WHAT is success?Success isn't one-size-fits-all. For me, it's about surrounding myself with people—capital partners, collaborators, and teams—who share my values and care about the same outcomes I do. Alignment is everything.Success is the quality of people you surround yourself with—and ensuring they're aligned with what you care about.2. HOW do you achieve it?By stepping into complexity and finding the opportunity others overlook.Rolling up your sleeves, doing the work, and being curious.3. IF you're stuck, what do you do?Reconnect with what has always driven you—even if your current role doesn't.Don't be afraid to try something new4. WHEN do you know it's time to evolve?When your comfort zone starts to feel like a cage. You know it's time to evolve when the version of success you're living no longer feels like yours.What The Tom Matt Show's Audience Should Know About Me - Wendi Burkhardt    1    I build things—from the ground up and the inside out.I've led startups, raised capital, fixed broken systems, and helped organizations grow through transition. Whether launching a proptech platform for aging adults or leading growth at a private equity firm focused on special-situation tech companies, I know how to build value where others see complexity.    2    I've reinvented myself—and helped others do the same.I've shifted from founder to investor, from mission-driven tech to buyouts, and from operating a company to advising others. Reinvention isn't just a theme for me—it's a lived experience. I help leaders and organizations navigate those same crossroads with clarity and confidence.    3    I'm values-driven—but results-oriented. I believe in doing meaningful work—but it has to work. I've built business models that are financially sustainable and mission-aligned. I care deeply about impact, aging, housing, and equity—but I lead with discipline, accountability, and data.    4    I don't believe success is one-size-fits-all. Titles, exits, and metrics matter—but what really matters is whether your life and work reflect who you are and what you value. I've helped founders, executives, and platforms recalibrate not just what they're doing—but why.Thank you to Brock Fletcher and the selling team of Keller Williams Realty for their continued support of our programming!For more information on past guests, Tom's published books, and how to get in touch, please visit our newly updated website at https://www.tommattshow.com#RFZ #radio #broadcasting #podcast #lansing #michiganradio #mab #mentalhealth #positivemessaging #capitolinvestments #privateequity #startups #nextbigideaThank you to Brock Fletcher and the selling team of Keller Williams Realty for their continued support of our programming!'The Tom Matt Show' Heard on-The Michigan Talk NetworkWKAR Michigan State Universities AM 870 & 102.3 FMWJIM-AM 1240 LansingWYPV FM 94.5 Mackinac Citywww.tommattshow.com(podcasts)iTunesFor more information on past guests, Tom's published books, and how to get in touch, please visit our newly updated website at https://www.tommattshow.com#RFZ #radio #broadcasting #podcast #michiganradio #lansing #michiganradio #mab #refirementzone #successstory #humaninterestpodcast #selfhelppodcast

This episode of Big Girl Money features seasoned founder and entrepreneur, Wendi Burkhardt (14:57 - 1:07:24). Wendi is widely regarded as an authority in modern-day homesharing, and is the mastermind behind the roommate matching service for people over the age of 50, Silvernest. Silvernest enables Americans to overcome many of the financial and social challenges facing them as they age and put the 50 million empty bedrooms across the country to work! We also discuss myths around aging with technology, conscious capitalism, and authenticity without apology. Thanks for listening!

Recently this podcast was invited to co-host a Next For Me event in NYC called “Myths & Misconceptions: The Truth About 50+ Consumers." (Full disclosure: NFM is one of our sponsors.) The other co-hosts were Stria News and Silvernest. Stria News is a media platform for the longevity market that inspires cross-sector solutions for our aging society. Silvernest is an online service that pairs boomers, retirees and empty nesters with compatible housemates for long-term home sharing.The event took place at Trove Social, a social club for people in their prime, in lower Manhattan. About 50 people attended, all of whom are active in one way or another with the midlife reinvention movement. That included members of the media, marketers, entrepreneurs and consumers.The goal was to discuss, honestly and openly, the myths and misconceptions surrounding the age 50+ demographic and how this translates into a lost market opportunity. And to bust those myths. You’re probably familiar with a lot of them: Older people are grumpy.Older people hate technology and don’t use it.Older people don’t spend money.Older people don’t have sex... and they don’t want to.Older people have less to contribute. The underlying question: what if more people recognized that those 50 and up are a vast, diverse and untapped source of potential dollar revenue as well as being overlooked contributors to society?Some of us might still be having sex while others don’t. Some of us love technology and the latest iPhone while others tolerate it or ignore it. The point is that the millions of members of this age 50-plus demographic are all different. And yet we all seem to be confronted with the same ageist attitudes and the same misconceptions about who we are as individuals.In this episode Debbie chats with Jeff Tidwell, co-founder of Next For Me. This is a follow-up to Debbie's conversation with Jeff in EP8 of Season 1. She also talks to Susan Donley, founder, publisher and CEO of Stria News, and to Wendi Burkhardt, co-founder and CEO of Silvernest.PHOTO: Debbie, left, and Wendi Burkhardt of Silvernest.  Mentioned in the episodeNext For Me's Oct. 7, 2019 event in NYC"An Unabashedly Honest Conversation on the Realities of Aging" (article in Stria News by Carolyn Jacobs on Oct. 21, 2019) Support this podcast:Leave a review on iTunes: it means so much!Subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher or Spotify Credits:Host: Debbie WeilProducer: Julie-Roxane KrikorianPodcast websiteMusic by Manuel Senfft Connect with us:Email: thegapyearpodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @debbieweilInsta: @debbieweilRead Debbie and Sam's blog: Gap Year After Sixty Thanks to our Media Partners!Encore.org, an ideas and innovation hub tapping the talent of those 50+ as a force for good.Modern Elder Academy Navigating mid-life transitions: Grow Whole, Not Old.Next For Me Rewriting +50 life through new work, a new purpose, or a new social contribution.
