The FourBlock Podcast


Feb 17, 2020

Are today's service members narcissistic snowflakes or the next greatest generation? In this week's episode, FourBlock Founder Mike Abrams, NYT bestselling author Lindsey Pollak, and entrepreneur Rick Miners discuss a new study published in the journal Psychology and Aging that suggests baby boomers are actually more sensitive than millennials. The study, described as the largest on narcissism to date, focuses on both generational and individual trends in narcissistic behaviors. 

ABOUT US

Welcome to the FourBlock Podcast, a show that examines veteran career transition and the military-civilian divide in the workplace.

General Charles Krulak coined the term "Three Block War" to describe the nature of 21st-century military service defined by peace-keeping, humanitarian aid, and full combat.

But what happens next? Veterans are often unprepared to return home and begin new careers. We call this the Fourth Block. 

FourBlock is a national non-profit that has supported thousands of transitioning service members across the nation in beginning new and meaningful careers. 

Mike Abrams (@fourblock) is an Afghanistan veteran, FourBlock founder, director of the Columbia University Center for Veteran Transition and Integration, and author of two military transition books. He’ll be representing the military transition perspective.

Lindsey Pollak (@lindsaypollak) is a career and workplace expert and New York Times bestselling author of three career advice books. Lindsey will be representing the civilian perspective of this issue.
