Ep 84 Unveiling the Bias of Ageism: An Insightful Discussion with Ashton Applewhite

Welcome to episode 84 a Midlife Maximum episode, featuring Ashton Applewhite, a renowned ageism activist and author of the book This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism.

Ashton is a leading voice in the fight against ageism and has been featured in New York Times, National Public Radio, the New Yorker, and the American Society on Aging as an expert on ageism and named as a Fellow by the Knight Foundation, Yale Law School, and the Royal Society for the Arts.

In this Maximum episode, Ashton talks about the history of ageism, the cost of ageism, how to recognize it, and what we can do to fight it.

She explains how ageism has a significant cost to individuals, families, and society as a whole.

Ashton also emphasizes that ageism is a real problem with real consequences. We can all play a role in fighting ageism by challenging our own ageism and speaking out against ageism when we see it.

Bernie Borges Host Midlife Fulfilled Podcast

I started podcasting in 2013. My most recent podcast is the Midlife Fulfilled weekly podcast which launched in February 2022.

I was frustrated by a lack of fulfillment, in spite of good health, a successful career, good fitness, a healthy marriage, and overall happiness. Despite these blessings, I was lacking fulfillment.

I conducted a survey and discovered that I wasn’t alone on the journey to find more fulfillment. As an experienced podcaster, I knew that I could provide a platform to help men and women in midlife find more fulfillment and joy through a weekly podcast.
