In this episode of the Glowing Older podcast, host Nancy Griffin interviews Ashton Applewhite, author of 'This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism.' They discuss Ashton's journey into understanding ageism, the current state of awareness, the importance of policy, and the intersectionality of ageism with other social issues. Ashton introduces her initiative, YODA, aimed at fostering intergenerational connections to combat ageism. About AshtonAn internationally recognized expert on ageism, Ashton Applewhite is the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism and a co-founder of the Old School Hub. She speaks widely at venues that have included the United Nations and the TED mainstage, and is at the forefront of the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and make age a criterion for diversity. In 2022 the United Nations named Ashton one of the Healthy Aging 50: fifty leaders transforming the world to be a better place to grow older.Key TakeawaysOldSchool.info is an anti-ageism clearinghouse—a central repository of tools and resources for the emerging movement against ageism.Ageism is a pervasive issue that affects all aspects of life. We are all biased, but we can control our attitudes about aging. The first step in any social change is awareness, because most bias is unconscious and we can't challenge something when we don't even know exists. Building intergenerational connections is vital for combating ageism. The YODA initiative (Youngers and Olders Dismantling Ageism) aims to connect younger and older generations as a tool to end ageism.Older people resent younger people for having more social and cultural visibility, and young people resent older people for having more political access and moreeconomic clout. Both are true.Fear divides us and people make money off fear. When people are divided, they tend to not come together to change ways of thinking or the ways institutions work.

With her unique blend of country, Americana, and indie folk rock, Rita has carved out a distinctive space for herself as a proudly queer artist in the international country music scene.Born to Arab immigrant parents who filled their home with country music, Rita's relationship with the genre has evolved through remarkable life experiences. At fifty-five, she's built a life in Germany with her wife of sixteen years, performs to sell-out shows, and has just released her Pride anthem, "Not Even a Little," dedicated to Dykes on Bikes.In this candid conversation, Rita shares stories of her early activism with Queer Nation and ACT UP, her forced migration due to unequal marriage laws, and how singing unexpectedly became her medicine during a period of debilitating panic attacks.Timestamps[00:00:00] - Introduction[00:02:00] - Rita's stage name and life in Los Angeles[00:04:11] - Being a native Los Angeleno and immigrant families[00:05:51] - Egyptian parents' migration to the US[00:08:24] - Discussion on attitudes toward international conflict[00:10:24] - Early activism with Queer Nation and ACT UP[00:13:10] - LGBTQ+ environment in 1980s-90s Los Angeles[00:15:29] - Shutting down anti-gay church services[00:19:02] - Who are the Dykes on Bikes?[00:20:40] - Country music influences and family connections[00:25:48] - Ageism in the gay community[00:28:12] - Creating inclusive spaces through music[00:30:48] - The transformative experience of seeing diverse couples slow dancing[00:35:04] - The story behind "Home Is Where the Heart Is"[00:40:03] - Separation from family during COVID[00:42:32] - Discovering singing as therapy for panic attacks[00:46:48] - The fifteen-year-old self segment[00:51:13] - Two minutes on living your dreams[00:54:24] - Gateway track: "Not Even a Little"Featured Songs"Slow Dancing" - A ballad inspired by seeing diverse couples slow dancing at one of Rita's performances in a rural German bar"Home Is Where the Heart Is" - A poignant reflection on being forced to leave the US due to unequal marriage laws"Not Even a Little" - Rita's Pride anthem dedicated to Dykes on Bikes, described as "country disco" with hip-hop rhythmsAbout Rita de Los AngelesRita de Los Angeles is a country singer-songwriter now based in rural Germany, just outside Cologne. Born and raised in Los Angeles to Egyptian immigrant parents, Rita spent her early adult years as an activist with Queer Nation and ACT UP before building a successful career in film and television marketing. After meeting her German wife 23 years ago, Rita was forced to leave the US due to immigration laws that didn't recognize same-sex relationships.At age 55, Rita has reinvented herself as a musician, discovering that singing helped cure her debilitating panic attacks. She now performs regularly in rural Germany, including in churches—places she once protested against. Rita donates her streaming royalties to Immigration Equality, an organization supporting LGBTQ+ immigrants.Key Quotes"I was just an angry bird. And I wanted to put myself on the street and stop traffic and shut down these church services." - On her early activism"My heart is always in two places.

Episode 288: Ageism in the Hiring Process is a real issue. It's not disappointed or underqualified candidates complaining or making excuses. Ask yourself this: how many times have you used the phrase "we need more young people?" In an era when we need experienced and knowledgeable team members that know how to learn there's no better place to look than the over-35 crowd. Age is a demographic that is often used to discriminate but it is shadow discrimination because we don't discuss it publicly -- but now is the time to bring it into the open. My guests, Anuja Miner and Barry Pilson, are dedicated association management professionals who share their love of the profession and their take on the hiring process while seeking their next opportunity. And of course I make a comment or two! I want to thank Anuja and Barry for joining me for this very honest conversation about Ageism and possible solutions to changing our mindset. Age is just a descriptor -- it's not an indicator of performance. What do you think about ageism? Share a comment!

