EPISODE SCORE: Too Young to Be Old

PODCAST EPISODE—Jeans, Resilience, and Act 3: Diane Gilman on Defying Ageism After 50

 

Narrative Overview

What does it mean to own your story in the middle age genuinely and afterwards? During the current episode, we will get acquainted with Diane Gilman, a serial entrepreneur, fashion outlaw, and a creator of DG2 Jeans, who gained success in the fashion industry with numerous innovations and by providing a different point of view about aging in the society. From running a 1960s boutique while studying at the University of California in Los Angeles, to inventing the middle-aged jean and becoming one of the most famous tele-retail personalities on QVC and HSN, Diane has always been a loud voice from the community of people aged 50 or older. After going through breast cancer and publishing her book and podcast “Too Young To Be Old”, Diane still encourages women to leave their invisibility, be more open about their self-discovery, and restore their confidence. This conversation is about her secret recipe for vibrant Act 3, personal rebranding, and the mission to demonstrate the coolness of aging.
