🎙 The $47m Workforce Scam that Nobody Talks About | Bradley Schurman
We Don’t Have a Labor Shortage — We Have an Age Problem
The headlines say “no one wants to work.”
The truth? We’ve pushed out the people who can.
Bradley Schurman, author of The Super Age and a global expert on demographic change, joins Loren for a conversation that will make you rethink everything you’ve been told about the workforce crisis.
It’s not a pipeline issue.
It’s not a talent shortage.
It’s not AI coming for your job.
It’s age bias, baked into our systems, our hiring practices, and our culture.
In this episode, Bradley breaks down:
- Why companies aren’t struggling to recruit—they’re failing to retain
- The real reason older workers feel invisible
- Why the “apologize for your age” playbook is broken and dangerous
- How organizations can future-proof themselves by embracing intergenerational collaboration
And don’t miss:
✔ The 3 C’s every employer must master
✔ What AI gets wrong about people
✔ The ROI of relevance in a 5-generation workforce
Because age isn’t the problem,
it’s the solution we’ve been ignoring.
This episode isn’t about working longer.
It’s about working smarter. Together.
Listen in. Then look around.
The future of work isn’t younger.
It’s all of us, side by side.
