The Leading Gen!
Welcome to The Leading Gen®!
"THE LEADING GEN® - What will you do with the rest of your life?" is a television series in its second season for and about baby boomers ages 40 through 100+ who defy traditional stereotypes about retirement, candidly share their challenges and solutions, and choose to thrive. We’ve renamed these trailblazers The Leading Gen!®.

Series II -- which has only been on television for eight months -- has surpassed Series I in stations carrying the series. Series II is now being shown on 163 public television stations across the USA, parts of Canada and the Virgin Islands, in most of the major markets. More stations have promised to carry the series, so we expect to reach 200 stations at a minimum in 2011. Some stations are also repeating Season I and showing both series. Both series have been or are being shown on 217 stations, representing 80% of the public television stations in the country. The programs from both series have been repeated over 8100 times! Our estimates for the people who have watched all or parts of Season I & II is conservatively estimated at 7 million, and is probably much higher.
