Is AI about to take your job — or your kid's job? What does ageism in the workplace really look like for women over 50, and what can you actually do about it? Jordan Harbinger calls it an "occupational holocaust" — and he's not wrong. In this interview, he breaks down exactly how AI is replacing skills-based jobs at freight-train speed, why people skills and networking are now your most valuable career assets, and how to use AI at work before it uses you. If you've been searching for honest answers about AI and the workforce, generational divide, ageism in the workplace, or how women over 50 can stay relevant and indispensable in today's economy - this is the conversation you've been waiting for.
Here's what makes this interview different from every other Jordan Harbinger conversation you've seen: I didn't ask him about North Korea, the FBI, or speaking five languages. We just talked & he got real. What came out was unfiltered, personal, and specifically relevant to the Power Up Generation — women over 50 who are navigating a workforce that often wants to make them invisible. Jordan goes deep on the generational differences reshaping the economy, why younger generations have adopted a "screw it" mindset about saving and retirement, and how women in midlife can actually use that context to build stronger relationships with the next generation.
Then we land on identity - and how choosing your own label, not the one the world assigns you, is one of the most powerful things you can do for your mental health and your future.Jordan Harbinger is one of the most downloaded podcasters in the world and host of The Jordan Harbinger Show — a top-ranked podcast where he decodes the stories, strategies, and secrets of the world's most fascinating people, from FBI negotiators to underground economists to former gang members turned entrepreneurs.
