What is Ageism? Are you a hidden victim? How does ageism affect your travel life? In this episode, I interview Ashton Applewhite, the pioneering advocate against ageism, to discuss the multifaceted issues surrounding aging and societal perceptions of older adults. Ashton is an internationally recognized authority on ageism. She is the author of the critically acclaimed book, “This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism.” Ashton co-founded Old School, an anti-ageism clearinghouse, and has been a pivotal figure in raising awareness about age-related issues for nearly two decades....

Jeff Rubin is the author of Wisdom of Age and the seminal video series Senior Moments. I speak with a true visionary and artist on what it means to be older, how we see ourselves and others, and why ageism is so "sticky." Can we ever escape from our age-essential attitudes? How do we transcend our self-age prejudices? Why do some elders continue to contribute to the community, and others as wealthy and healthy withdraw? Which one will you be as you age?

Since the Generation Bold Podcast aired six years ago, partially because of Covid and partially because the baby boomers are aging, we have all taken a fresh look at senior residential communities, from past failures to the new, uplifting way they offer care.

The Kinsman, a service club, started the organization about a half-century ago. From humble beginnings, Kin Village now serves hundreds of people every day.

Doctor Erasmus is the author of Fats that Heal Fats that Kill. In my interview with him we cover what fats are, the difference between Omega 6 and Omega 3 and why low fat diets are not the path to weight loss or health. The relationship between low IQ, attention deficit disorder and even depression to low fat diets. We look at how to store oils in the correct way to keep them potent. Low fat diets have been marketed effectively to the public. But perhaps we should instead be thinking of right fat diets rather than low fat.

info_outlineTen years ago, Eric thought he was on his way to a happy retirement after his career in finance was over. Then his life turned upside down. He and his wife divorced after a 23-year marriage, Eric moved out of the house they had just remodeled, and the Financial Crisis wiped his post-retirement flexible income stream away.
His transition led to soul searching for real meaning after retirement, and he discovered a formula for:
- More adventure in your life
- Being in better shape
- Having more exciting volunteer positions, travel, and hobbies
- Being happier and more fulfilled in retirement
Eric calls our Third Age the age of fulfillment. “No longer are career advancement, financial gain, and child-rearing the focus of our lives. We are now exploring what to do with our freedom and can do what we find interesting and purposeful as our time commitments wind down. This phase of life typically lasts 20 to 30 years.”
The interview helps you, in Eric’s words, “consciously design their journey into the Third Age by sharing thought-provoking ideas, resources, and tools in all aspects -financial as well as non-financial – affecting the quality of our experience.”
