Why does contribution matter so much as we grow older?It's a question I hadn't thought about in quite this way until my delicious conversation with David McNally.Like many of us, I used to think being on purpose was the goal. But David offered a beautiful reframe: our purpose doesn't change, our contribution does.Whether we're mentoring a younger generation, starting a podcast at 67, going back to college at 72, or simply showing up each day with curiosity and compassion, we're all helping move humanity forward.That's what it means to become an Inspired Elder.Davi…

What if the most creative chapter of your life is still ahead of you?In this episode, I'm joined by my dear friend Irene Buchine, whose life beautifully reminds us that creativity, purpose, and self-expression don't have an expiration date.At 77 years old, Irene celebrated her very first gallery show, Beyond Words, a collection of artwork, photography, embroidery, writing, and personal reflections that span decades of her life. I had the privilege of attending the exhibit, and it inspired this special conversation.What makes Irene's story so extraordinary is that she didn't…

What can riding a motorcycle thousands of miles across North and South America teach us about thriving after 60?Quite a lot, according to Michael Yang.Born in Seoul, South Korea, Michael immigrated to California as a teenager and embraced the opportunities of the American Dream. He went on to earn degrees from UC Berkeley and Columbia University, build a successful Silicon Valley startup, and eventually sell his company during the dot-com era.But Michael's most surprising chapter began in his sixties.Rather than slowing down, he climbed onto a motorcycle and embarked on epic journeys acro…

What happens when you’ve spent over 50 years at the top of your field… and then decide to start over?In this episode, I sit down with Steve Robinson, 79, whose extraordinary career in public radio spans decades of leadership, Innovation, and storytelling.

From expert to beginner.And he did it at 70.We ta…

Your greatest limitation as you age might not be your body… but what you believe is possible.In this conversation, I sit down with David Stewart, founder of AGEIST and the visionary behind the Super Age movement, to explore what it really means to age by design, not default.We talk about how internalized ageism quietly shapes our lives: the risks we don’t take, the things we tell ourselves we “can’t” do, and how, over time, we may be lowering the bar on what we believe is possible.David shares a powerful perspective: our biggest limitation isn’t age, it’s our “poverty of imagin…
