Podcasts about AARP

Dean talks about the issue about aging in place in your own home. An AARP survey says 75% of people want to stay in their own homes as they age. Dean discusses the things you can do to make your home ‘age friendly’ from walk in bathtubs to grab bars because they need to function decades longer than initially intended and these days you will likely recoup almost 100% of the cost of preparing your home for aging in place. As an aside, Dean also talks about the importance of solar power and backup systems in the event of power outages. Dean also takes listener calls about a occasional smell coming from a central air conditioning system, why a sliding glass door in a family room is leaking when it rains damaging the wood floor, what precautions someone should take when turning on the air conditioning, heating unit for the first time in several years, how to install ‘grab bars’ in an exiting tile shower, whether a walk in tub is a good idea to install or will it have to be reversed when we plan to sell and how to get European style doors and windows serviced when everyone is encouraging me to replace them completely.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stephanie Evergreen: Build a Data Culture Stephanie Evergreen is a data visualization and design expert. She has trained future data nerds worldwide through keynotes and workshops, for Fortune 500 clients like MasterCard and Facebook and mission-aligned clients like the United Nations, the Boys and Girls Club, AARP, and The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. She has three books and a popular blog on data visualization. Data: we've all got tons of access to it these days. But perhaps almost too much – how do we actually make sense of it and then communicate clearly with it? In this conversation, Stephanie and I explore how a leader can best use data to make their message land. Key Points Many of us are overwhelmed by access to data, but lots of leaders find that much of the data isn't actionable for increasing performance. Because dashboards attempt to answer many questions, they often result in doing a poor job of highlighting a key message or insight. Instead of showing every data point you've ever collected, use smart formatting to highlight the single thing your team needs to know. Decide in advance what the key message of a slide, chart, or presentation should be. Then, design for that clear message. Answer the burning question that your audience is likely asking. Leaders set the tone for transparency with data that isn't good news. Encourage and reward hearing the honest story to establish a culture where truth is shared and addressed.

What does a “perfect day” at Disney's Hollywood Studios look like when Scott gets to make all the rules?This week, we're continuing our Perfect Day series with a full day at Hollywood Studios! Scott has planned the day from morning to night, and his goal is ambitious: can he create a Hollywood Studios itinerary good enough to change Candice's less-than-enthusiastic opinion of the park?Before we get there, though, we tackle an important Disney debate: Halloween or Christmas? We talk about why Christmas at Walt Disney World feels extra magical, the questionable timing of Florida's Halloween season, and why fake snow on a warm Florida evening somehow works better than it has any right to.Then it's time to head to Hollywood Studios!We're staying at Disney's Beach Club Resort, sleeping in just a little, and taking the Skyliner over to the park. From there, Scott's perfect day includes:• Breakfast from Woody's Lunch Box• Slinky Dog Dash, Alien Swirling Saucers and Toy Story Mania• A big lunch at 50's Prime Time Café• Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular• Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway• Rock 'n' Roller Coaster featuring The Muppets• An afternoon beer break at BaseLine Tap House• Walt Disney Presents• Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage (with The Little Mermaid as a backup!)• Waiting until DARK to experience Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge• Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run — preferably in Chewie Mode• Nighttime wandering, shopping and photos in Galaxy's Edge and Toy Story Land• A casual dinner around Echo Lake• Fantasmic! to close out the night• A relaxing boat ride back to Beach ClubAlong the way, we debate whether Tower of Terror is still a must-do, why Scott doesn't need a $250 lightsaber living in a closet, whether Disney should offer a “build it but don't keep it” lightsaber experience, and just how much backtracking Candice will tolerate before abandoning Scott on a park bench.And somehow we end up imagining ourselves still recording this podcast in 2042, complaining about attractions Disney removed while riding around the parks on scooters. AARP, please don't cancel us.Would this perfect day change YOUR opinion of Hollywood Studios? What would you add, skip or rearrange?Come hang out with us!Follow Hangin' at the Hangar Bar on Instagram @hanginatthehangarbar and find us on Facebook. And if you enjoy the show, follow the podcast, leave us a review, and share the episode with another Disney adult!Remember, there's always a great big beautiful tomorrow — and we'll see you real soon!

