About this episode

Kim and Grandma Gail discuss how to become an interesting person and the impact of generational differences on self-identity.

How do you actually become an interesting person, and do you need a “personal brand” to know who you are? Kim and Grandma Gail compare how their generations developed a sense of self, from social media and endless choices to strong opinions, lifelong interests, and knowing when not to care what other people think. They talk confidence, hobbies, dinner party etiquette, finding clues in your childhood, and why Grandma Gail thinks having nothing to bring to the conversation makes you a boring guest. Plus, the very important debate over whether open-toed shoes belong on the streets of New York City.
