It Gets Late Early is a show about what’s really happening to experienced workers as the rules of work change. We dig into layoffs dressed up as AI strategy, side hustles and portfolio careers, the quiet rise of workplace ageism, and the (sometimes harsh) reality of building a career in midlife and beyond. We connect the dots between corporate decisions, economic forces, and the real lives of people navigating a changing world of work to help make sense of it all…because the career playbook we all followed was for a game no one can win anymore. You’ll hear honest conversations, expert insights, and practical advice for people trying to figure out what comes next—all wrapped up in a healthy dose of dark humor. Because sometimes you have to laugh so you don’t cry. Hosted by Maureen Wiley Clough—corporate dropout and ex-journalist who won’t quit telling the truth about work.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-10T02:19:57.969761+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-gets-late-early-6096744"},"episode":{"title":"Colorado’s Game-Changing Job Application Act, the Case for Intergenerational Teams, and How You Can Take Action With Janine Vanderburg","slug":"colorado-s-game-changing-job-application-act-the-case-for-intergenerational-teams-and-how-you-can-take-action-with-janine-vanderburg","published_at":"2025-04-15T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-gets-late-early-6096744/colorado-s-game-changing-job-application-act-the-case-for-intergenerational-teams-and-how-you-can-take-action-with-janine-vanderburg","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-gets-late-early-6096744","url":"https://www.itgetslateearly.com/","audio_url":"https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/90b6ea5c-37d1-463d-9ee6-25074e261190/IGLE-EP50-AUDIO-V3.mp3","summary":"We’re done just talking about ageism.
