Love this. I'm in my fifties, and almost ended up in a fist fight with some bloke in GA who addressed me as "young lady". Ageism intensifies sexism. I'm done with this crap. And I agree wholeheartedly that Oldies (let's own that! It's the title of a magazine for UK seniors) need intergenerational experiences. I've always worked with people and audiences of all ages, and can't imagine living any other way.

Thanks, Annette. My own preferred term of art is Geezers, but to each his own.

Excellent program! Jeanette Leardi's enthusiasm and passion for her topic really animates the information she provides. If you're not more inspired about your own aging after this, listen to it again.

Dude, you are onto something. Jeanette Leardi is a gem! I've never listened to a Podcast in my life but this was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Would luv to hear more wisdom from others in her business . . . such as Arthur Brooks, for example.

So glad you like it! She has been promoting the heck out of it too. Half a dozen new subscriptions in two days.