We all get older and with age comes wisdom and, especially today, a whole lot of purchasing power.But the ad industry is appearing to suffer from a severe bout of ageism. According to the latest IPA Agency Census, just 8% of people working in agencies in the UK are over the age of 51. Meanwhile, over-51s account for over 33% of the overall UK workforce and 22% of the information and communication sector.To consider the issue in more detail, the IPA released a report in April titled Time for Some New "Age Thinking". Its author, Anna Sampson, is an industry consultant, former agency research lead and has previously written extensively for The Media Leader.Sampson sits down with Jack Benjamin to unpack why media is skewing so heavily towards younger employees, what it risks losing without more experienced people and how leaders can develop strategies for supporting age inclusion even amid lay-offs at major agencies.Highlights:1:50: Age demographics in the UK ad industry6:40: Navigating change amid agency lay-offs and AI efficiencies13:12: What do you lose by not having enough staff who are over 51?18:06: Strategies for age inclusion22:51: Advice for those facing redundancyRelated articles:Jan Gooding: The one unavoidable discrimination we're guilty ofNicola Kemp: The future of media is not Group MenAlly Owen: You peak in media at 34... by 45 you're invisible---Thanks to our production partners Trisonic for editing this episode.--> Discover how Trisonic can elevate your brand and expand your business by connecting with your ideal audienceVisit The Media Leader for the most authoritative news analysis and comment on what's happening in commercial media.

The 411 on Ageism & How To End It Faster I Janine Vanderburg For the life of me, given the choice between a strong, more profitable business and letting go of the back-assward stigma around age, the logic is clear. But is it? Like me, Janine Vanderburg isn't shy about why the math isn't mathing the business reasons why it's about impact not age.. Here's what you'll find out: What employers don't want you to know You think it's your resume that needs tweaking or your interview techniques but What if the real obstacle was something entirely different? What if the system itself was rigged against you in ways you've never considered—not because you're not qualified, but because of your date of birth. Who's impacted by ageism, or who isn't? When there's a problem like ageism in hiring, it "goes in both directions." As Janine Vanderburg reveals, we're not just talking about discrimination against those 40-plus. "Youngerism" is equally "alive and kicking." If you've been ghosted after interviews, if you've watched less qualified candidates get positions you were perfect for, it might not be you—it might be your birth year. Let's talk about the numbers they're not talking about Last year alone, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission received 16,000 complaints of age discrimination. When surveyed, over 80% of respondents believed they had experienced workplace age discrimination. Even more shocking: Resume Builder's surveys found hiring managers systematically screen out both applicants over 60 AND those under 27. And if you work with AI? 90% of hiring managers don't want to hire anybody over 35 for roles involving artificial intelligence—despite experienced professionals often being the best AI power users. Three Places Ageism Is Sabotaging Your Career (And What to Do About It) Inside your own mind: When you think "I'm too young/old for this position" before even applying In hiring practices: When recruiters make assumptions about your abilities based solely on graduation dates Embedded in systems: When AI screening tools filter you out before a human ever sees your application The Demographic Shift That Will Change Everything By 2030—just five years away—there will be more people over 65 than under 18. Companies unprepared for this reality will be scrambling for talent while others thrive. Will you be positioned to capitalize on this inevitable shift? What Smart Job Seekers Do Differently As Janine advises, "You can be willing to fight to end ageism, and you can also try to preserve your financial security." Both can be true at once. The wisest approach? Learn the unwritten rules, navigate the system strategically, and position yourself where your true value is recognized. Listen now to discover how to turn what looks like an obstacle into your greatest competitive advantage. Janine Vanderburg (https://www.linkedin.com/in/janinevanderburg/) is a Keynote Speaker, and Founder/Director of Changing the Narrative is the leading effort in the U.S. to change the way people think, talk and act about aging and ageism through evidence-based strategies and innovative public campaigns.

Todd offers thoughtful advice on navigating these challenges — especially for minorities and Black women — in environments where unconscious bias may still be present. The conversation expands into the evolving landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and how candidates can stay grounded while navigating shifting professional expectations. Todd also speaks directly to older professionals making a career pivot into medical sales. He breaks down how to turn life experience into a strategic asset, tackle ageism with confidence, and prepare financially for the transition.

Age bias is everywhere: online, at work, even in the stories we tell ourselves. Ashton Applewhite wants us to see age not as a limitation, but as a source of strength.

