Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast from the HubSpot Podcast Network.

This week, we’re joined by John Tarnoff, executive career coach, TEDx speaker, and author of Boomer Reinvention, to explore how professionals over 50 can turn career challenges into powerful second acts. Whether you're being ghosted by employers or wondering if it's “too late” to pivot, John is here to tell you it’s absolutely not.

💡 Key Takeaways from John Tarnoff

🧠 Being Over 50 Is Not a Liability—It's an Advantage

Experience, resilience, and perspective are your superpowers. The key is learning how to position them.

👋 Stop Chasing Job Ads—Start Building Relationships

Most jobs aren't advertised. John breaks down how to tap into the hidden job market through strategic networking.

🧰 Ditch the Resume Obsession

Your resume won’t get you hired. Your story will. John shares how to craft a narrative that attracts opportunities.

🎯 Use the 3 Elements Career Builder Framework

John’s proven method helps late-career professionals align purpose, skill, and opportunity into a thriving new path.

💥 Get Clear on Your Value and Claim It

From ageism to “overqualified” labels, John teaches how to turn perceived weaknesses into standout assets.
