That is unheard of to have that level of access that's at your fingertips 24-7 and to have multiple perspectives and people who are seen as authorities or influencers. That's a different world, and that's going to bring a different level of stress. Another key thing to the stress of today that I think we should talk more about is the economic situation.

So there's a lot of uncertainty for folks who've been around for a long time. We have folks who used to work in jobs. You know, they'll get that good job out of school or they'll start their career early. They'll stay in that job forever. Nowadays, you're lucky if you have an employee stay in the job for two years. It's a different world.

And these young people, they're not concerned about their economic future. They're in the gig economy. They're just going to figure it out as they go.

that's a whole different level of stress where you hop from one job to the other, where we had two generations before that were a lot more secure in making sure they get a pension, making sure that they have insurance after they retire, things of that nature. That's a different world. So we're going to see different responses to stress.

And I also think that we're starting to see a clash of the generations as far as what's the best way to move forward. Um, you know, there's a lot of differences in how we see the world based on our generations.

Great question. I would say that it's a shift. 100 years ago, we were going into the Great Depression. Today, we are not in a Great Depression. I don't think the level of stress that folks had 100 years ago, it's nowhere near where we are today. You do not have to hunt for your own food. You don't have to worry about someone coming and confiscating your land.

You don't have to worry about, if you were a woman and you were at the age of 18 and you weren't married yet, you would be ousted from your family 100 years ago. Today's world, we have things that we stress about, but we have no context for history and how stressful those times were. I think that in today's world, and this is me, this is one of my old man, get off my lawn things.

I'm getting older. So this is where I'm coming from. I think we make things more stressful than we need to be. We put our nose in business and we worry about things that are a little bit out of our control sometimes, which makes us overwhelming. And we've created this world where we have a lot of panic and fear over things that might not necessarily concern your individual life.

And that's one of the things that I think has come with this. It really started in the 90s where we created the 24-hour news cycle. There was a lot of panic that started around that time. And then it just manifested with social media where we are today. Literally, you can log on your phone right now, find some tragedy that's thousands of miles away from you, and then you have anxiety about it.
