    I remember listening to the first podcast you guys did on Generational Theory back in 2015 I think, I really appreciated being introduced to this model and theory. I’ve read their books The Fourth Turning and Millennials Rising since, which, were interesting and did predict quite a few things.

    Another interesting, albeit dense read is “A Study of History” by Arnold Toynbee; he looked at the rise and fall of 19 world civilizations and found that they did so in predictable cycles.

    Thanks again!
