The post-war baby boom generation, often referred to as ‘Baby Boomers’, have had a profound impact on the world. Their needs, choices, and lifestyles have shaped economies and societies globally. As this generation ages, their role in society continues to evolve, notably shifting from active workforce participants to retirees with valuable experience and time to contribute in new ways.
Baby Boomers have been a powerful economic force contributing throughout their lives. They are known for their strong work ethic, which translated into substantial career achievements and, consequently, significant spending power. Even as they retire, Boomers continue to impact the Economy through consumer spending, investments, and by supporting a vast range of industries, from healthcare to Real Estate.
Many Baby Boomers are using Retirement as a phase of life where they can give back to society more directly through social contributions. Volunteering rates are high among boomers, with many choosing to engage in community service, mentoring roles, and non-profit organizations. Their wealth of knowledge and experience makes them invaluable in these settings. Baby Boomers have also shaped our cultural landscapes through contributions of music, art and literature. The Legacy of the Baby Boomer Generation will be one of active participation and continuous contribution, setting a vibrant example for generations to follow.

What if the diet you started to feel better about your body is the same thing that's quietly damaging your relationship with it?
This week, Eli interviews Dr. Brad Smith, a board-certified psychiatrist and Chief Medical Officer at Accanto Health, the parent organization of the Emily Program, for an open and clinically informed conversation on eating disorders, diet culture, and the hidden dangers of wellness trends. With over 14 years of experience in eating disorder treatment, Dr. Smith has witnessed how a simple desire to "be healthier" can subtly evolve into something harmful.

You've heard people say, "Good things come to those who wait." Most of us absorbed that lesson somewhere along the way — save the good stuff, delay the pleasure, wait until you've earned it. But my guest today says that idea backfires.

You've heard people say, "Good things come to those who wait." Most of us absorbed that lesson somewhere along the way — save the good stuff, delay the pleasure, wait until you've earned it. But my guest today says that idea backfires.
My guest is Ian Bogost, a contributing writer at The Atlantic and a professor at Washington University in St. Louis. His new book is The Small Stuff.
Some of the things we discuss are:
The three different types of contentment — and why we tend to overlook the most available one

Dog food and canine nutrition can feel like a minefield when your vet tells you one thing, but your dog's body is telling you something completely different. If you've ever stood in the pet food aisle overwhelmed, or watched your dog struggle with skin issues, digestive problems, or low energy despite "doing everything right," this conversation will give you clarity, confidence, and a path forward that makes sense.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Why kibble alone might be contributing to your dog's skin issues, digestive upset, and low energy, even if it's the expensive "vet-approved" brand

Hollywood's in free fall, and David Poland's got the play-by-play. Phil and Ted sit down with the veteran film critic for a candid, funny, occasionally brutal look at how the old studio model is collapsing under the weight of streaming, YouTube, and a creator economy nobody saw coming this fast. Festivals dying. Theaters emptying. Studios panicking. It's all here, and it's a lot more entertaining than it has any right to be.Along the way: the industry's long, weird history of cycling between doom and reinvention (spoiler: this isn't Hollywood's first near-death experience), the never-ending fi…

For decades, standard capital markets assumptions have relied on a predictable, cyclical conveyor belt of capital: workers save, institutions invest, markets rise. But we might be staring down a massive, structural wrench in the gears. Between the Great Retirement of the Boomer generation and the cultural explosion of Coast FIRE—where millions of younger investors stop contributing to retirement entirely to coast on part-time work—we are looking at an unprecedented slowdown in fresh capital flows. Join us as we play out a "slightly out there" macroeconomic thought experiment: is the collec…
