This podcast, Bridging the Gap Between Generations Who Assume Things About Each Other is all about...well...you know. But this episode is special; we talk about some serious biz with our guest Tim who's been called a 'Lazy Millenial'. People have expectations of him and he has expectations of himself. He has self doubt and questions. Turns out Stephanie and Karen had all the same thoughts/feelings/woes as Gen X-ers, as did their boomer parents. This is a conversation that reminds us that the gaps might not be as big as we all think.Tim is a professional photographerHere's his website:https://timnguyen.co/Tim on TwitterTim on FacebookTim on InstagramBridging the Gap Between Generations Who Assume Things About Each Other is a brand new member of the Alberta Podcast Network, Locally grown, community supportedThis episode is sponsored by The Alberta Association of Optometrists and The Well Endowed Podcast from Edmonton Community FoundationPodcast Art: Morgan ErmterTheme song: S.

Stephanie and Karen are trying to bridge the gap between generations who assume things about each other. Hence the title.  They've learned there are not as many gaps as everyone thinks, and the bridges kind of build themselves.Take Lexine for example.  All she had to say was 'mango flavored cotton candy' and Karen and Steph could see that glorious bridge right there. Hear all about roll-y-poll-y bugs, and how she's learned to hack into her dad's tablet. Chinchillas! Subway! And a day out in a boat.Things to help this episode make sense?The Love BoatMork and MindyThe Potato BugPodcast Art: Morgan ErmterTheme song: S. Blatt and S.
