Key points discussed on this episode 1.

Role of Market Research: Sherri emphasizes the potential of market research to uncover the needs and preferences of older adults, helping to develop products and services that cater to their specific requirements. 4. Technological Solutions: The discussion covers how technologies like virtual reality and wearables can help mitigate social isolation and health issues among seniors by providing immersive experiences and real-time health monitoring. 5. Inclusive Research Practices: Sherri discusses the importance of inclusive research practices to ensure representation of older adults with disabilities, advocating for accessible methodologies and collaboration with advocacy groups.

It Gets Late Early: Career Tips for Tech Employees in Midlife and Beyond
My guests today are Elizabeth Aniskevich from the AARP Foundation and lawyer Peter Romer-Friedman, two powerhouses in the fight against age discrimination. They're here to shed light on this pervasive issue that's been hiding in plain sight (or, should we say, in plain algorithms?).Remember when job listings could brazenly ask for "recent college grads" or specify a maximum age? Well, those days might be gone, but the discrimination just got sneakier! Elizabeth shares some stats from AARP's research: a whopping 64% of older adults have seen or felt the sting of age bias, with 40% experiencing it after hitting the big 4-0.Additionally, Peter shares his experiences battling Silicon Valley giants and their questionable hiring practices. We dive into the world of AI and algorithms, exploring how these supposedly neutral tools might be perpetuating age bias without anyone even realizing it.We're covering everything from sneaky job ad targeting on platforms like Meta to the subtle ways ageism creeps into workplace culture. And the best part? We're not just complaining – we're talking solutions. So, whether you're a seasoned tech pro, a coding newbie, or just someone who believes in workplace fairness, this episode is for you. Join us for an eye-opening conversation about age, tech, and justice."When you're talking about recruiting people, it's very different than recruiting customers for soap or paper towels or a car. When you're recruiting for a job or a mortgage or insurance, there are laws that say you can't exclude people based on who they are, including their age.”- Peter Romer-FriedmanIn This Episode:-AARP research findings on the prevalence of ageism and its impact-Elizabeth's journey into civil rights litigation-Peter's public interest litigation work and experience -Age discrimination in Silicon Valley-Intersectionality and cultural factors that compound ageism -How AI and algorithms perpetuate discriminatory job postings-The burden of proof in age discrimination cases-Workplace diversity and the value of older workers-Positive signs and cultural shifts in ageism And much more!Connect with Peter Romer-Friedman:-Website: https://prf-law.com/ -LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-romer-friedman-7031576/ Connect with Elizabeth Aniskevich:-Website: https://www.aarp.org/aarp-foundation/ -LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabeth-aniskevich-b3690617Connect with Maureen Clough:-Instagram: @itgetslateearly - https://www.instagram.com/itgetslateearly/-YouTube: @itgetslateearly - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGrHwk-y7ERaq7bCSjZYf1A?sub_confirmation=1-Website:

How to Develop Tackling Large Challenges As a SuperpowerJanelle grew up in a tiny town in rural Minnesota. “There were no stoplights in my entire county,” she says. Significant challenges appealed to her despite–or maybe because of–her situation. At JAG, she faced a big challenge. She wanted to shift focus and attention from the corporations to the students, making them the stars of the show. It was a big challenge in the context of a national nonprofit organization led and sponsored by the people she wanted to move out of the spotlight. A dozen years later, however, she can say, “mission accomplished.”For developing the ability to tackle big challenges, she offers a simple formula: “increments, increments, increments.” She adds that looking back can allow you to see progress and measure it.By following her example and advice, you can strengthen your ability to tackle large challenges. With time, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Guest ProfileJanelle Duray (she/her):President & CEO, Jobs for America's GraduatesAbout Jobs for America's Graduates: Our mission is to empower the nation's young people with the skills and support to succeed in education, employment, and life.Website: www.jag.orgTwitter Handle: @JAGnationalInstagram Handle: @jag.nationalFacebook Page: facebook.com/jagnationalBiographical Information: Janelle Duray has over fifteen years of experience in education and workforce development consulting and nonprofit management.

