“I believe that legacy is not what you leave when you're gone, but rather what you live every single day.” In 1995 our guest, Barbara Greenspan Shaiman, founded Champions of Caring , an organization dedicated to empowering youth to become social activists. Thirty years later, the organization has worked with over 10,000 high school students, inspiring them to contribute over 1 million hours of service locally, nationally, and globally. Today at 76, Barbara is actively working on a documentary, "The Coral Ring Legacy," which further spreads her message of positive social change. This documentary, inspired by her mother’s “Mench Test” and a family heirloom with a powerful story, highlights the long-term impact of Champions of Caring and promotes intergenerational collaboration for social good. Throughout our conversation you can hear how Barbara’s life is informed by the lessons of resilience, kindness, and social action instilled by her parents, both Holocaust survivors. Barbara uses The Mench Test to challenge herself and others to act with kindness and compassion daily. She believes everyone can make a difference through small, meaningful actions.

EP 36 An Intergenerational Conversation About Improving Digital Literacy for Older Adults 45:42

I love providing representation of folks thriving after 65. Which is why I only interview folks over 60 on the podcast – because if you see it, you can be it right? But, as you may know from prior episodes on the podcast, I’m constantly sharing how important it is to have intergenerational relationships and conversations. Please meet Stefano Selorio, 25, the Founder and CEO of Carevocacy, a company dedicated to empowering older adults with digital literacy skills that enhance their access to healthcare, while bridging generational and technological divides. This conversation brings together voices from two generations—myself at 68 and Stefano at 25—to emphasize how intergenerational relationships and collaborations can make a powerful impact. In this case, it’s on health and wellbeing for older adults. Stefano and I explored the essential role of technology in healthcare, making health resources accessible to all, regardless of age, background, or tech familiarity. Stefano shared some specific ways digital literacy skills, including understanding AI, can directly impact health equity for older adults. He also shared some common challenges older adults face when learning new technology skills, and how does Carevocacy address these challenges to make learning accessible and empowering. I really loved learning about Carevocacy's handy app called Apo AI. Anyone who needs help with their phone or other technology devices can ask Apo AI how-to questions via text messages on their phone - easy peasy! Please visit https://carevocacy.com to learn more about their wonderful digital literary services and Apo AI!

" Reciprocal wisdom is a sharing that goes both ways. There is a wisdom that is rooted in our past. But there’s also wisdom and an ingenuity that lives within the current generation." In this enlightening episode I had the honor of speaking with the remarkable Raymond A. Jetson, 68, an influential public servant, a social innovator, and a visionary leader dedicated to improving the lives of Black elders. From Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Raymond shares his extraordinary journey of lifelong commitment to community service, racial, social, and economic equity. You’ll hear about Raymond’s 'Aging While Black' initiative, a platform Raymond created to address the unique challenges faced by Black Elders. You’ll learn about the three pillars driving his mission: recalibrating the village, embracing innovation, and leaning into elder wisdom (Sankofa!). Raymond also shares personal stories, including his father’s legacy and his daughter's battle with Cornelia de Lange syndrome – both have shaped his empathetic approach to service. This episode highlights the significance of intergenerational wisdom, community support, and the transformative power of social innovation. Please join the conversation and explore how you can contribute to building equity within the Black elder community.
