Ridge reflects on growing up in the mid-80s, part of a generation that was told computers were going to make life easier. They helped build and adopt the digital world we live in today. But with the rapid rise of AI, it now feels like things are moving faster than ever — and there’s a real question of where that leaves them. Is this the generation that helped create something that might eventually replace them? While Ridge contemplates his future, Shelby can't stop hating investing and investors. It’s a conversation about progress, uncertainty, and finding your place in a world that doesn’t slow down. If this episode makes you think about where you fit in all of it, share it with someone from your generation. Follow the show, leave a rating, and take a moment to appreciate how far things have come — even if it’s a little overwhelming.","meta_description":"In this episode of The Barn Philosopher, Shelby and Ridge talk about generations — and what it feels like to be caught in the middle of massive change.
