What if the skills you built in the 1990s — before Google, before smartphones, before AI — are exactly what the 2026 workplace is desperate for? In this episode, we explore why your "analog" toolkit — real conversation, deep focus, first-principles problem-solving, and the ability to read a room — isn't a relic. It's a competitive advantage. As AI takes over routine tasks, the human skills you've been sharpening for 30 years are becoming more valuable, not less. If you're over 50 and navigating career reinvention, this one's for you.

Why are Gen Z and millennials suddenly obsessed with knitting, puzzles, and other “grannycore” hobbies? In this episode, we dive into the surprising data behind the analog hobby boom, why screen-free activities are now a rebellion, and how the skills you learned from your grandmother are suddenly the height of modern cool. We explore the cultural shift, the economic impact, and why older generations now hold the keys to a new kind of connection. Whether you’re a lifelong crafter or just curious about the trend, this is the story of how comfort, patience, and hands-on creativity are making a comeback.

Behind the headlines about layoffs and age bias lies a silent crisis: identity death. For men over 50, losing a job isn’t just a financial setback—it’s an existential threat. Today’s deep dive unpacks the psychological toll of job loss, from the collapse of the “career anchor” to the rise in depression and even suicide risk. We explore new legal protections, the myth of the skills gap, and why performing normal hides a much deeper pain. If you’ve ever wondered why job loss after 50 feels so devastating, this is the conversation nobody else is having.

If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or thoughts of suicide, please know you’re not alone. Help is available. In the US, call the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or visit 988lifeline.org. For resources in other countries, visit findahelpline.com.

While headlines scream about layoffs and the "slow bleed" economy, something surprising is happening: hiring for workers 65+ has jumped 60% to 8% of total hires. We decode this paradox by connecting three critical sources - ABC News on corporate optimization, a game-changing New York legal memo on disparate impact protection, and shocking labor data showing the "reliability premium" in action. Discover why the same market forces creating anxiety are actually creating protected lanes for experienced workers, how New York's new age discrimination law is reshaping hiring nationwide, and why companies obsessed with efficiency are now seeking the low-risk option in a high-risk world. From algorithmic bias to cultural fit challenges, learn how to position yourself as the solution, not the problem.

2025 saw 1.2 million Americans laid off - a staggering 58% increase from 2024, matching pandemic-level job losses. But here's the contradiction: while companies claim they can't find talent, workers over 50 (the fastest-growing workforce segment) face invisible algorithmic barriers. We connect the dots between massive layoffs, AI hiring discrimination, and a landmark lawsuit that could change everything. Plus, why 2026 might be the breaking point where age bias becomes economically unsustainable. From "juniorization" to desperate impact law, this deep dive explains why the job market feels rigged - and why that might finally change.

The 2026 job market is “stuck in place”—and for workers over 50, that frozen labor market is dangerous from both sides: getting pushed out and being blocked from getting back in.
In this episode, we connect four key signals:
•SHRM’s “stuck in place” labor market outlook and what it really means if you’re over 50
•Newsweek’s latest layoff list and how “strategic trimmings” quietly target experienced workers
•A 133% spike in ageism mentions on Glassdoor, exposing what’s really happening inside companies
•A German survey showing 22% of companies haven’t hired anyone over 50 in a decade—and why that should matter to you even if you live in the US, UK, Canada, or Australia
We’ll talk about how this creates a frozen job market that traps older workers:
•Pushed out of stable roles through restructurings, “performance” narratives, and cost-cutting
•Blocked from re-entry by algorithmic hiring filters and quiet age bias in recruiting and promotions
But we’re not stopping at doom. We’ll also dig into why a tipping point is coming as demographics, talent shortages, and reputational risk start to push companies to rethink how they treat workers over 50—and how you can position yourself ahead of that shift.
If you’re over 50 and navigating:
•A recent layoff, redundancy, or “reorg”
•Constant anxiety about being next on the chopping block
•Silence from applications you’re clearly qualified for
•The feeling that you’re invisible to hiring managers and algorithms
…this episode will give you a clearer map of the landscape you’re in and practical ways to respond without blaming yourself for a broken system.
My new book, “Coming Home After 50: A Journey of Rediscovery,” launches February 6th and is available for pre‑order now: LINK
If today’s stories made you feel seen, that’s the point. We’re in this together.

The federal layoff moratorium expired January 30th. A Harvard study confirms 24% of workers over 50 who lose their jobs never work again. And corporations are using "AI washing" to target experienced workers. Today we connect the dots on what this means for anyone navigating their career after 50.
