In the episode 272 of the IDEAS+LEADERS Podcast, I’m joined by John Tarnoff, executive coach, career transition expert, TEDx speaker, and author of the best-selling Boomer Reinvention: How to Create Your Dream Career Over 50.

After being fired 39% of the time during his decades in the entertainment industry, John reinvented his entire career at 50 - and today he helps mid- and late-career professionals build meaningful, sustainable careers despite ageism, a broken hiring system, and outdated workplace culture.

We dive into what career reinvention really looks like in midlife and explore John’s contrarian but highly effective approach to landing better roles, building credibility, and attracting opportunities without traditional job searching.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What career reinvention actually means after 40 or 50

• How to stand out despite age bias and outdated hiring practices

• The “hidden job market” and how to tap into it

• Why your résumé won’t get you hired — and what will

• How to turn LinkedIn into a personal marketing engine

• Reframing networking so it becomes natural, useful, and enjoyable

🎧 Tune in for a refreshing conversation about confidence, clarity, and building the next chapter of your career with purpose and strategy.
