Age Blind

Nancy A Shenker

SEX...LIFE...TECH! We all care about them -- at any age! More of us than ever before are living to 100+. Each pithy episode deals with the challenges we face along the way and what each generation has in common with those that came before or after them. Our guests are fun, fact-based, frank, and sometimes a little naughty and irreverent. And, because each episode is about 30 minutes, you can listen or watch while putting on make-up or shaving, running errands, or doing whatever it is you do -- at ANY age! (Formerly known as The Geezer Proofer, we've rebranded because we discovered that intergenerational collab is the future and that limiting our podcast to the 50+ market was probably a tad ageist!)

    Very Scary Things

    Boo. It's the Halloween edition of Age Blind, and the SLTbox is haunted. A CPA dressed as a data vixen, a horror filmmaker, and a marketing agency founder who will flee any patio the second a bird shows up join Nancy to confess what scared them as kids, what still gives them the heebie-jeebies, and the one fear they plan to kill off before 2027. Spiders. Ventriloquist dummies. Clowns (not all of them). Birds. Silence. The unknown. And a confession from Nancy's childhood that she has never said out loud on a podcast before. What you'll learn in this Haunted House: why the shyest kids in the room grow up to run the room, how one guy made an award-winning horror film with zero crew, why founders should talk about their failures way more than their wins, and the question an executive coach once asked Nancy that she still uses today. Turn the lights off and press play. If you dare. Jump to the Good Parts • 00:00 Boo.

    78. Back to School (the classroom you never had)

    Back-to-school at 70 means learning about sex, taxes, podcasting, entrepreneurship and why getting older doesn't mean getting less curious.  Forget homeroom. This week Age Blind turns into a back-to-school classroom with the teachers you actually wanted: a doctor who says your "erectile dysfunction" probably isn't real, a CPA turning tax season into a guilty pleasure, and a 70 and sexy podcast queen who refuses to shrink with age.  It's like a naughty version of SEX ED, MATH CLASS, and SOFT SKILLS. What you'll learn in this class: Dr. Elliot Justin says 90% of men labeled with ED don't have it. The fix isn't a pill; it's a ring. Melissa Diaz is launching Happy Taxxx, where your tax prep comes with entertainment. Ande Lyons built a podcasting community from scratch and found her sweet spot decades into her career. Everyone's inner kid shows up, plus a hot take on why learning, erections, and orgasms should never have to end. Pop quiz: Are you actually as broken as you think you are? Press play and find out. Jump to the good parts 00:00 Class is in session 01:18 Ande Lyons is 70, sexy, and not here to be caged 02:57 Melissa Diaz spills on Happy Taxxx 04:54 Dr. Elliot Justin says your "ED" might be fake news 10:15 Founder lessons nobody puts in a LinkedIn post 19:19 A broken back, a shock experiment, and the ring was born 23:10 Where to find the crew (and how to invest) 26:14 Learning never ends. Neither should the fun. This Week's Guests Dr. Elliot Justin, CEO of FirmTech and inventor of the TechRing, the world's first wearable for penis health. His new device tracks clitoral health. His mission: real data for better sex, at every age.