Can startups help to end senior poverty and enable dignified aging in place? Paolo Narciso, VP of Product and Program Development and Optimization at AARP Foundation and Nima Roohi Co-Founder and CEO of Blooming Health share their collaboration reduced friction, overcame barriers and drove impressive results such as a 500% increase in enrollment, 82,000 engagements and staff time reduction from 57 days to 30 days. All as part of the AARP Foundation Innovation Program.
Facilitating greater participation — specified as engagement in social activities that provide opportunities for social interaction with others in the community — is pivotal for granting older adults to fulfill their basic socialization needs, self-actualization and supporting society in dealing with population aging. In the United States, almost a quarter of community-dwelling older adults are socially isolated, and 43% of these older adults report feeling lonely. Due to the crucial nature of such engagement for older individuals' health, its decrease has been linked to substantial health consequences, including a 29% increased chance of death. The concern of encouraging older adults to maintain social involvement is only addressed in a narrow context. This Is Getting Old, with our mission to move toward an age-friendly world, invites you to watch the full episode or listen to the podcast of the 9th episode of our 10-part AARP/ Age-Friendly Social Innovation Challenge—Part 9: Social Participation. Learn more about valuable programs and innovative solutions that can help you or someone you know. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ Loneliness Is A Chronic Disease Regardless of one's age, loneliness is often as debilitating as a health condition. It's equivalent basically to having a chronic illness or a disease. Most of us experience social isolation during COVID 19 is equal to smoking about 15 cigarettes a day. ✔️ Roger And His Social Participation Issues The participants, who were university students from the DC Metro area, older adults, and local leaders who live in the region and work in the age-friendly space, looked through the lens of Roger. He is 88 years young and is a retired concert jazz pianist. Roger lived by himself in a small townhouse in Washington DC. And there's a senior center a few blocks from him with weekly game nights and free dinner. He could walk over there but rather not. Furthermore, his doctor told him that he lost 15 pounds at his last physical examination. ✔️Social Participation - Problem Statement Roger needs a way to thrive physically and emotionally because he appears isolated and has deteriorating health conditions. ✔️community Health Navigators For Socially Isolated Adults Like Roger Social and community services are critical to healthy longevity, maintaining health and providing purpose. Thus the group came up with Community Health Navigators as an innovative solution for older adults like Roger. Community health navigators would be developed to address both the underlying medical conditions and find meaningful connections with the community regarding older adults' health and personal lives. Community health navigators work to extend the medical journey for older adults and connect medical care to the needed social services. Community Health Navigators can be social workers or some physician assistant role that would be trained to have compassionate conversations to make sure connections are made within the community. ✔️More Ways To Help Older Adults Like Roger Check out a program led by the AARP Foundation called Connect2affect at Connect2Affect.org if you are someone you know who is experiencing social isolation. This website will give you more information on getting help for yourself or someone you know, give you other ideas for supporting people in your area, and learn about new interventions to reduce social isolation. You can also take the Isolation Assessment; find local and online resources and ways that you can volunteer to serve others. You may also have another idea for a solution - or know of a program that would help older adults and their families facing similar challenges.

