Our Story

Melissa

Jake

The Team

Together, we’re the intersection of intuition and infrastructure. Melissa brings the emotional intelligence, lived experience, and truth-telling that keeps everything human. Jake brings the systems, strategy, and execution that turn ideas into something real. One of us asks “How does this feel?”, the other asks “How does this scale?” The result is GenwhY: grounded, empathetic, useful, and unapologetically built for real life.

  • Balance Builders

  • Truth + Tools

  • Humanity First

  • Built Together

The Experience

In Every Episode

Comedy

First & foremost, laughter is the glue that holds us together most days. Whether you’re struggling through tween parenting decisions or handling the stress of paying your family’s bills on a single income in 2025, jokes are critical. We’ll laugh with you, at you, and at ourselves! 😉

  • Laughter First

  • Humor As Glue

  • Jokes > Judgment

  • Joyful Defiance

  • We Cope Loudly

Economic & Tech Updates

The economy and tech move fast and the headlines are usually written by people who don’t have kids, layoffs, or student loans in the mix. We cut through the hype, decode what actually matters, and translate it into plain English for real lives. No fear-mongering. No “next big thing” obsession. Just context, clarity, and updates that help you make smarter decisions without doomscrolling.

  • No Jargon

  • Real Impacts

  • Human-First

  • Signal > Noise

  • Stay Sharp

The Good Ol’ Days

Before notifications ran our nervous systems and every hobby had to be monetized, life felt…different. We revisit the music, games, internet corners, and cultural moments that shaped us. Not to escape the present, but to remember who we were before everything sped up. A little nostalgia, a lot of perspective, and permission to miss the simpler stuff without pretending it was perfect.
