So, I was talking with an old insurance buddy of mine. Early sixties, Bay Area, socially liberal, fiscally conservative. Smart Independent thinking guy.
Conversation was all over the board, insurance, the difference between our age clients and or kids age clients, retirement?, money, kids and so on.
He mentioned "The forth turning". I looked it up and watched a short interview of Neil Howe. Which of course YouTube took and populated my feed with more. Interesting.
Reminded me of this >
“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”
This girl's short description of the 1964-1984 period struck home. My mid Boomer generation's growing years. 1964 I was 10 yrs old watching Vietnam ramping up, seeing my friend's brothers coming home under our flag, then John, Bobby and Martin, Anti War and Civil Rights Protest, my service, having kids, starting businesses, moving from blue collar construction and a major Ag region to Insurance and Liberal SF BayArea.
I have two main aquintance groups. 35-45 and 65-75. I relate to the latter, but learn more from the former.
Those group ages are also the majority of my clients. The 35-45 are also the majority of my referrers.
