Showing results for "The Big Shift" in Careers

Marc Freedman, hailed by the New York Times as “the voice of aging baby boomers [seeking] meaningful and sustaining work later in life”, makes an impassioned call to accept the decades opening up between midlife and anything approximating old age for what they really are: an entirely new stage of life, which he dubs the encore years. The whole 60- to 80-year-old period is simply new territory, he writes, and the people in this period constitute a whole new phenomenon in the 21st century.

Green Shoots & Big Shifts is hosted by Reetu Gupta, who started the show to have open, hopeful conversations about what it really takes to make sustainability part of how we live, lead, and work. Each week, she talks with people doing innovative, meaningful work, turning ideas into action. From startup founders and corporate change-makers to community leaders - reimagining how business, society, and the planet can thrive together. These are stories about innovation, collaboration, possibility, and the everyday shifts that move us toward a more abundant and resilient future.

Small Biz, Big Shifts is the blogcast version of my Tips from T. Marie blog—where we talk about career pivots, business reinvention, and what to do when your work life stops making sense. I’m Tina Marie Hilton, and I’ve been there: questioning everything, craving more meaning, and figuring out how to rebuild without starting from scratch. This is for small biz owners, midlife career shifters, and anyone tired of pretending the old way still works.