Healthcare marketing has had a caregiver persona for fifteen years. She was worried, researching options, wanting a second opinion. That was a fair description of the job in 2010. Today most family caregivers help with bathing, dressing and mobility, and many now handle injections, wound care, catheters and oxygen equipment at home. Eleven percent were trained for any of it. Chris Boyer and Reed Smith open on new research projecting how much bigger this population gets by 2040, and on why the explanation everyone reaches for turns out to be wrong. The rest of the first half is about why none of this reaches anyone's numbers. One caregiver arrives in a health system as three unlinked records. The one tool built to let her in goes unmarketed and almost unused, and the workaround hospital staff recommend instead would get a marketer fired. Then Chris turns to why every fix built for her quietly stops working around week three. Jessica Hulter and Lamarque Polvado of CareStarter built software that asked a clinic checkout desk for sixty seconds. Staff used it for two weeks, then stopped, and nobody could make them start again. What they did in response put the human somewhere other than where healthcare usually puts her, and Jessica is that human.

At 89, Cynthia Goren is navigating a profound new chapter. Since the death of her husband last October after 67 years of marriage, she has become more aware of her own mortality—and more determined to live meaningfully. For Cynthia, that means continuing to learn, staying engaged in the things she loves, and, above all, helping others.“People need favors,” she says. “Physical help, someone to listen to their stories.” Listening and helping have been threads throughout Cynthia's life.A lifelong learner and teacher, Cynthia traces her love of learning to her parents. Teaching became a natural extension of her curiosity: she taught English in elementary school and literature at community college, delighting in explaining ideas and sharing what she was discovering. Even today, learning remains an essential part of who she is.Cynthia's Jewish faith and traditions have also shaped her sense of responsibility to others. Wanting to pass those traditions on to her children and grandchildren, she wrote Tales from a Jewish Grandmother: A Book of “Bubbe Meises,” using stories, food, Jewish education, family life, and humor to preserve a heritage she treasures.Now she is turning to another family story: the life of her father, who grew up in a shtetl before coming to the United States at age nine. Using handwritten notes he left behind, Cynthia is transforming his memories into historical fiction—preserving one generation's story for those who come after.Her compassion has extended beyond her family. Trained as a para-chaplain, Cynthia met weekly with older adults in a nursing home, using conversations about the Sabbath to create a space where people could talk openly about sadness, loss, and the realities of their lives.Cynthia's story reminds us that meaningful living doesn't require standing still when life changes. It can mean adapting, remaining curious, listening deeply, preserving the stories that matter—and continuing to ask, “How can I help?”“Helping others is the Jewish way of life.” - Cynthia GorenConnect with Cynthia:Book: Tales from a Jewish Grandmother: A Book of “Bubbe MeisesEmail: cyngoren@gmail.comThanks to our Platinum Sponsor, AARP Illinois, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age.

This special episode of Top Floor comes from a webinar hosted by the Hospitality Creator Summit. Scott Frisch, COO and EVP at AARP, was scheduled to join the Summit in person, but travel issues had other plans. Instead, HCS co-founders Anna Blue and Anthony Melchiorri brought the conversation online, with Susan emceeing a fireside chat about one of hospitality's biggest opportunities: the longevity economy. Scott has spent two decades at AARP with a front-row seat to the economic muscle of Americans 50 and older. With AARP's latest research putting their annual travel and leisure spending at a staggering $1.4 trillion, Anna, Anthony, and the HCS community dig into the billions, blind spots, and hot buttons that make a difference to this group of travelers. What You'll Learn - What $1.4 trillion in annual travel spending actually buys - When America crosses a demographic line it has never crossed before - Why hospitality keeps designing for 25-year-olds while the real money skews gray - How steamers and irons became a generational battleground - How a $12.5 trillion economy still cannot find the light switch - How loyalty programs quietly stopped mattering as much as everyone assumes - Why anticipation beats algorithms when it comes to actually knowing your guest Key Takeaway: The longevity economy already rivals the world's biggest economies, and hospitality brands willing to rethink design, service, and marketing for it stand to win over the fastest-growing group of travelers in America.

