The way we learn and the skills we need is changing faster than ever. AI, automation, and a shift to a skills-based economy mean that what worked in your 20s might not work in your 40s, 50s, or beyond. But here’s the good news: midlife can be your greatest opportunity to reinvent how you learn, grow, and shape what’s next!

In this episode of Signal Shift, we dive into the future of learning for people 40+: beyond the classroom, beyond college, and beyond career ladders. We explore why data literacy is quickly becoming the new life skill, why midlife is actually a peak time for certain cognitive strengths, and how rethinking education could open up decades of new possibilities.

Whether you’re planning a career pivot, exploring a new purpose, or simply want to future-proof your brain, this conversation is for you.

What does it really mean to travel sustainably? For many destinations, the term has become little more than a marketing label or a tool for greenwashing. In this episode of Signal Shift, Raakhee and Sue sit down with Todd Montgomery, a leading expert and founder of the OSU Sustainable Tourism Lab.

Discover the real-world impacts of over-tourism, from local protests in Venice to residents being priced out of their homes in Hawaii. We explore the "destination life cycle" and the surprising truth behind what makes a community truly sustainable. Todd shares powerful insights on why our travel dollars matter and offers actionable advice on how to be a more responsible tourist.

For travelers who want to make better choices, this conversation is a guide to rethinking how and where you spend your money, why local ownership matters, and how empathy can transform your impact on the places you visit. If you’re serious about traveling responsibly and protecting the future of the destinations you love, this episode offers practical insight and a hopeful path forward.
