Retire With Purpose - The Retirement Podcast

Today, I’m talking to Dr. Tom Kamber. Tom is the founder and executive director of Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) and Senior Planet. He is a leading expert on aging and technology and has provided award-winning programs for older adults across America.  Tom has taught courses on technology, urban studies, and philanthropy at Columbia University, is widely published in professional and academic journals, and is a co-founder of the Afro-Latin Jazz Alliance which has won multiple Grammy awards. In our conversation, Tom and I dig into common questions retirees have about technology, how to leverage technology like AI to get more out of retirement, and some best practices to protect yourself from fraud and identity theft. In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: Why people are so tired of talking about legacy–and why it’s making an impact that really matters.  The encounter with an 80-year-old woman who fell in love with dance later in life that radically shifted Tom’s perspective and practice.  How to address older people’s anxieties, resistance, or discomfort around new technology–and how Tom gets people over the age of 50 to participate in the Senior Planet community. Why Tom believes AI has huge potential to empower seniors. How to deal with common scams including identity theft, gift card fraud, stolen passwords, and relatives who are supposedly in trouble.  Our Market Outlook Webinar is live!