Visual storyteller and photojournalist, Ann Hermes, joins Michael Chovan-Dalton from the 2026 Chico Review to discuss her advocacy for visual storytelling and her photographic exploration of the loss of local newsrooms.https://www.annhermesphoto.comhttps://www.instagram.com/hermesphoto/I am a Brooklyn and Boston-based photojournalist and visual storyteller with a flair for the nostalgic. I create documentary tableaus that explore the roles that often overlooked, and sometimes outdated, institutions and people play in our history, culture and future. I've worked in a variety of logistically challenging situations on national and international assignments over my 15 years as a staff photographer for The Christian Science Monitor and other national and regional news outlets. This work ranged from breaking visual news coverage of the Arab Spring in Egypt to in-depth stories following Syrian refugees in Eastern Europe. My stories have also been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, The New Republic, and AARP.After years of experience in news photography, I am using my documentary expertise to create a visual exploration of the current critical era in journalism and explore the potential harm that the loss of local newsrooms would bring to our democracy.

For much of her life, writer Melinda Blau, 82, was curious about older women. Now she is discovering what it means to be one.Melinda began her career in educational publishing, where writers don't have to worry about word count. Later, working on her first magazine piece for New York, her editor, T. George Harris challenged her: “You skip through life. Why are you lumbering on paper?” It was one of many lessons in a lifelong writing career—and a reminder that there is always something new to learn. That same curiosity eventually drew Melinda to nine older women whose friendships profoundly influenced her life. They became the inspiration for “The Wisdom Whisperers.” Henrietta, legally blind and living to 99, into her 100s, became Melinda's model for courage. Zelda still played tennis at 99 and walked three miles a day into her 100s. Marge, who might have been New York's oldest Wall Street investor, was still managing her own portfolio at age 104. Melinda affectionately called them “my old ladies.” Each showed her something about resilience, independence, courage, and finding pleasure in the everyday. Their examples stayed with her as she faced her own losses, changes, and “nexts.” And then came the moment that stopped her: someone said to Melinda, “You are my old lady.” In this conversation, Melinda reflects on what these women taught her, what she is learning now that she is 82, and why aging well may have less to do with grand accomplishments than with drawing on what we already know, remaining curious, taking pride in the little things—and continuing to look for the good.“There are challenges in aging. Look at what is, use your skills, draw on past experiences for strength—and look for the good.” - Melinda BlauConnect w Melinda:Substack: Melinda BlauEmail: melinblau@aol.comBook: The Wisdom Whisperers-Golden Guides to a Long Life of Grit, Grace, and LaughterMeet Our Platinum Sponsor AARP Illinois, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age.

The New York Times reported that Jared Kushner met privately with Hakeem Jeffries — and the online left completely lost it. So Jeffries sat down in front of a Brooklyn housing project in a hat eight sizes too big and recorded a slow-motion selfie video to calm his own base, and it is the single most ridiculous thing you will see today. Larry O'Connor breaks down the pauses, the "Trump cartel" line, the Wolf Blitzer interview that followed on CNN, and the one thing Hakeem Jeffries never once said Democrats would actually DO for you.

Hillary Clinton accused Donald Trump of running "socialism for the rich" and enriching himself in office — so Larry O'Connor asks the question nobody in media ever puts to her. Bill Clinton was making $35,000 a year as governor of Arkansas and the couple left the White House in debt. So where did Hillary Clinton's fortune actually come from? Plus her claim that the Founders would be "appalled" and George Washington "heartsick" — from the party that tore their statues down.

While millions of Americans either rely on Social Security for their retirement, millions more hope it will be solvent and available for them when it's time for them to make the transition. No matter how old you are, there are resources out there, especially online, to help you navigate the system and make the most of your benefits as you plan for your future. The trouble is, new research shows many Americans don't know how to access them.

A new AARP poll of Michigan likely voters has the Senate race in a dead heat — Democrat Abdul El-Sayed at 48% and Republican Mike Rogers at 47%. Larry O'Connor sits down with AARP's John Hishta and pollster Bob Ward of Fabrizio Ward to break down the generational split driving it: Rogers up 9 points with voters 50-plus and 13 with seniors, El-Sayed up 14 with voters under 50. With voters over 50 projected to make up at least 59% of Michigan's midterm turnout — and a 15-point motivation gap in their favor — this race may come down to who actually shows up.

