In this podcast excerpt, Natalie Fisher addresses listeners' concerns about being perceived as too old or too young in professional contexts. She argues that focusing on helping others, conveying ideas, and solving problems shifts attention away from age-related judgments. By adopting a mindset centered on serving and supporting others, individuals can overcome biases about age and achieve success, as the perception of age becomes irrelevant when the focus is on value creation.

Chapters

They're thinking about how to help more people. They're thinking about how to convey ideas in a better way. They're thinking about new ideas. They're thinking about how to help other people become more successful. They are helping, right? Their mindset is focused on something other than themselves or how they look, right? And that is what's going to make you successful too. So if right now you might be thinking, I look too old, I look too young, maybe people are not going to take me seriously. And it goes both ways, right? So I've had people say, people think I'm too old, they're not going to want to hire me. Or people think I'm too young, they're not going to take me seriously, right? But if you are focusing on helping them, caring about them, working on solving problems for people, your age isn't going to matter.
