Chip Conley, entrepreneur and author of the book Wisdom @ Work: The Making of a Modern Elder, joins us to discuss how we can fight against ageism in the workplace by reconsidering what it means to be, or to work with, an “elder.” Chip tells us about how his time as a mentor/intern (or as he calls it, a “mentern”) at Airbnb shaped how he approaches his younger colleagues, and how embracing and celebrating the wisdom one gains with age is crucial for older workers in today’s workplace. Then, Liz and Rico help a listener who’s looking for a new job in their mid-60s, and we talk with Karen Whitehead, who went back to school in her mid-40s to facilitate a dramatic career change. And finally, a Safe For Work listener shares a very NOT safe for work story about changing in the first-floor bathroom.

If you have a “not safe for work” story that you want to share (you know, something that you’ll never forget, and you still can’t believe it even happened at your office), then we want to hear from you! Leave us a voicemail at 424-224-5711, or send us an email at [email protected]. And as always, if you've got a burning workplace question and need some advice, don't hesitate to send us an email (that email, unsurprisingly, is also [email protected]). You can also find us on Twitter, we’re @SafeFor Work, and don't forget to follow our sage hosts on Twitter, too; they're @SSLiz and @RicoGagliano. And if you want to check out Liz’s other show, Satellite Sisters, you can find it on Apple Podcasts or Art19.
