Send us a textCreativity is an innate, generative, evolving process of self-expression. One application of creativity requires an individual to be open to new ideas and approaches to seek an original solution to a problem or challenge.

Pursuing creative activities is essential to securing and maintaining a vibrant, healthy retirement lifestyle.In this interview, Hugh Willard will provide an in-depth exploration of the role and application of creativity in the lives of retirees.

“We are seeing a labor-for-technology swap as organizations become much more dependent and scalable, and what's driving that scale and that productivity is technology.” – Christopher Sawchuk, Principal and Global Procurement Advisory Practice Leader at The Hackett Group Procurement is no stranger to change. Over the last decade or more, procurement has seen significant shifts in priorities, in their role in the business, in how they are measured, and even in their daily processes and workflows.

Send us a textIn her book, There Was an Old Woman: Reflections on These Strange, Surprising, Shining Years, Andrea Carlisle describes what it means to her to live a long life. She examines why her experience as an older woman is so different from what she expected it to be and realizes that her expectations came not from older women themselves but primarily from a culture that misled her from an early age right into the present day. Through children's stories, art, literature, and common stereotypes that pop up in everyday conversations, we are told what an old woman is and needs. In her view, we can only challenge misperceptions through speaking up, telling our own stories, and supporting one another in facing what these years actually are: the hard truths as well as the perspective and often profound complexity that come with growing older.In this episode, you will discover:Why Carlisle is not afraid of the word "old" and is willing to apply it to herself while also recognizing that others may not feel the same way and have their reasons.The fact that we're all lumped together because of one shared physical reality is as wrong when it pertains to the old as it is with any other group that shares a single physical characteristic.Why a lot of the misunderstanding, not to mention fear, we have about older women is because for centuries, men told their stories, painted their pictures, and constructed fantasies about them that are just as dangerous and damaging as the ones they built around nubile, ever available younger women. Who are we really? Just as proved to be the case in every other era of our lives, living in old age is an individual experience. The opportunity we have now, as opposed to other times in history, is to create more honesty about these years by pushing ourselves to own and share our unique reality with others.About Andrea Carlisle:Andrea Carlisle is the author of There Was an Old Woman: Reflections on These Strange, Surprising, Shining Years. Her work has been published in literary journals, newspapers, magazines, anthologies, and by independent presses. Go Ask Alice . . .

Send us a textIt is time to reframe how we think about midlife, the transition period of life between young adulthood and old age, as not a "crisis" but a chrysalis - where a profound transformation happens.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel is in for Jim on 3 Martini Lunch. Jon and Greg reflect on the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. They also discuss Joe Biden's final pre-emptive pardons for political allies and family members, as well as new polling data showing overwhelming American support for Trump's stance on deportations and trans issues.First, they welcome Donald Trump's inauguration and celebrate the end of Joe Biden's presidency. They express their excitement about the immediate steps taken by President Trump to address key issues, including border security, deportations, energy independence, and rolling back the green agenda, and DEI policies. Next, they discuss Joe Biden's predictable but revolting actions in issuing pardons to five more family members plus Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, and all members and staff of the January 6th committee in Congress. Jon and Greg highlight the hypocrisy of Biden's 2020 vow not to use pardons for family members or to try to change federal policy through social media. They reflect on how these pardons further reveal Biden's weak character and legacy as a failed president.The episode concludes with a look at the latest New York Times Ipsos poll, which shows a massive shift in public opinion. Americans overwhelmingly support deporting criminal illegal immigrants and oppose the idea of males competing in female sports or giving puberty blockers to minors. Jon and Greg discuss how this cultural shift signals a broader change in American values over the past few months.Finally, they look at the latest New York Times/Ipsos poll, which shows a massive shift in public opinion. Americans overwhelmingly support deporting criminal illegal immigrants and a strong majority wants mass deportations of illegals. By huge numbers, Americans also oppose the idea of males competing in female sports or giving puberty blockers to minors. Please visit our great sponsors: BetterHelphttps://Betterhelp.com/3MLThank you to our sponsor Betterhelp.  Visit today for 10% off your first month of online therapy.  Write your story with Betterhelp.
