What if you actually became the thing you dreamed of as a kid—and still found yourself wondering what comes next?
In this episode of Gen X Crisis, Robert sits down with his oldest friend, former TV anchor Ed Greenberger, for a thoughtful, funny, and nostalgic conversation about ambition, aging, and reinvention.
Robert and Ed talk about childhood dreams of sportscasting, a 25-year broadcasting career, and why walking away can sometimes be the beginning of something new. Ed reflects on working in TV news, mentoring young journalists, parenting teenage daughters, and going back to school at 55 to teach the next generation.
It’s a wide-ranging look at changing priorities, the shifting meaning of success, and the strange awareness that sets in when the news isn’t what it used to be—and neither are you.
