#229 A Fix for Ageism | Paul Walborsky


Listen Later

There are many cultures worldwide and throughout history that have valued age and wisdom. Yet in the US today, ageism is prevalent. Too many modern Americans of a certain age who feel self-conscious about making a reference to an old TV show or a phenomenon from a while back often use the expression, “I’m dating myself.” 

Disparaging our age can be toxic. We’re all aging, and age can bring with it many gifts, especially if, along the way, we’re accruing wisdom, learning more, and improving ourselves.

While we can bemoan the realities of ageism, a better option is to do something. Paul Walborsky (https://openwater.group/) decided to take that option and he created an enterprise that may benefit people of any age. Paul is a seasoned executive and founder whose CV includes SVP at The New York Times, and CEO of multiple startups that have been acquired by giants like Meta. He is currently the co-founder and CEO of OpenWater, an organization whose mission is to connect seasoned professionals with decades of experience and showcase their wisdom to the world.

So, listen in as Paul talks about aging, wisdom, and the strengths of these traits.