Social Security began 91 years ago when President Franklin Roosevelt signed it into law. Since then, it has provided a social safety net to Americans, allowing many of them to retire with dignity, according to John Hishta, senior vice president of campaigns with AARP. But many experts say that without some action, social security benefits will have to be reduced by 20% in 2032. News Director Eric Douglas sat down with Hishta to understand the situation. The post The Future Of Social Security Benefits, This West Virginia Morning appeared first on West Virginia Public Broadcasting.

As the daughter of Holocaust survivors, Paula, 77, understood early what it meant to live with absence. Her parents each lost their entire families eventually meeting after the war and emigrating to the United States with Paula.Paula read every book she could find about the Holocaust, asking herself: Why do people do this to one another? Her parents' understanding of history, trauma, and survival, as well as a distinct way of seeing the world, helped shape the direction of Paula's life.Growing up in a lower-income neighborhood, Paula saw injustice everywhere. She tried to talk with people about her parents' experiences, but their lack of engagement strengthened her determination to change the way people respond to inhumanity, illness, and suffering.Married in 1970 and a mother at 21, she and her husband supported each other as they completed their education while raising their son. Paula eventually earned a Master of Social Work degree and worked for 27 years teaching at a community college. Throughout her career, she has worked as a social worker, advocate, and community organizer. She advocated for housing for people with disabilities and her work at a community college allowed her to help people one-on-one—an approach grounded in her belief that empowerment is essential.Paula has been retired for six years and has not slowed down. She leads hospice and bereavement groups; works with formerly incarcerated people and individuals in prison, ia a Reiki practitioner, and after retiring became a massage therapist to serve underserved communities. And now an author! One day, while riding the train, Paula imagined a woman who seemed to embody everything she had experienced and witnessed. That woman became the central character in her novel, Among Us. With the support of writing groups, Paula developed the character's story and brought the book to life.When asked how she feels about aging, Paula says, “I feel like I am all ages.”"If I can understand the human condition, surely there is a solution." - Paula NesoffConnect with Paula:Email: pnesoff@gmail.comBook: Among UsAARP LogoThanks to our Platinum Sponsor, AARP Illinois, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age.

At 71, Terry Craig reflects on a life shaped by creativity, curiosity, movement, and reinvention.Growing up as the second of six siblings, Terry learned early how to resolve conflicts and bring people together. Her mother sewed clothing for the family, and Terry soon discovered her own love of sewing and creating patterns. Over the years, she expanded into quilting and fiber art, including painting with wool and learning wet felting. Always eager to try something new, Terry embraces projects that keep her engaged and inspired.After studying interior design at the Art Institute, Terry realized she wanted a career centered on people and moved into human resources, and later into sales, after relocating to Florida. Upon returning to Chicago, she again worked in HR. Wherever Terry lives, she brings her sewing machine and seeks out community. Local community centers offer groups and classes where she can play Scrabble and connect with fellow stitchers. Physical movement has always been important. Terry began cycling after high school and met her future husband through the sport. Together, they explore multi-day rides, and they are now preparing for a five-week, self-guided e-bike tour along the canals of Paris, ending with a week on the Riviera. Today, she and her husband split their time between Chicago and Scottsdale, AZ where she teaches sewing to a group of 167 people. The group also completes charitable projects, including Easter baskets, pillowcases, and activity totes for children.Terry stays active through hiking, pickleball, cycling, and walking—10,000 steps barely faze her. She believes age is a state of mind and encourages others to overcome fear by starting small and celebrating tiny successes. For Terry Craig, reinvention is a lifelong way of living.“Age is a state of mind and you can overcome fear by starting small and celebrating tiny successes.” - Terry CraigCONNECT WITH TERRY:Email: teresalcraig@gmail.comAARP LogoThanks to our Platinum Sponsor, AARP Illinois, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age.

