Gen X Resistance isn’t losing its edge—it’s finding its purpose.

In this holiday edition, Paul Stevens reflects on how the show has evolved from sarcastic commentary into something deeper: a space where Gen X shares hard-earned experience, explains the systems we lived through, and walks alongside the next generation instead of yelling at it.

Yes, the sarcasm is still here (it’s a love language).
But the mission is clearer: mentorship, perspective, and passing along wisdom that actually helps.

With Christmas just days away, this episode is also a reminder to slow down, reconnect, share stories, and spread a little Gen X–style joy.

Same sarcasm.
Better purpose.
