Age discrimination remains a serious barrier to employment.

But creativity can flourish with age. And experienced workers and late-in-life entrepreneurs are often more productive.

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Thursday, MPR News host Chris Farrell and his guests talk about the value of older workers and how to find purpose later in your career and in retirement.

And we want to hear from you, too.

Are you still working well into the traditional retirement years? If so, how do you think your work benefits you and the people you work with? 

Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.

Guests:

  • Richard Leider is an executive life coach and founder of Inventure — The Purpose Company. He is also a best-selling author who has written twelve books, including the fourth edition of “The Power of Purpose,” which will be published in January. 

  • Janine Vanderburg is the CEO of Encore Roadmap, which champions the benefits of older workers and intergenerational teams to businesses and brands. She is also the co-founder of Changing the Narrative, a national anti-ageism initiative.
