Episode Synopsis


Bridging generational divides.In this episode of The Future Age podcast, host Zannat Reza explores how we can tackle some of society’s biggest problems, from climate change to the housing crisis, through bridging generational divides. It's not just about mentorship or passing the baton but the power of different age groups working together to build a better future.   Eunice Lin Nichols, co-CEO of CoGenerate, discusses how the three P’s (proximity, place and problem solving) can create strong bonds across generations.  Akaya Windwood, lead advisor at Third Act, talks about what older and younger adults can learn from each other when engaging in advocacy.