Remind me why I'm doing this?Host(s): Dr. Tracy VitaleWelcome to the DNP Project Podcast where we share tips, inspiration, and more!This is a quick inspirational tip for DNP Students. Do you ever feel down on yourself or question why you are working towards your DNP? Do you question your decision to return to school? We've been there. Such are the trials and tribulations of graduate school. Even as a faculty member I sometimes reflect on how I ended up where I am - not in a bad way, but more of needing a reminder of what my purpose is…Let's take a minute for some reflection and inspiration! As we talked about in one of our first podcasts, the DNP is a degree not a role. As AACN outlined in their 2006 white paper, the DNP degree helps prepare the nurse to engage in the highest levels of nursing practice. That being said, why is this so important? Who's making decisions for the way you practice - whether as a nurse, a leader, or an advanced practice nurse, or any of our other roles? Administrators, legislators, physicians? Are decisions being made based on information we have to contribute to the topic?Do we have a seat at the table when decisions are being made? Can we see the bigger picture? Pat Polansky, who is the director of program development and implementation at the Center to Champion Nursing in America, an initiative of AARP, the AARP Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation once explained it this way… Get off your 2 north runway and into the air traffic control tower. While you're worried about your plane taking off, it's important to see the bigger picture and appreciate the challenges of all the other planes trying to land and take off and how to coordinate the efforts. You're doing this so you can have a seat at the table. Not just any seat...but one which is grounded in evidence and expertise. You CAN do this! Keep up the good work!

Guest Marc McDonald, Dartmouth '96 and self-proclaimed film lover, had been combining his love of media and communications and sports through writing and broadcasting during college. After sticking around campus for a year after graduation as an assistant track coach, he also took advantage of the opportunity to run the Dartmouth Film Society and a chance to connect with the Telluride Film Festival kicked off a passion that he was able to stoke for over two decades. Although he immediately knew he wanted to run a film festival for a living, Telluride had only a small full-time team.His skill in marketing and storytelling and innate managerial skills led him to arts management elsewhere—with a Shakespeare theater company. He realized that he needed to hone his management skills further, so pursued an MBA. The career he made for himself after that has centered on managing teams and communications work within social impact organizations. But he’s never given up the dream to run a film festival. He just figured out how to have his cake and eat it, too. In this episode, find out from Marc how keeping a passion project alive takes work but pays dividends...on ROADS TAKEN...with Leslie Jennings Rowley. About This Episode's GuestMarc McDonald has a history of managing organizations and teams—and their storytelling efforts—in the social service, arts and media fields. He is currently with the AARP Foundation where he has held a number of Communications, Marketing and strategy integration roles. His previous experience includes stints at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company, among other. But his love of film and community accounts for his love affair with the Telluride Film Festival, where he has been Manager of Theatre Operations, seasonally, for the last 20-plus years.

In Episode 48 we discuss the history, evolution, and destructive nature of ageism (also known as age discrimination) in the workplace. This episode touches on the discrimination of younger workers and the bridges, ladders, and leveraged opportunities that have better positioned younger people to be catapulted into career positions. What we focus mostly on in this episode is the subtle, overt, and blatant discrimination against older workers (ages 40 and older) by older and younger employers. We discuss these topics and issues:- ADEA and its weaknesses, loopholes, and defanging by the US Supreme Court- State versus Federal age discrimination laws, enforcement, and oversight- Various cases of workplace ageism in different industries, by younger and older corporations- AARP Foundation's efforts to support and fight for older workers- Efforts of EEOC and the battles they face- Ageism in job postings and interviews, and other discriminatory practices- Words and phrases that are unethical, discriminatory, and possibly illegal to include in a job posting, advertisement, and/or interview- Steps to legally protect yourself from ageism in the workplace- What companies (of all sizes) should be doing to change, implement, and enforce a culture of inclusion, diversity, and equity- The irony and hypocrisy of ageism- A look at the numbers: percentage of older workers now and in the future in comparison to numbers facing and reporting discrimination in the workplace- Career and job options for older workers laid off, fired, forced into retirement, and unemployedTo file an inquiry or formal complaint with the EEOC, you can file online at publicportal.eeoc.gov or call 800-669-4000.SHOW INFORMATION:Company: Foreman & Associates, LLCWebsite: ForemanLLC.comIG: @ForemanLLCFB: @ForemanAndAssociatesTwitter: @ForemanLLCPodcast Twitter: @ItAintSmall YouTube: user/ForemanAssociatesHOST: Natasha L.

