52 people. 52 stories. 52 weeks.
Experience isn't the end of the story. Sometimes it's where the interesting part starts.
We're talking with people over 50 who are building something, changing something, starting something, rediscovering something, or simply figuring out what comes next. One person. One conversation. Every week.
We've all seen the lists. 30 Under 30. 40 Under 40. People to watch. Rising stars. We like those lists. But something interesting happens after 50, too.
People start companies. Change careers. Leave careers. Get knocked down. Come back. Finally try the thing they've been thinking about for twenty years. Decide success means something completely different than it used to. And sometimes they have absolutely no idea what they're doing next.
Those stories are interesting too. 52 Over 50 is about having those conversations. Not lectures about aging. Not another list of accomplishments. Real conversations with interesting people about what they've learned, what they're doing now and what might be next.

Is still figuring it out
You don't need to be famous. You don't need to be a CEO. You don't need to have everything figured out. Actually, that last one might make the conversation more interesting.
Beginning soon, 52 Over 50 will feature one person every week. Podcast interviews, video conversations, written profiles, shorter features. The format may evolve. The idea won't: interesting people, honest conversations, no corporate script.
The first conversation drops here.
A story we're still chasing.
We're putting together the first group of people for 52 Over 50. Maybe it's you. Maybe it's someone you've worked with. Maybe it's someone who completely changed direction at 55. Maybe it's someone doing something fascinating who would never think to nominate themselves. Tell us about them.
52 of them are coming soon.
