ThriveTalk: Thrive publisher Brad Mitchell

Now that we’re a few episodes into our newly launched ThriveTalk video podcast, it’s a good time to introduce you to the person behind Thrive After 55 magazine: Brad Mitchell of Mitchell Media. Brad wears a lot of hats. He’s the founder of both Northeast Ohio Parent and Thrive magazines (originally called Northeast Ohio Boomer & Beyond), along with the annual special needs publication LiveSpecial (with the National Council of Jewish Women/Cleveland), and Walden Life. The company sponsors Thrive’s popular Bash events throughout the year and has recently partnered with a national company to provide a Northeast Ohio Senior Directory starting early this year. Thrive editor Marie Elium talks with Brad about the value of providing compelling, entertaining and helpful information to the fastest-growing demographic in Northeast Ohio: older adults. We hope you enjoy the podcast. And we have a bonus for a lucky viewer/listener: the first person to email Marie and comment about the podcast or suggest a story idea gets a free one-year home delivery subscription to Thrive magazine.

Communication can be tricky with family and friends. But if you’re trying to talk to a doctor in a hospital or at an office visit, it’s not only tricky, but also intimidating.

ThriveTalk Episode 4: What's the Deal with AI?

Artificial intelligence, or AI, has been around for decades. Now that it’s in consumers’ hands, the technology is exploding. If you’ve used a computer, talked to Alexa or Siri, or scrolled through TikTok videos, you’re already using AI. Thrive’s tech columnist Tak Sato, cofounder of the Center for Aging in the Digital World, is our guest. He and his wife, Mely, founded the nonprofit group on Cleveland’s west side, offering free tech seminars and classes for older adults. Learn more at the website or by calling (440) 787-2020. You can find Tak’s Tech Talk column on Thrive’s website and in each issue of the magazine. The post ThriveTalk Episode 4: What’s the Deal with AI? appeared first on Northeast Ohio Thrive.

ThriveTalk Episode 3: Holidays with the Grandkids; What to See & Where to Go

The grandkids are coming to town. Now what? A visit from grandkids is fun, noisy, messy and (c’mon, admit it) a little bit stressful. Throw the holidays into the mix and things can go sideways fast. Thrive magazine’s grandparent columnist Karen Shadrach always has great suggestions for ways to spend time with grandkids of all ages. Her conversation with Thrive editor Marie Elium focuses on holiday events for kids of all ages. The key, Karen says, is to make things as simple as possible. Sure, a trip to downtown Cleveland to see the lights is fun, but so is decorating cookies or playing games at home. The bottom line: Kids want to spend time with someone who wants to spend time with them. Grandparents and grandkids… a perfect match. Karen Shadrach writes Thrive’s Grammy-on-the-Go column and a blog for Thrive’s website. You can reach her at editor@northeastohiothrive.com. Link to the YouTube video Listen to the audio!

How Cleveland Lost, and Then Found, Superman

When this year’s “Superman” movie hit theaters, Northeast Ohio residents saw more than just the Man of Steel; they saw Cleveland streets and buildings because part of the film was shot here. It makes sense that Superman returned to Cleveland. After all, it’s the birthplace of the action hero. Thrive’s pop culture columnist, Mike Olszewski, tells us how Glenville’s Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster created Superman in 1933, how they, and Cleveland, lost the comic book hero, and how the city is reclaiming its arguably most famous creation. Mike Olszewski is a veteran Cleveland radio host and personality. He and his wife, Janice, are the authors of books about Cleveland TV, rock and roll, radio and other topics. Mike is Thrive’s Pop Culture Chronicles columnist. You can reach him at jannmike1978@gmail.com. Link to the YouTube video Listen to the audio below.
