 We’re not the lost generation. We’re the underestimated one.

While the internet obsesses over Gen Z and glorifies Boomer dominance, Gen X remains the generation history keeps skipping. This show changes that.

Hosted by Vince Chan—Global Top 1.5% podcast producer and host of the U.S. #1 careers podcast Chief Change Officer—Gen X Legends features real Gen Xers: coaches, creators, founders, executives, and reinvention artists who’ve outgrown the old playbook and designed careers worth living.

Forget the hype, the hustle-posting, and the midlife glow-up myth. This is the generation that weathered dot-com crashes, financial crises, and digital disruption without performative reinvention—and came out smarter, sharper, and still in motion.

We don’t chase virality. We design for longevity.

If you’re tired of the noise and hungry for honest, grounded, human wisdom…You’re in the right generation. And now, you’re on the right show.@ 2025 Gen X Legends 出世 就職活動 社会科学 経済学

    #36 Dominic Carter: Future-Proofing Life After 50
    2025/06/09
    Dominic Carter, CEO of the Carter Group, shares how a personal frustration with his aging parents’ care became a long-term mission: building real, user-driven aging tech in one of the world’s oldest—and most demanding—markets.

    From human-centric research to venture studio development, Dominic shows how Gen Xers can lead the future of aging by solving the problems we’re all going to face. This isn’t just eldercare innovation—it’s preemptive, practical system design.

    For those over 50 building what comes next, this episode is a field guide to action rooted in empathy, not hype.

    >>From Personal Wake-Up Call to Business Blueprint
    “I wanted better options for my parents—and for myself one day.”

    Dominic shares how watching his parents’ struggle with aging became the catalyst for a venture into real, human-first aging innovation.

    >>Aging Tech Isn’t Just for the Elderly
    “Aging begins at 50—and the opportunity starts there.”

    He reframes aged tech not as a niche, but as a massive, underserved market hiding in plain sight.

    >>Start with the User—or Don’t Start at All
    “If you don’t listen, you’ll waste time, money, and trust.”

    Dominic explains why most aging tech fails: founders fall in love with ideas, not problems—and skip the hard part: listening.

    >>Culture Is More Than Geography
    “The cultural gap between 55 and 75 is as wide as the one between Japan and the West.”

    He unpacks why aging solutions must be co-designed with users—and adapted not just to national cultures, but age-based subcultures.

    >>Building Credibility One Win at a Time
    “Get the use case. Prove the value. Then scale.”

    Dominic outlines his venture studio strategy—prioritizing two user-validated products (a friction-reducing linen set and a wearable tremor device) to establish proof before expansion.

  • #35 Dominic Carter: Burnout at 24, Building for 2040

    #35 Dominic Carter: Burnout at 24, Building for 2040
    2025/06/08
    Dominic Carter, the CEO of the Carter Group, didn’t become an aging tech founder by chasing trends—he got there by building slowly, listening deeply, and surviving the kind of early burnout that forces reinvention.

    In Part 1, he shares how moving to Japan, launching businesses, and failing hard shaped the systems-thinking approach that now powers his work on aging innovation. This isn’t a startup story—it’s a Gen X blueprint: steady, lived, built from purpose long before it had a name.

    >>Leaving, Burning Out, Coming Back
    “I opened a Tokyo office at 24—and broke myself in the process.”

    Dominic talks about how early success nearly ruined him, and why walking away was the start of everything good that followed.

    >>A Life Rebuilt Through Listening
    “Research made me better—not just at business, but at understanding people.”

    He shares how market research and consulting sharpened his ability to listen deeply and solve real problems over time.

    >>No Pivot. Just Evolution.
    “Every business I built grew from the one before it.”

    Dominic explains how his work in research, media, and software wasn’t a series of pivots—it was a slow, deliberate build toward relevance.

    >>Staying in Japan by Choice
    “I could’ve gone home—but Japan became the place I wanted to change from.”

    He reflects on the emotional pull of Japan and how the country’s demographic trajectory mirrored something deeper he was starting to feel.

    >>When Profit Isn’t the Point
    “I’ve never been obsessed with money. I’ve been obsessed with meaning.”

    Dominic explains why mission-aligned work—not exits—has always been his driver, even if it meant a longer, less glamorous path.

  • #34 Gary Bremermann: Clarity Over Comfort—Career Change on Your Own Terms

    #34 Gary Bremermann: Clarity Over Comfort—Career Change on Your Own Terms
    2025/06/08
    In Part 2 of his conversation, Tokyo-based American Gary Bremermann moves beyond his own story to share the frameworks and realities that shape career reinvention today. From his Seven Steps to Career Clarity to his candid views on Japan’s ageist hiring market, Gary offers a Gen X blueprint for change: slow, thoughtful, grounded in values, and fiercely human.

    For anyone tired of chasing titles and ready to build a career worth living on their own terms, this episode delivers both the hard truths and the hope.

    >>Coaching the Opportunity Seekers
    “Mid-career professionals weren’t asking what they wanted—they were asking what was available.”

    Gary explains why so many talented people get trapped following default paths—and how coaching helps them reconnect with what they actually want.

    >>Your Story Is the Starting Point
    “Your past holds the clues to your future—you just have to read it differently.”

    He breaks down why career clarity begins with mining your real life for patterns, strengths, and missed signals.

    >>Values Before Vision
    “Forget the mission statement—start with your values.”

    Gary shares why starting with personal values, not corporate buzzwords, is the foundation for sustainable career growth.

    >>Practical Dreaming
    “One dream job without limits. One dream job grounded in reality.”

    He explains how a two-track dream job exercise helps people balance ambition with achievable moves.

    >>Japan’s Aging Workforce and Recruiting Reality
    “The labor pool is shrinking, but the hiring practices haven’t caught up.”

    Gary shares firsthand insights on ageism, cultural resistance to change, and why Japan remains one of the hardest recruiting markets in the world.
