#AGENTIC50 — The Pioneers Podcast

AARP Exposed the Problem. We Drive the Solution.

AARP Exposed the Problem. We Drive the Solution. AARP spent three years documenting how America is failing adults 50+ with technology. The research is airtight. But research doesn't train people. Programs do. In this episode, Professor Brian McKinney breaks down the data AARP published and what 50+TechBridge is doing about it on the ground. The numbers: - 47% of workers 50+ want AI training. Only 10% got it. - AI adoption among 50+ doubled in two years. Zero support. - $7.7 billion lost to fraud. Up 60% in one year. - 60% say tech isn't designed for them. Three years, no change. - 19 million adults 65+ lack broadband. Federal programs gone. - 40% are lonely despite 9 in 10 being on social media. - 63 million caregivers. Zero training budget. 50+TechBridge is the grassroots community development response -- a hybrid tech-and-touch approach to digital inclusion. We show up at senior centers, churches, libraries, and kitchen tables. 3X industry completion rate. AARP exposed the problem. We drive the solution. This is Part 1 of a 10-part series: What AARP Found But Nobody Told You.

Influence Is Not Who You Know — It's Who You Help

Influence is not who you know. It's who you help. In this episode, Professor Brian McKinney breaks down why we got influence wrong -- and why he built 50+TechBridge to fix it. Grandparents hold $76 trillion in wealth. They funded the down payment. They covered the tuition. They bailed out the family when the bottom fell out. And the world is telling them they're done. That's a lie. Nobody was coming to help adults 50+ learn AI. So we stopped waiting and started teaching. Senior centers. Libraries. Churches. Kitchen tables. 347 Pioneers and counting. Bring 50+TechBridge to your community. Sponsors cover the session so learners never pay. $500 covers one Lunch and Learn for 20 Pioneers.
