Ragtime and The Blues, jazz would go on to heavily influence other genres of contemporary music including R&B and Hip Hop.  Intro and Outro music by Erin Garris and Khari Garris Instagram: @gen_xpertise ; tiktok: @the_genxpertise_podcast Bluesky: @genxpertisepodcast.bsky.social

    Ep 14: "24 Hours To Live"

    What if you knew you only had 24 hours to live? What would you do first? Who would you want to talk to?  Where would you want to go? Maine and Rance answer these questions and a lot more. We discuss the mindset of a person who knows they have such a short amount of time left. We explore the implications to family and friends, as well as the importance of cherishing the time and being more intentional about relationships.   Intro and Outro music by Erin Garris and Khari Garris  Instagram: @gen_xpertise ; tiktok: @the_genxpertise_podcast Bluesky: @genxpertisepodcast.bsky.social

    Ep 13: "Total Recall"

    After Episode 5 "Ain't Nothing But A Gen-X Thang", we got quite a few requests to do a follow up to the nostalgic trip down memory lane.  So, in this episode, we do it again.  Join us as we reminisce about the evolution of the hip hop mixtape, vintage toys, 80s fashion and much more.   Intro and Outro music by Erin Garris and Khari Garris Instagram: @gen_xpertise ; tiktok: @the_genxpertise_podcast Bluesky: @genxpertisepodcast.bsky.social