Here's an uncomfortable truth: most people will tell a total stranger about their weird rash before they'll tell their best friend how much debt they're carrying. That contradiction sits at the center of this episode. The guest is Carrie Joy Grimes, founder and CEO of WorkMoney — a nonprofit she describes as "the AARP for everyday people's money." She built it in 2020 after years as a union organizer, watching thousands of people wrestle with the same financial confusion she'd faced growing up in a household where money was never discussed. The conversation opens with a poker metaphor that ends up doing a lot of work: you play the hand you're dealt, but you can also change the rules of the game. That's WorkMoney's whole thesis — help individuals make the best move with what they have, while using collective bargaining power to get everyone better cards. From there, the discussion turns commercial. A nonprofit still has to think like a business, and Grimes walks through WorkMoney's five distinct revenue models — sales of her book "The Joy of Money", ethical sponsorships, a bill-negotiation product called Money Finder, and a for-profit enterprise arm designed to fund financial products that don't quietly profit off member debt. The host presses on the hardest part: how do you measure success when your mission is "financial security" and revenue isn't the real scoreboard? Grimes lays out three separate metrics her team tracks, including one that's surprisingly emotional. There's also a sharp aside on index investing — including a detail about Warren Buffett's will that reframes the whole "beat the market" industry — and a candid discussion of why WorkMoney deliberately avoids a pure B2C growth strategy. If you've ever wondered how a mission-driven business justifies its business model without losing its mission, this one's worth the full listen. Three Key Takeaways • A nonprofit still needs a real business model. Grimes runs five distinct revenue lines at WorkMoney — including book sales, ethical sponsorships, and a fee-based bill-negotiation service — because donations alone can't fund a movement at scale. • B2B2C beats B2C for mission-driven growth. Rather than acquiring millions of individual customers one at a time, WorkMoney partners with organizations that have already aggregated the audience it wants to serve — dramatically lowering acquisition cost and risk. • Success metrics get complicated when revenue isn't the goal. WorkMoney measures impact through self-reported financial confidence, actual debt/wealth changes, and retirement trajectory — because, as Grimes puts it, if members don't feel more secure, the work isn't landing. If today's conversation had you thinking about what it actually takes to turn a big idea into a sustainable business, you'll want to check out The Thought Leadership Handbook, co-authored by Peter Winick, Bill Sherman, and Naren Aryal. It's the playbook for shaping, packaging, and scaling expertise in a crowded market — exactly the kind of business-model thinking Carrie Joy Grimes brought to this episode.

Mindful Birding with guest Holly Merker, founder of the Mindful Birding Network and co-author of Ornitherapy: For Your Mind, Body, and Soul Mindful Birding combines observing birds with mindfulness techniques, creating a practice that incorporates a heightened awareness. Labeling or identifying birds is not the primary focus; rather the intention is slowing down and noticing, using birds as our guides. It's about presence with curiosity and without judgment. This style of observation invites self-exploration, reciprocity, and an acknowledgment of our physical and emotional responses while within the practice. A growing body of scientific research shows that deepening our experiences with nature by intentionally slowing down, engaging our senses, and being aware of the present moment, holds a myriad of benefits to overall human wellness. The benefits include reduced anxiety and stress, increased memory and attention, and opportunities for social and community engagement. Additionally, the practice of birding brings educational benefits, citizen science opportunities and conservation engagement, experiences that are increasingly important because of climate change and habitat destruction. Holly is co-author of two books, including the award-winning Ornitherapy: For Your Mind, Body, and Soul. She is co-host and co-producer of the Mindful Birding Podcast, and founder of the Mindful Birding Network. Her work has been featured by British Vogue, AARP, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Psychotherapy Networker Magazine, and numerous other media outlets. A cancer survivor, Holly credits birds with helping restore her health and well-being and now helps others discover the healing potential of engagement with wild birds.

