Maureen Wiley-Clough didn’t set out to become a creator. She simply got tired of being called “a dino” in tech — and decided the silence around ageism needed to end. What started as a vulnerable side project became a top-2% podcast, a thriving community, and a message that resonates with anyone who’s felt “too old” to start something new.
In this episode, we get into how Maureen built confidence, hit publish while working in a youth-obsessed industry, and kept going even when no one was watching. We talk about comparison traps, owning your voice, booking big guests before you feel ready, and why your best content usually comes after you stop caring what other people think.
Whether you’re starting a podcast, building a creator presence, or trying to find the courage to show up online, this one hits home.
We cover:
How ageism shaped her creator journey
Starting a podcast while working in tech
Publishing content when you’re scared or unsure
Breaking the comparison loop in the creator economy
Broadening your niche without losing your message
Booking big-name guests early
Turning a podcast into a real business
Why it’s never too late to build influence
If you’re building confidence, building a brand, or building a new chapter — this episode is your sign to begin.
