In today's episode, we talk with Lisa Marsh Ryerson, the president of AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) Foundation, the charitable affiliate of AARP.

Discuss the shared challenge of ending senior poverty and how there are 37 million individuals 50 and older already living in poverty or one life event away from living in poverty Understand how poverty is not due to an individual failing and requires a multidisciplinary approach to solving it that includes new and bold solutions to issues like housing, jobs, wages, food security, social connection / social isolation Discuss the growing public health issue of social isolation Hear Lisa describe how physical distancing due to COVID-19 cannot become social disconnection and how the AARP team has brought in social entrepreneurs to use lean startup and human-centered design to address social isolation with chatbots and other innovations Address the myth that when older adults retire they will have income to support their life, when in fact retired adults often need skills and tools to generate income into their older age Learn how the entire AARP organization uses innovation including an Innovation Lab that looks for start-up companies at various stages that are driving social impact tools Understand how AARP supports various social innovators through in-kind support and how it launched a program using AR (Augmented Reality) so families and individuals can remain connected with each other Hear about what Lisa has learned about how to do innovation well which includes following the process of innovation and lean startup to inform an approach, make good choices, solve problems and drive grants. On any given day, we can fall in love with a great idea in search of a problem. It is important to look at the root problem and test idea Discuss how human-centered design is critical when working with vulnerable and low income population because of ageism, structural racism and inequality.

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.

Lisa Marsh Ryerson, president of AARP Foundation, shares the importance of social connections and the causes and implications of isolation with host Bob Edwards.
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?
