Demography, Trends, and The Future w/ Ken Gronbach #35

In this episode, I have an engaging and enlightening discussion with Ken Gronbach, a renowned demographer. Ken shares his journey from running a successful advertising agency to becoming a researcher of demographic trends. He delves into the impact of changing population dynamics, discussing the effects of fewer Generation X-ers and the rise in millennials and Gen Z. Ken offers insights into how these demographic shifts impact various sectors, such as the retail industry, the housing market, and healthcare. He also brings attention to the issue of marginalized groups in the labor force and the need for reform. The conversation ends with a discussion on the future of America as more manufacturing jobs return, technology advances, and younger generations lead policy and societal changes. Ken is president of KGC Direct, LLC and is an internationally respected demographer who has been able to forecast societal, commercial, economic, cultural, and political phenomena with uncanny accuracy. Ken’s unusual blend of marketing savvy and common-sense demography, based on over twenty-five years of proprietary demographic study, sets him apart. Ken keynotes all over the United States and the world. His company does high value customized demographic research. You will find that Ken’s steadfast position, that the United States is the best nation on earth and his firm belief that the country’s best days are ahead, season his spirited presentations with an unmistakable pro-American enthusiasm. | Connect with Ken | Website: www.KGCDirect.com Email: [email protected] Facebook: @KGCDirect Twitter (X): @KenGronbach | Connect with Joe | Sign up for coaching and classes here:  https://beacons.ai/garnation Join my community to gain access to ascension-related articles, channeled information, monthly Q&A sessions, and more at https://joegarner.substack.com/ https://www.instagram.com/garnation/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzzxXIK5MP1pceiX-9QjxGA 00:45 Introduction and Guest Introduction 01:09 Ken Grombach's Journey into Demography 02:10 Understanding Generation X and Its Impact 07:24 The Shift in Manufacturing and Its Implications 07:28 Demographic Trends in the U.S. and Their Impact 09:46 Global Demographic Trends and Their Consequences 13:41 The Future of Manufacturing and Onshoring 21:49 The Housing Market and Its Impact on Millennials and Gen Z 25:04 The Future of Work and Economic Prosperity for Younger Generations 26:32 The Wealth Shift from Baby Boomers to Gen X 28:05 The Future of Globalization and National Borders 29:24 The Impact of Generational Shifts on Politics 30:55 The Role of Manufacturing in the Future Economy 35:15 The Future of Healthcare and Longevity 38:01 The Shift Towards Holistic Approaches in Medicine 42:14 The Future of Energy and Technology 46:21 The Impact of Felony Records on Employment 49:49 The Shift in Gender Balance in Education and Leadership 56:05 The Spiritual Journey of the Younger Generation
