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":"Turn Career Setbacks Into Comebacks: Gamifying Job Searches and Nailing Your Career After Age 40 With Portfolio Rocket’s Loren Greiff","slug":"turn-career-setbacks-into-comebacks-gamifying-job-searches-and-nailing-your-career-after-age-40-with-portfolio-rocket-s-loren-greiff","published_at":"2025-04-29T12:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-gets-late-early-6096744/turn-career-setbacks-into-comebacks-gamifying-job-searches-and-nailing-your-career-after-age-40-with-portfolio-rocket-s-loren-greiff","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-gets-late-early-6096744","url":"https://www.itgetslateearly.com/","audio_url":"https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/5fdcfd0b-4148-4719-a930-9e04045f17d8/IGLE-EP51-AUDIO.mp3","summary":"What happens when the most brutal battle of your life changes how you approach everything?  Cancer sucks. It rips apart someone’s life. So, can you believe someone “gamified cancer” to make sure she still got the most out of life during her fight?   Yup, that would be my friend, Loren. In this episode, I’m joined by executive career strategist Loren Greiff, the driving force behind helping job seekers over age 40 land their ideal roles.  Her story is nothing short of inspiring - she’s not only a career coach but also a survivor of advanced-stage cancer, and she brings her incredible resilience to her work helping others get back to work. Loren helps job seekers reinvent themselves, cultivate the optimal mindset, and get intentional during job transitions. She’s all about reframing difficult situations and turning challenges into opportunities (see earlier point about “gamifying cancer”). Loren’s story is a reminder that age should never be seen as a negative. She helps her clients go beyond viewing their years of experience as a liability and instead shift their focus forward to what they can deliver in the future. Her work highlights the shifting narrative around ageism in the workforce, particularly for those over 40, and demonstrates how anyone can continue to reinvent their career and make meaningful contributions. Loren’s infectious energy and drive have helped many of her clients secure roles that truly align with their passions. Tune in to hear Loren’s inspiring story and game-changing career strategies. If you’re ready to reinvent your career, this episode is a must-listen! “You don’t have to have cancer in order to gamify tough things in your life.”  ~ Loren Greiff In This Episode: -Gamifying tough situations -Finding success in naviga…","meta_description":"What happens when the most brutal battle of your life changes how you approach everything?
