After a lifetime of experience, what perspectives hold true? What opinions and beliefs have been forged over decades of lessons learned? What do people know for sure when they are 80, or 90?

Join Stacy Raine as she talks to people who make up our oldest generations and explores their lives and the lessons they learned along the way. 

In a world that often feels increasingly fragmented and fast-paced, there’s something particularly heartening about hearing directly from people who have witnessed the world change up close and personal – people who can remind us of where we’ve been and how far we’ve come. 

If you want a lifetime of wisdom, welcome to Wisdom of Age.
