Description:

Today I speak with Elly Katz, founder of a unique program that connects older adults, "sages," with younger generations, "seekers." The program aims to provide a platform for intergenerational learning and share hard-earned life lessons. During the discussion, Elly shares the impact the program has had on both sages and seekers, including increased happiness and relevance for the older adults and increased empathy for the younger generation. The conversation also touches upon the challenges posed by the current world of smartphones and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the program.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to be inspired and make a difference in their community.

Take-aways:

1. There is an empathy deficit and creating opportunities for intergenerational conversations is helping reduce this lack of empathy in the participants.
2. Consider an encore career. Elly went from being a graphic designer to starting this award-winning non-profit.
3. Feel the power of your years of experience and wisdom.
4. If you pursue something you are passionate about, you almost feel no fear.