Jessi and Ashton discuss: • Why age has less to do with competence than we think • How internalized ageism holds us back, and how to recognize it • What managers can do to build age-diverse teams • How to tell your story in a way that challenges bias • Tips for job seekers facing age-based assumptions • The power of language in shaping workplace perceptions Continue the conversation with us at Hello Monday Office Hours!

In this second half of his conversation, Gagan Sandhu pulls back the curtain on what it really means to design financial independence. It's not about the FIRE movement or early retirement—it's about knowing your trade-offs and making conscious, math-informed decisions that align with your values. From career reinvention every 10 years to balancing ambition with family time, Gagan offers Gen Xers a refreshingly grounded take on money, identity, and midlife work design.>>Financial Independence Is a Design Decision“I didn't quit to escape. I quit because I could—on my own terms.”Gagan redefines financial independence not as a finish line, but a framework for how to live, work, and choose with freedom.>>It's Not About the Number. It's About the Math Behind Your Life“I built a five-year runway—not a fantasy.”He walks through how he calculated his freedom, X + Y + Z style: long-term retirement, short-term burn, and real-life expenses like college.>>FIRE vs Philosophy“Desires evolve. So does your definition of freedom.”In a head-to-head with Vince, Gagan goes deep on the psychology of wealth—and why independence without self-awareness is just another trap.>>Ageism or Skill Gap?“Don't blame age. Upgrade your playbook.”Gagan reframes mid-career uncertainty not as an HR problem, but a personal pivot point—and makes a sharp case for reinvention every 10 years.>>Teaching the Tool, Not the Trick“You don't need financial content. You need clarity.”He explains how Zillion helps busy families and immigrants manage wealth like pros—not through advice, but through intuitive, data-backed modeling._________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Gagan Sandhu --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

While a relatively new term, ageism is a method of discrimination based on age - typically toward older people, though it can also be directed toward younger people as well. It's a way of enforcing harmful stereotypes - too old to be effective, interesting, too young to have sufficient knowledge or understanding. In this episode, Shantelle and Cristina discuss how ageism can be internalised and used to hinder yourself, without you necessarily even being aware of it. It's a quiet whisper telling you not to wear that, it's too late to try, do or be that. They get to the bottom of where they think it comes from and how to fight it within yourself, and the beauty that can come with successfully removing it from your thoughts. Cristina Carpio is an entrepreneur, media personality, and philanthropist with over two decades of experience across media, hospitality, and the luxury lifestyle sector. A former host of CTV Morning Live, she has led marketing for a luxury auto group, served as editor-in-chief of a global lifestyle publication, and helped launch acclaimed restaurants in Toronto, including a Michelin-starred venue in 2024.

In this episode of the Glowing Older podcast, host Nancy Griffin interviews Carl Honoré, a global keynote speaker and bestselling author, about the evolving landscape of ageism and the importance of embracing aging. They discuss the positive shifts in societal attitudes towards aging, the significance of intergenerational connections, and the role of mindfulness in living a fulfilling life. Honoré emphasizes the need for active resistance against ageism and the power of language in shaping perceptions. The conversation also touches on the potential of social media and AI in redefining aging and planning for a vibrant future.About Carl Carl Honoré is an award-winning writer, broadcaster and speaker. His bestselling books have been published in 35 languages. His second TED Talk is called Why We Should Embrace Ageing As An Adventure. Whether online or in person, Carl's keynotes and workshops are dynamic, inspiring, informative, and full of humor. His audiences range from business leaders, entrepreneurs and marketers to engineers, lawyers, and medical practitioners. Carl's latest book, Bolder, explores how we can age better and feel better about ageing. It's a spirited takedown of ageism. Bolder was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and a Reader's Digest Book of the MonthCarl Honoré Links TED TALK: In praise of ageingTED TALK : In praise of slownessKey TakeawaysOutdated myths, assumptions and stereotypes box you in and limit possibilities. Throw off the shackles of the cult of youth and don't pine for the past or shrink in horror from the future.Research suggests that one of the benefits of aging is that we get better at slowing down and being in the moment. We get better at focusing on one thing at a time and are less prone to multitasking.Mixing with different generations fosters understanding. When it comes to taking down the ageist industrial complex, mixing with other generations is at the top of the list. Language shapes our perceptions of aging. The soundtrack in your head affects how you age and how you feel about aging. Try to avoid terms like “senior moment” that reinforce negative stereotypes. It is important to be polite and civil on social media—especially in this incredibly polarized time. As soon as you get angry, you lose the argument and can turn people off.Life planning can help you find the future self that you aspire to be. Start living the “right” life for you instead of stumbling along an autopilot, which is what a lot of us are doing at many stages of our lives.We are at an inflection point in history with artificial intelligence. AI can be the ultimate wingman and co-pilot in later life with our database of experience and understanding.
It's no secret to some of my longtime listeners that I'm originally from Los Angeles; sometimes referred to as the land of the rich, famous and forever young. That “fountain of youth”, has been featured and celebrated in films, commercials and advertising for decades, leading those of us who are now in our more “mature years”, to believe that we've become irrelevant, worthless and should claim our rightful spot in the proverbial “pasture”.

