Episode 595: EUNICE NICHOLS, Co-CEO, CoGenerate - bringing older and younger together to solve problems & bridge divides

While we live in the most age-diverse society in human history, with almost equal numbers of people of every age, the US has become an age-segregated nation, with few opportunities for generations to connect. Here’s my conversation with EUNICE NICHOLS, Co-CEO of CoGenerate - the recently chosen new name for what had been called Encore.org. The organization’s focus evolved from seniors’ purposeful second and third acts to cogeneration - bringing older and younger people together to solve problems and bridge divides. In the words of Encore founder and Eunice’s co-CEO, Marc Freedman: “in our new chapter – in Encore’s encore – we are not just asking what older people can do for the next generation, but what older people can do with the next generation.” You can learn more at cogenerate.org.
