Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sunset Exits: The Truth About Ageism at Work (with Lisa Oakley)
Q: What can people in their 50s or 60s practically do to future-proof their careers?
Conduct an honest audit across six pillars (learning, network, confidence, brand, exit planning, resilience), then close any gaps with concrete three-month action plans, while maintaining a visible willingness to learn and adapt.
Sunset Exits: The Truth About Ageism at Work (with Lisa Oakley)
Q: What's your definition of ageism?
Ageism is a multifaceted issue that can be framed as discrimination or bias tied to age, but it often manifests in subtle signals like cultural fit judgments or assumptions about agility and freshness, rather than outright prejudice.
Sex After 60, Part Two: What We Didn't Say the First Time
Q: So what are your tips then?
Start small by talking about small, relatable topics and gradually connect them to your own wants and needs, creating a safe space for both partners to share openly and learn a new level of communication around intimacy.
Die Without One, Lose Control of Everything
Q: What happens to a will when someone remarries?
Remarriage revokes the existing will unless there are provisions that explicitly contemplate the remarriage and specify its effect on the will.
"They're Always Right": Lessons on Dementia Care From a Daughter Who's Lived It
Q: What lead you to create the Harris List and how does it help families?
It emerged as a practical navigational tool to connect families with the right services and information quickly in a fragmented system, reducing time and stress during a crisis.
