Episode 48: Sheyne Lieber – “OK Boomer”

Bozeman native Sheyne Lieber has seen the impact of the unfettered growth for which baby boomers are synonymous on the identity of his hometown and he’s not sold on the resulting “prosperity.” The gross inflation of property values, flux of disposable wealth and added burden on local natural resources are just a couple of the undesirables he’s seen since Bozeman’s “boring atmosphere” became the third fastest growing in the country. The 20yo definitely feels the nature of his generation z’s “general decline in giving-a-shitness.” But, as he asserts, “at a certain point you have to rebound.”

In this podcast, Interchange Founder Tate Chamberlin and guest Sheyne Lieber attempt to reconcile the assumptions and concerns – absolutes and possibilities – surrounding baby boomers’ social, political and economic legacy and its impact on generations to come.
