  • 1. Are you Age Blind?
    Welcome to my new and improved podcast brand! I realized that producing a podcast specifically for people 50+ may actually be a little ageist. Let's throw away those generational categories and vast generalizations and focus more on what we have in common -- LIFE, SEX, and TECH! Guests of ALL ages will learn from each other and share our savvy. This is just the beginning of the Age Blind movement! Stay tuned in the weeks ahead for more news from Nancy A Shenker -- coach, speaker, podcaster, and tech OG.
