Your age is a disease.
You're 49, and in a few months, it's your birthday. What immediately came to mind? Fear of turning 50. That's what the world says about us, too. Because you're turning 50, you're shunned from working, living, being, and doing what YOU want. You're invisible. It's AGEISM!
Your age is a superpower, and your spending authority is over 15 trillion dollars.
Grab seven tips to refute it … to understand the power you wield, and play age to your advantage. This way, you can advocate for yourself the next time someone brings up age, or you feel bias coming on.
- Understand your power as a human over 40, 50, and sixty.
- Lazy or aren't resourceful
- Can’t think as clearly
- You can't start a company or switch careers entirely
- Technophobia
- You look good for your age. Of course, you do.
- As we age, we're weaker in the workplace - and the world.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