With the coronavirus outbreak, the world as we know it has been rapidly changing. Schools and businesses are closed, social distancing requirements have been implemented, supermarket shelves are bare, and many are concerned about how they will pay their bills. With all of this in mind, we are offering a series of podcasts to help you navigate this uncharted territory. We will focus on the various areas of life to help you and your loved ones stay well and strong. Due to COVID-19, social distancing restrictions have been put in place. But social distancing does not have to mean socially disconnecting. Before coronavirus concerns, one in four older adults were affected by social isolation. Now, with limits on public gatherings and guidance on social distancing, millions of older adults are left with limited or no social interaction. Joining Joan to address the physical and mental health risks of prolonged self-isolation and how we can stay connected, is Lisa Marsh Ryerson, president of AARP Foundation.

Money worries in old age are an everyday concern for a huge number of senior citizens around the world. In the United States, one in seven live in poverty. It is an unacceptable number and Dr. Paulo Narciso, Vice President of Impact Areas for the AARP Foundation, is determined to reduce it. He and his colleagues are using financial technology to help vulnerable older adults save for unexpected expenses, and Voice Enabled AI to detect social isolation and improve social connectedness. Dr. Narciso previously founded CloudHealth Asia and, as a serial entrepreneur, he has led several startup ventures. In this LLAMA podcast interview with Peter Bowes, Dr. Narciso explains how even the poorest people in society can save for their old age; why unforeseen circumstances sometimes “spiral out of control,” and how Silicon Valley innovations could provide the best answers. This is the third in a series of interviews recorded at the USC Body Computing Conference. Find out more about the event here and the USC Center for Body Computing here.In this interview we learn about:The principles of innovation that are being applied by the AARP Foundation to tackle poverty amongst older people.The four pillars of senior citizen povertyIncome security - enough money to cover expenses.Housing security - making sure we can “age in place” if desired. Food security - having access to the right foodsSocial isolation - increasing social connections and support as we ageHow digital technology and the principles of behavioral economics are being used to help people save, with an app. Living the lives that we want, with a "saving mindset.'Why human nature means many people will give money to others while neglecting their own needs."“"We see that in churches - people will tie 10 percent of their income despite the fact they don't have anything for themselves. They always are willing to give back. We just have to take that mindset and have them pay themselves as well.”Why some cultures, outside the U.S., put more emphasis on caring for older adults.How Dr. Narciso says his eyes have been opened to the plight of older people since joining the AARP Foundation.The resilience of people and Dr. Narciso’s "defining moment" working on a refugee camp during the exodus from Vietnam. Why, as a businessman, Dr. Narciso’s measure of success is based on jobs created rather than profit. Dr. Narciso is also an accomplished athlete and a veteran Iron Man competitor. Why he says the sport is “life changing” and how it mirrors his business life, when “life is not always fun and games."“What I've learned from Iron Man is, it might look hard now but just keep moving and the next mile might be a little bit better."At the 2017 USC Body Computing conference LLAMA host Peter Bowes moderated a session focussing on better outcomes for older people through the use of digital technology.

