In this episode, I sit down with Maureen Clough, a passionate advocate for age inclusion and the host of the popular podcast It Gets Late Early.
Maureen is a former journalist and director of strategic partnerships for a variety of tech companies turned speaker, podcaster, and career strategist for professionals over 40. Her advocacy has been highlighted in outlets such as Wired, Business Insider, and Inside Edition.
Maureen first caught my attention with a viral LinkedIn post reacting to the ageist language she discovered in Indeed’s Career Guide, a moment that ignited a broader conversation about the challenges facing seasoned professionals in today’s workforce.
During this insightful conversation, Maureen shares her personal journey, the origins of her podcast, and the inspiration behind her mission to fight ageism in the tech industry. We explore the parallels and differences in how age discrimination manifests in various industry sectors, and Maureen offers actionable advice for shifting societal mindsets, improving hiring practices, holding companies accountable for their actions and embracing the value of intergenerational teams.
This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone navigating a career in their 40s and beyond, and those looking to create more inclusive work environments.
