🎙 Ageism Isn’t Discrimination — It’s Strategic Stupidity “Overqualified.” The word that sounds like a compliment but acts like a curse. Especially if you’re 40, 50, or 60+. Most professionals don’t get rejected because they’re not capable.They get dismissed because they show up from a time and place that’s decades long gone.  This is the #1 reason why the hiring game continues to confuse you.  You think “I’m doing everything,” but how you did it then doesn’t fly now.  I know this playbook all too well.At 54, I was put on a performance plan for using the word “Yippee” in an email.It wasn’t about tone. It was about tone policing. Age shaming. Disempowerment. I signed myself up for a mission:To end career victimization and help executive job seekers over 40 stop apologizing for their age and start leading with relevance. In this episode, I dismantle the 3 big myths keeping brilliant, experienced leaders sidelined: What “overqualified” really means (and how to destroy the label) Why hiding your age is killing your chances The difference between experience and relevance—and why only one gets you hired I show you how to: Reclaim your unfair advantages and make them undeniable Speak fluent business, so hiring managers actually pay attention Show up with value (not vanity) on LinkedIn The truth:Your resume doesn’t get you hired. Your narrative does.And if you’re not telling it, someone else is—badly. This episode is your wake-up call to stop polishing, hiding, and waiting.You are not too old. You are too damn good to play small. Listen in. Then level up. Because your story deserves to be heard—and hired. Loved the episode?
