About this listen
60% of executives over 50 experience age discrimination in hiring. The system is rigged — but there's a bypass.
HR filters you out. Founders don't. That's the whole game.
In this episode:
• The LinkedIn/AARP data on age discrimination (it's worse than you think)
• Why HR is incentivized to filter you out — and it's not personal
• The fractional executive bypass: Talk to founders, not recruiters
• "Qualify hard, close soft" — the framework that actually works
• The David story: What founders really need (hint: it's not dashboards)
• Your first move this week — 3 companies, 3 problems, 0 applications
Key insight: HR filters you out. Founders don't.
Your experience isn't a liability. It's the product.