Recently, at 95, Ruby Hill spends time reflecting on her life. Two principles stand out: “I cared deeply about the needs of others, and the results were better than I could have imagined.” She also believes that much of her life was shaped by others, beginning with her father's decision that pharmacy should be her career. Ruby married the young man who sat behind her in Dr. Paytash's Chemistry 101 class, when classroom seats were assigned and attendance was taken by name. A year after earning her Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy and passing the State Board exam, they married. By the end of that decade, they were raising three thriving children. Decades later, inspired by the values of a small Unitarian Universalist congregation, Ruby responded to George Floyd's murder by helping launch a STEM initiative for Black girls that combines science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with self-care, leadership, and community care. "Beginning with love for ourselves and each other, we can keep learning, know that we all belong, and create hope for future generations." - Ruby HillConnect with RubyEmail: hoopbab@hotmail.comThanks to our Platinum Sponsor AARP Illinois, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age.

You're in for a real treat! It's the "Ask the Experts" bonus episode. We feature two (un)retirement experts who know a lot about what's really important. What you are actually going to do in retirement that will be new, super fun, intellectually stimulating and meaningful?  This year, we give you the best of both worlds by tapping into retirement wisdom on both sides, the financial strategy and planning but also the equally important emotional side. In both interviews, the experts give us some solid practical advice. Far from boring, this episode will also give you some new perspectives to ponder for your second half of life. First, we have Chris Taylor, an experienced journalist who has written financial articles for Reuters, NBCNews, Kiplinger, Fortune, Money , AARP, Wall Street Journal and more. Chris and Carl play a fun game of Family Feud about MONEY! Carl then talks with Dan Haylett, our second expert and Carl's new friend across the pond (in England). Dan delves into the human side of "What's next after retirement?" He is the host of the widely recognized "Humans vs Retirement" podcast, author of book, "The Retirement You Didn't See Coming" and he also advocates inverting traditional retirement advising by focusing on an individual's personal purpose and desired lifestyle before mapping out the math. Carl gets there's an emotional side to retirement. It's big! Dan says many people tend to make the common mistake of what's "enough" to retire. He also encourages you to think about who you are without that job title, (you're not the boss any more) plus more top-tier advice!

Do you have enough? And how do you even know? In the third and final episode of HerMoney's series with AARP, From First Paycheck to Forever Paycheck, Jean Chatzky and her roundtable tackle the biggest question in personal finance — what does financial security actually feel like, and how do you build something that doesn't just sustain you, but actually gives you peace? Hannah Williams sold her business and walked away with a life-changing payout, and has never been more stressed.  Viviana Vazquez recently hit $100,000 in investments and says she already feels like she has enough.  Ashley Parker thinks about what would happen if she suddenly had to make it on her own, and making sure she always could.  And Carly Roszkowski shares the AARP data that keeps her up at night: 65% of women 50 and older don't feel confident about retirement, and nearly half of those still working have less than $50,000 saved. Jean also introduces a concept that changes everything: decumulation.  This is the third and final episode of From First Paycheck to Forever Paycheck, a three-part series in collaboration with AARP exploring women's financial lives across generations, from your first job to retirement and the legacy you leave behind. If you haven't listened to episodes one and two yet, go back and start there; this conversation builds on everything we've covered. Jean Chatzky's new book, The Forever Paycheck: The New Retirement Strategy to Spend More, Worry Less, and Never Run Out of Money, is available for pre-order now and publishes September 8, 2026. Whether you're looking to save money, manage debt, or prepare for retirement, AARP has resources and tools to help you prepare for your financial future to reach your goals.

Did your life turn out exactly the way you planned it? Nobody says yes. Not one person. In the second episode of HerMoney's three-part series with AARP, From First Paycheck to Forever Paycheck,  Jean Chatzky gets personal, sharing that at 40, she was fired, got divorced, and lost her father all in the same year. And the women around the table don't hold back either. Ashley Parker reveals she was in the bottom 5% of earners on The New York Times politics team, and nearly doubled her salary the moment she left.  Hannah Williams shares the terrifying moment her veteran husband had a dental emergency with no insurance and no options. Viviana Vazquez opens up about being the financial safety net for her entire family, including a $10,000 out-of-pocket dental bill for her mom.  And Carly Roszkowski talks about her husband's mid-life career pivot, and what it really means to become the breadwinner. Together, they tackle the financial trade-offs that millions of women face every day — stepping back from work, carrying the mental load, navigating the sandwich generation, and trying to build a safety net when life keeps pulling the floor out from under you.
