I Am This Age episodes

  • From Financially Broken to Professor Emeritus: Marilyn Bizar Koch, Age 76
    Meet Marilyn, a Professor Emeritus from National Louis University in Chicago, co-author of 5 books about education, and founder of Chicago Best Practice High School. Today Marilyn opens up about how she got through the dark days of divorce, financial insecurity, deciding to go for a doctorate in her 40’s, and what it was like to surprise an auditorium full of high school kids with a Nelly concert on the MTV show, "Jammed". Marilyn’s biggest piece of advice? Be open and curious about EVERYTHING. A full transcription is available at www.iamthisage.com

  • From Not Knowing How to Swim to Ironman World Champion: Bobbe Greenberg, Age 72

    I recently asked Bobbe how she felt about not being able to compete in 2020, and if she plans to compete in 2021. She responded:

    “Throughout 2019, I was asked if I’m going to “defend my title.” Then came the pandemic, which meant all of the races were canceled. But as it turns out, I hold my “title” for an extra year, save a ton of money in race fees and travel, and most importantly, as the “winner” I‘m automatically guaranteed my spot for the race in 2021. This is especially important to me this year because I turn 75 and only two women have ever completed the IM World Championship in the 75-79 age group. Regardless of the outcome, I’m super excited to race, and hope that it happens!”

    I’m so honored to have Bobbe as my very first guest on I Am This Age! I’m inspired by her every time we speak, and I wish her the best of luck in her next race, hopefully in October of 2021.

    Hi, I’m Molly. I’m an ex-wine professional, a storyteller, a life coach, and a podcaster. I’ve lived all over the US, and I currently reside in my hometown city of Chicago. Want to know how and why I thought of doing a podcast about 40+ year-olds and their continuing life journeys? This is why! Or at least some of why. Join me as I get a little vulnerable (yikes), tell you how I got here, and explain what’s next to come.
