What does it mean to be a millennial right now - at this exact moment of institutional collapse, climate crisis, and collective upheaval? In this conversation, I sit down with my dear friend and neighbor Sarah Davidson for a wide-ranging talk about generational identity, community resilience, and why millennials might be more prepared for this moment than we think. Drawing on generational theory, Sarah reframes the millennial story: rather than a generation defined by what was taken from us, we are the "hero generation" - the same archetypal cohort as the Greatest Generation - born into crisis and uniquely suited to build what comes next. We explore what that actually looks like on the ground: local currencies, bioregional financing, community-led economies, and the radical act of turning toward each other rather than away. This is a conversation about collapse - and how to meet it with clarity, creativity, and even joy.Resources + LinksBooks mentioned: Generation We: How Millennial Youth Are Taking Over America and Changing Our World Forever by Eric Greenberg with Karl WeberMillennial Momentum: How a New Generation is Remaking America by Morley Winograd and Michael D.
