Gen X joined a company and they were there for three to 10 years. Gen Y joined and they were there for one to seven years. Now they're looking to join for six months to a year and a half. When my oldest son was 16, which was seven years ago, got his first job at a grocery store, Six months later, I said, hey, you should start getting ready to quit and looking for another job. He's like, why?
I just got here. I'm like, no, it's time for you to hop. You're going to gain more experience by moving around. You're going to get paid more by moving around. So I was coaching him to quit six months after he got hired.
Right. Whereas, but someone who is my age, it was more about get in the company and then get promoted to the next job in the company, get promoted to the next job. That's not the mindset of this, this new cohort.
That was, that was a very kind of formational turning point for my son. Who's 21. The one who's running his own business, just ran his own, a sub four hour marathon for four months ago. I took him at 16 years old to an annual genius network event. One of Joe Polish's events and,
And Connor being in the room with these 350 entrepreneurs who are all adults for four days, that fundamentally changed him. And I think he just saw something different in himself and he got inspired. And I think more people, adults as well, need to remember that they need to get themselves into these other rooms, right?
You pay to pay to be around these other people or volunteer to be at these other groups. And you don't have to go to the super expensive ones to start. Just go to any of them, right? Go surround yourself with these other smart people and yeah, get off your device, go connect with other humans.
Wow. I think there's a couple of groups there. I mean, I'm not, my wife and I sold everything three and a half years ago to travel around the world. We've been nomads. We've been in 56 countries together. You know, we we've literally been seeking, you know, seeking, I'm in Sydney, Australia right now. I was in Dubai last week. So we're, we're probably outside of the normal comfort zone.
Well, and I'm definitely a financial outlier now too, because I'm actually based legally in a tax free zone, right? My company is now based in Dubai. I'm a resident of Dubai and I don't pay tax on worldwide income as a Canadian. So I'm definitely a financial outlier there. And that's all legal. That's legal above board. Yeah. No capital gains tax, no dividend tax, no personal income tax.
It's pretty sweet. Are we, I don't know. That's a really interesting question. I think we're probably the first generation in four generations that is starting to pick up and move. You grew up where your parents were raised and your grandparents were raised, but your great-great-grandparents moved from somewhere. Mine came from Ireland and from Scotland.
Where did your family come in from to North America?
Okay. So they came from Budapest. Yeah. So they came from Budapest, but then you moved, but your parents, your parents were raised in Detroit and stayed in Detroit, right?
Okay.
Okay. Well, you're kind of more of the unusual. Our age group is the first group, and then Gen Y now are starting to move everywhere, and Gen Z. But for the most part, three generations were really growing where they were planted. Most Americans...
And most Americans' parents and most Americans' grandparents have always lived in the same state that their great, great grandparents moved from Europe or Asia or wherever to. I think now with the advent of the internet, with Wi-Fi, with laptops, and then with COVID, People are literally just saying, I don't want to live here anymore.
I want to move to Lake Tahoe or I want to move to Napa or I want to move to Florida. I want to move to Dubai or I want to move to Portugal or Bali or, you know, Austin, Texas. People are definitely unplugging and moving, which isn't the normal kind of comfort grow where you're planted. And I think it's really exciting for the youth these days to decide where they want to be.
And be more intentional.
Amazing.
I have a friend of mine, Adam and Jessica Daly from San Diego took their three kids under eight years old and did 12 months around the world. And each of them had a carry on suitcase.
And your kids will learn. Students will learn more from traveling the world and living globally than they ever will from being in a university or high school education.
No, it's impossible. Let's even put that part aside because certainly you're going to learn from that. You're going to learn empathy. You're going to learn creativity. You're going to learn about history and geography and art and entertainment and food and fashion. You're going to connect with different mindsets, just even the news. I remember I was on a boat up in Portugal this summer.
