Father&rsquo;s Day is coming up.&nbsp; How has the role of &lsquo;father&rsquo; changed over the years? Today Kaylyn and Ramsey add a third generation to the mix &hellip; Ramsey&rsquo;s dad, Joel Zimmerman.&nbsp; Historically, fathers have had the role of family authority and provider.&nbsp; Are fathers still considered an authority? Or parents, more broadly speaking? Who else are authorities these days, and do we still regard them as &ldquo;father figures&rdquo;?&nbsp; Do we trust the authorities? And if not, why don&rsquo;t we, and what would it take to get back to a place where trust is earned and given?&nbsp; Join Ramsey and Kaylyn and Joel as they talk about the olden days growing up in Chicago and the current days and many days in between.

Online and IRL Community-Based Solutions

So what’s gonna fix the 21st Century?  According to a proud Millennial and a wizened Gen-Xer that’s a pretty complicated answer. Kaylyn and Ramsey are the Directors of Lending Partnerships for ezSolarLoan, a leading source of financing for residential solar energy, and funded by BankHere, a not-for-profit credit union personal banking platform.  They talk both dollars and sense when it comes to addressing sustainability issues of our day.  Kaylyn believes her generation has gotten a bad rap, and the clean-up from decades of excess have fallen to them.  Ramsey believes that consolidation into basically Big Everything is a Big Problem, and that it's practically impossible to get the truth about what’s really going on, let alone get people to agree on things.  They both believe that community-based solutions like installing solar and batteries on homes is how people can become producers and not just consumers.  “21st Century Solutions … According to Kaylyn and Ramsey” is more than just a plug for solar lending or credit unions.  It’s a glimpse into Kaylyn’s and Ramsey’s motivations and perspectives, and an invitation to help save the world.
