The Boomer Paradox | Jeff Giesea

This week I’m joined by Jeff Giesea, a serial entrepreneur and founder of the policy lab the Boyd Institute, to talk about the key challenging facing America’s future.

They dive deep into the structural challenges facing the country, particularly the Boomer Paradox (how older generations are both holding society together and holding it back), the rise of gerontocracy and its impact on young Americans, the transformative power of AI as democracy's best hope, America's declining state capacity and overregulation, and the urgent need to shift from performative culture-war politics to real problem-solving.

You can read Giesea’s three part series on the Boomers and generational transition right here on Substack:

You can also read my own thoughts on the transition to a post-Boomer America.