A conversation on HUNGER AND ISOLATION IN AMERICA, including AARP Foundation, St. Mary’s Food Bank, Borderlands Produce Rescue, St. Vincent De Paul, West View Community Food Bank, and the Area Agency on Aging Region One Caring Circles program, and what these entities do to tackle hunger and isolation.
Bob Edwards and celebrity chef Carla Hall discuss the importance of food and the fight against senior poverty and hunger at the AARP Foundation’s Meal Pack Challenge event on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Care and policy involving older people is an active area of regulation and legislation with many policy advocates. One way of influencing policy is through regulation-related litigation. In today's episode, nursing home abuse attorneys Rob Schenk and Will Smith discuss litigation advocacy and current regulations affecting older people with guest Iris Gonzalez, Senior Attorney for AARP Foundation.
Lisa Marsh Ryerson, president of AARP Foundation, shares the importance of social connections and the causes and implications of isolation with host Bob Edwards.
How can we focus our empathy for others to solve big social problems? The two guests on this week’s episode of Add Passion and Stir use their empathy to make the world a better place. AARP Foundation President Lisa Ryerson’s conscience led her to mission-driven work. Right now, that mission is hunger among America’s older population. “Ten million people who are 50 and older are hungry each and every day in this nation. And older adults who are hungry living in poverty don’t often ask for the help they need,” she says. Buttercream Bake Shop owner and long-time No Kid Hungry supporter Tiffany MacIsaac also carefully considers how she gives back. “It really is so hard because you… want to help everyone… but for us, food is such an important part of our life. We’ve invested most of our energy into helping with hunger,” she says. Both of these changemakers are focused on real impact. “Focus does matter when you’re trying to drive outcomes,” says Ryerson. “It’s way past time to solve for hunger in America,” she states. AARP Foundation is a founding member of the Root Cause Coalition – an Add Passion and Stir sponsor - which addresses the root causes of health disparities. Referencing recent headlines, host and Share Our Strength founder and CEO Billy Shore asks about sexual harassment in the work place - especially the traditionally male-dominated world of professional kitchens. “For women, these stories are not surprises,” says Ryerson. MacIsaac agrees. “That’s what’s unfortunate. I think everyone knows it, but nobody wants to talk about it. [We need to] force people to talk about it and force people to confront it,” she believes. She also emphasizes the need to speak out when injustice or harassment is happening to someone else. Whether talking about poverty, hunger or sexual harassment, Ryerson concludes, “We are all bound together. We need to take care of each other and not be blind to injustices.” Share in this multi-layered conversation about humanity and our sense of shared accountability.
We are living longer and the pace of population aging is growing faster than ever. Globally, the proportion of people over 60 years old will almost double by 2050. Aging comes with many challenges - from health and wellbeing to housing, mobility and maintaining social networks. The AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) caters for the social welfare needs of nearly 38 million Americans. Lisa Marsh Ryerson is president of AARP Foundation, the organization’s charitable affiliate. The foundation focuses on support programs and initiatives to help older people, especially those living in poverty. It is currently collaborating with a pilot program to connect senior citizens with transportation. In this in-depth interview, recorded at the University of Southern California’s annual Body Computing Conference, Lisa explains how she has been inspired by her work to help others achieve purpose and happiness; why ‘elderly’ may not be the best word to define older adults; what it means to be an "intentional neighbor" and why she believes a mindful attitude helps in planning for the 100-year life. Show notes and links Lisa discusses a pilot project announced at USC Body Computing Conference to study how the health of older populations can be improved by helping them become more mobile. The pilot is a collaboration with the insurance company UnitedHealth and the ride sharing company Lyft. What is AARP Foundation?

Older adults often miss medical appointments because they are unable to get the hospital or doctor's office. A lack of transportation has been shown to be a major factor. The inability to get around also leads to social isolation and loneliness and could contribute to the failing health of many senior citizens. In the age of on-demand car services, younger generations take for granted the ability to hail a relatively cheap ride, but older people are less likely to embrace the technology that makes it possible. This may be about to change, with an inspiring collaboration between several organizations with an interest in helping older people get around. The ride sharing company Lyft has teamed up with the University of Southern California (USC) Center for Body Computing and the AARP Foundation to pilot a program to connect senior citizens with transportation. With a $1 million grant from the insurance company UnitedHealth, the aim is to study how the health of older populations can be improved by helping them become more mobile. Lyft's Dan Trigub (@datrigub) works on projects to develop the company's healthcare partnerships. In this in-depth interview he explains how the pilot scheme will work; why he views Lyft as more than just a service to take millennials to bars; how driverless cars could help older people with physical challenges; and why he believes his 3-year old son will never know what it means to have a driving license.
