How Reality Bites captures the feeling of uncertainty in every era

Friday Musings – Reality Bites again… This morning’s lackluster jobs report had me thinking, of all things, the movie Reality Bites. An iconic film that captures the feeling of a tumultuous moment in time. For many of us, it was a snapshot of our generation stepping into adulthood during a recession - full of questions, lots of uncertainty, and figuring it out as we went along. The truth is, that feeling isn’t bound to any one generation. Every era has its version of uncertainty starring negative economic shifts, seismic industry changes, and new challenges that force us to rethink what we do. The bright side is that history shows us that some of the most transformative ideas, businesses, and cultural movements are born in uncertain times. Adversity has a way of sparking ingenuity. And as I write this, the feeling of today seems to be the perfect breeding ground for reinvention. If Reality Bites taught us anything, it’s that we’re capable of finding our way. The future may be unclear, but we’ve been here before. And we know how to turn challenges into something special. #Resilience #Adaptability
