We have had a number of guests on The Art 2 Aging who have spoken out about ageism in the workplace and how its insidious nature prevents qualified older adults from re-entering a job market that believes if you’re over 50 or 60 you’re irrelevant.

This week, thanks to our powerhouse guest, Loren Greiff, we tackle the problem from the point of view of the job seeker. What does an executive with 30 years experience need to do to get re-hired - and not just re-hired but with a substantial pay increase as well? You’ll find some great answers in this week’s episode.

As someone once famously said, “everything is related.” When it comes to our bodies, that couldn’t be more true.

This week on POV, yoga expert instructor, Janine Agoglia who writes Yoga Living 50 And Beyond on Substack, talks about how movement is vital in our lives. Without movement, our bodies will stiffen up which, in turn, will affect our emotional wellbeing and then our mental state of mind. That’s what we mean when we say that everything is related.

Ever wonder about how social policy - especially healthcare policy- is created? It’s not something that many people consider because social policy just is. However, the story behind healthcare policy, social security, meeting the needs of the older population, feeding the poor – is far more complex and downright complicated than you would ever consider.

Our guest this week is Erin Maruzella and she is neck deep in social policy creation, especially when it comes to healthcare for older Americans. Formulating such policy in the current political climate is an almost Herculian task., as she explains in this week’s episode of The Art 2 Aging.
