🎙️ Gen X Worked… Their Kids Nap – Featuring Carlos: The Soldier, Bar Owner & Dad of the Year

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the classic Gen X frustration: “Why don’t our grown kids want to work?!” And to help us unpack that, we brought on a special guest—my longtime friend Carlos—whose life story is anything but lazy.

We uncovered a wild ride:

His time in the military, including deployments to Iraq

How he somehow got in trouble during training... for having too much fun

🥂 The highs and lows of owning a bar

💍 Being married twice and raising both an adult child and a toddler

🕷️ Oh—and how his daughter is obsessed with bugs (seriously, she loves spiders, worms, and lizards 😳)

We talked about parenting differences, why Gen X is exhausted, and whether this new generation just grew up with too many “soft landings.” It's raw, real, and ridiculously funny.

If you’re a Gen Xer asking, “Did we raise a lazy generation?” — you’ll want to hear this.
