    Facing the grim prospect of being laid off after 50 can feel like a career death sentence. But it doesn't have to be that way? Join me, Matt Brooks, for this eye-opening episode of the Barrier Busting Podcast as we peel back the layers of ageism in the workplace. From my personal journey through the emotional and psychological impacts of job loss to hard-hitting statistics that reveal the widespread nature of age discrimination, this episode is a call to act against ageist stereotypes. Despite the Age Discrimination and Employment Act of 1967, ageism remains an insidious problem that's often hidden in plain sight. We'll expose how it shows up in jokes, microaggressions, and biased hiring and promotion practices, while also celebrating the invaluable contributions of older workers to entrepreneurship and innovation.

    But the story doesn’t end there. We'll also navigate the rocky terrain of career pivots post-ageism, shedding light on the societal costs of sidelining experienced older adults. Discover how I found clarity by identifying what I no longer wanted in a career and re-imagining my ideal workday, and how I ultimately found a great pivot.
