Although companies are finally getting on board about diversity and inclusion, there is still one issue that remains one of the greatest vulnerabilities that American workers face.

Ageism.

What can you do when you're considered to be “too old” to be hired or kept as a valuable member of the workforce?

How do you fight age discrimination in the workplace?

In this episode, we talked to Ashton Applewhite, an expert on ageism, TED Talk Speaker of Let’s end ageism, and the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism, about the sad reality that older employees face and the increasing incidence of age discrimination in the workplace.

Age discrimination can happen in any industry, and it can happen to anybody. But you should know that you can push back and take action.
