Hire Cam

Cam In Real Life

Cam founded Generational Insights in Charlotte, North Carolina when he was facilitating focus groups and conducting exit surveys for his local clients. He noticed a new trend in the reasons people were accepting jobs and quitting jobs. This was the beginning of Gen X entering the workplace and they were quickly making their generational preferences known and the Boomers struggled with them. He presented his findings to a local HR audience and the business was begun.

For several years Cam took jobs training other people’s customer service materials and traveled delivering presentations skills training for the Excellence in Speaking Institute before his business grew large enough to support him full time.

Today Cam travels quite a bit, logging over three million total airline miles. He’s slept in several airports and has written over 225 hotel reviews in 100 different cities for TripAdvisor.com (his handle is CharlesAMIV). His favorite airport is the D Concourse at DFW and his favorite business destinations are Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco. Cam’s 98-year-old grandmother, Myrtice, was an avid traveler back in her day. From each stop in Cam’s travels, prior to her death, he would send her a postcard. She saved every one and today there are over 500 in total – a collection of all the places he’s been. Today they sit in a shoebox in his office. From time to time he pulls one out and reads it – his own personal travelogue.

Cam, his wife Lisa, and their four children live in Mobile, Alabama, Cam’s hometown, where he is a 5th generation Mobilian. His wife, a former collegiate volleyball player and coach, now coaches volleyball at Cam’s former school where his younger children are now students. They enjoy the outdoors when there is time, fishing in the Gulf of Mexico during the summer months and playing in the south-central Alabama woods in the winter.

His Spotify playlist, Cam Marston’s Funky R&B Enlightenment, will take you to the best music ever recorded on planet earth, IHHO. Listen only if you’re prepared for your life to be irreversibly changed.