As the proud founder of four diverse businesses, ranging from tech to food, Ande has navigated the exhilarating highs and challenging lows of entrepreneurship, gaining insights and stories that she generously shares with her listeners.

NEPG provides a supportive space for podcasters to refine their craft, connect with one another, and expand their reach with their monthly speaker series featuring industry leaders and innovators.

Fashion thrives on newness but resists change, celebrates young designers yet makes survival nearly impossible. Olya Kuryshchuk, founder of 1Granary, knows this contradiction well. What began as a student-run blog at Central Saint Martins has become one of the industry's most unfiltered voices, exposing the gaps between talent, opportunity, and success. In this episode, Kuryshchuk unpacks why magazine editors are shifting to brand consulting, how ageism shapes studio culture, and why true innovation isn't about aesthetics but structure, sustainability, and survival. With characteristic candor, she lays bare fashion's broken pipeline, the illusion of overnight success, and what it actually takes to build a lasting career today. "What's contemporary now? Long-term thinking. Creating with intention. The industry is obsessed with speed, but the future belongs to those who build for longevity." - Olya Kuryshchuk Episode Highlights: The Birth of 1Granary – What started as a student project at Central Saint Martins became a global fashion education platform. The Reality of Fashion Education – A degree from a top school doesn't guarantee success—80% of graduates don't find jobs in the industry. Acting as a Designer Union – 1Granary advocates for young designers, exposing industry flaws and providing career guidance. The Power of Community – Success in fashion isn't just about talent; strategic relationships and collaborations shape careers. Why Editors Are Moving to Brand Consulting – Traditional media salaries are low, while brands offer better pay and creative freedom. Ageism in Fashion – Studios are filled with designers under 30, and career paths for women over 40 are nearly nonexistent. The Industry's Broken Pipeline – Young designers either join big brands or struggle to launch their own—a middle path is missing. The Harsh Truth About Fashion's Business Model – Many emerging designers can't sustain their brands, despite industry hype. Fashion's Double Standard on Sustainability – Big brands have the power to create real change, but it's indie designers who often lead the charge. What's Contemporary Now? – Long-term thinking—in an industry obsessed with speed, real impact comes from sustainability and intention. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It Gets Late Early: Career Tips for Tech Employees in Midlife and Beyond
Did you know that the average age for a first Botox injection is reportedly now just 26? Wild, right? That's just one sign of how deeply ageism is woven into our lives - whether it's in the workplace, healthcare, or even just the way we see ourselves.So, today I am chatting with Dr. Stacey Gordon, a senior fellow at NYU's Center for Health and Aging Innovation, and Aubrey Hirsch, an author and illustrator, about their incredible public art installation in New York City, “What About Age?” This 13-panel exhibit at NYU's Kimmel Windows puts ageism on full display - literally.We dive into why they created this project, what it was like watching college students actually stop and think about aging, and how they turned big, complex issues into eye-catching, can't-ignore-it street art.The response has been HUGE - from people stopping and taking photos, to my LinkedIn post about it that went viral (yes, really - 2.4 million views!). Stacey and Aubrey also unpack how ageism impacts women, how it's weirdly still okay to make ageist jokes, and why younger people need to care about this too. Tune in and let's talk about why ending ageism isn't just important - it's long overdue! And if you're in New York before March 18th, don't miss the exhibit!“Ageism is not just ageism. It's part of a larger social structure that comprises laws, policies, macro-level issues, and communal institutions like healthcare and the workplace.” ~Dr. Stacey GordonIn This Episode:-How the “What About Age?” exhibit is challenging ageism -Why age discrimination is often overlooked, and how it affects everyone-The unexpected response to the “What About Age?" exhibit-How women face age-related biases-Age stereotypes across industries and demographics-Practical steps we can take to challenge stereotypesAnd much more!Link to an article about the NYU Art Exhibit: https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2024/september/nyu-s-kimmel-windows-presents--what-about-age---oct--1-march-18-.htmlConnect with Dr. Stacey Gordon:-LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/staceygordonempa -The Wrinkle Project: https://www.wrinkleproject.org/Connect with Aubrey Hirsch:-Website: https://aubreyhirsch.com/-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aubreyhirsch/ -Substack: https://aubreyhirsch.substack.comConnect with Maureen Clough:-LinkedIn: maureenwclough - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maureenwclough/-Website: itgetslateearly.com - https://www.itgetslateearly.com/-Instagram:
