Drawing from personal experiences, research, and plenty of humor, they discuss a wide variety of jobs suited for older adults, including rideshare driving, food delivery, medical courier work, school bus driving and monitoring, remote administrative work, stadium event jobs, focus groups, product testing, and even opportunities in acting, modeling, and creative side hustles. The conversation highlights the importance of flexibility, social interaction, and finding work that aligns with personal interests and lifestyles. Hope shares her experiences working in commercials and theater, while Harold offers practical advice on avoiding online scams and using trusted resources like AARP for job ideas and guidance.

    Episode 9: Let's Talk About Tech

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of You Still Have Time, hosts Hope and Harold tackle a topic that affects everyone—especially as we age: technology. With their signature honesty and humor, they remind listeners that they’re not tech experts, but everyday people navigating the same challenges many face when trying to keep up with an increasingly digital world. The conversation centers on one key idea: maintaining independence. As more services—from healthcare to banking to communication—move online, having even basic tech skills is no longer optional. Hope and Harold emphasize that while no one needs to adopt every new gadget or platform, understanding fundamental tools like smartphones, email, text messaging, and search engines can make life significantly easier and help avoid reliance on others. They walk through practical, real-life examples of essential skills, including:  Using devices (phones, tablets, computers) confidently  Sending and receiving emails and text messages  Navigating the internet safely (including avoiding scams like phishing)  Leveraging tools like video calls, GPS, and apps for transportation or health monitoring The hosts also explore more advanced—but increasingly common—technologies such as smart home devices, telemedicine, and online banking, while acknowledging their own hesitations in adopting some of them. Importantly, they address the emotional side of learning technology: the fear, frustration, and even embarrassment that can come with it. Their message is clear—learning doesn’t stop with age, and asking for help is part of the process. Finally, they offer encouragement and resources for getting started, from local libraries and community centers to organizations like AARP, reinforcing that support is available for anyone willing to take that first step. Bottom line: Technology may feel overwhelming, but embracing even a small part of it can help you stay connected, capable, and independent. Ads do not influence the answers you get from ChatGPT.

    Keep Moving

    Send us Fan Mail This episode, entitled “Keep Moving”, focuses on the importance of staying physically active—especially as we get older—and how even small, consistent efforts can make a meaningful difference. Key points: Movement matters at any level: The hosts emphasize that doing something is far better than doing nothing. Activity doesn’t have to be intense—walking, light weights, dancing, or even household chores all count.  Aging brings challenges, but activity helps: As people age, they naturally experience reduced flexibility, balance, and strength. Regular movement can help maintain mobility, prevent falls, and support independence. Physical and mental benefits: Exercise improves cardiovascular health, blood sugar control, strength, and balance. It also supports cognitive function, memory, and may help delay conditions like dementia. Consistency over intensity: The key is choosing activities that are easy, enjoyable, and sustainable. Making exercise convenient (like walking instead of going to a gym) increases the likelihood of sticking with it. Adapt to your ability: The hosts stress doing what feels comfortable and appropriate for your body—especially for those with health conditions or past surgeries—and consulting a doctor when needed. Variety and enjoyment help: Options include walking, swimming, dancing, cycling, group activities like pickleball, or even seated exercises. Social activities can also reduce isolation. Practical mindset: Build movement into daily life—carry groceries, take the stairs, or use simple equipment at home. Start slow and avoid overdoing it.Episode Website: https://youstillhavetimepodcast.buzzsprout.com Have a question or comment or want  to be notified when new episodes are released Email Us youstillhavetimepodcast@gmail.com Leave a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/YouStillHaveTime
