What if the thing the workplace devalues most is actually its greatest advantage?

In this powerful episode of I Can Fit That In, host Erin Coupe sits down with Maureen Wiley Clough, former tech executive and creator of It Gets Late Early, to unpack the hidden cost of ageism in corporate culture. From being called a “dinosaur” at 37 to walking away from the corporate ladder, Maureen shares why experience, wisdom, and reinvention matter more than ever.

Together, they explore what happens when ambition no longer aligns with identity, why corporate stability is becoming a myth, and how to trust yourself enough to build something new.

Key Takeaways:

- Why ageism impacts both younger and older professionals

- How experience becomes your greatest asset in reinvention

- Why entrepreneurship is freedom and one of the hardest jobs you'll ever love

If you’ve ever questioned your next chapter, this conversation will remind you that your value does not expire.
