Are Gen X-ers Really Over & Out Or Are We Just Getting Started? Interview With Journalist Stephen Armstrong

The Midlife Mentors

In this episode, we’re joined by the insightful journalist and author, Stephen Armstrong, for a candid conversation about Generation X - those of us sandwiched between the Baby Boomers and Millennials.

Having seen Stephen’s article 50 And Out in The Independent, where he talked about the future of Gen X, we just knew we had to get him onto our podcast to dig deeper.

Stephen reveals the unique struggles Gen X men face as they hit midlife, from career crossroads to dealing with the weight of unspoken expectations. We reminisce about the freedom and world of possibility that followed the end of the cold war, backpacking, music and of course, we can't talk about Gen X without touching on the island that defined a generation and inspired one of Stephen’s books - Ibiza.

Tune in for an eye-opening, fun chat about where we are now, and what it means to be a Gen X-er in 2025.
