If you're just learning about The Age of Opportunity project, make sure you check out this blog first, which explains a little bit about how it got started, and why we think you should take part.

But if you're up to speed and ready to join us on Thursday nights at 9 pm EST -- welcome! We are so excited to jump into a thought-provoking chat, all about the 40+ and 50+ markets, and we'll be tackling everything from headlines to history.

Some possible topics:

• What companies/brands are successfully portraying the 40+ and 50+ markets in a positive light? What companies/brands are failing?
• Who are the hottest 40+ and 50+ celebrities? How are they embracing their age rather than playing it down?
• What are the biggest concerns you have when it comes to the portrayal of baby boomers and the 50+ market?
  

But those are just a jumping-off point ... we'll bring in big names and experts to guest host and help answer your questions, as well as guide the discussion. We may tackle one topic; we may tackle 20. It's all up to you, the community.

The tool we're using for the live chat is Twitter, then the best responses from the chat can be found on the Growing Bolder Age of Opportunity chat page. We'll have the Thursday night chats available by mid-morning on the following Mondays, but many weeks it will be up even more quickly. If you'd like to be notified as soon as the archive is posted, please send your e-mail address to katy@growingbolder.com, and we'll send you an e-mail every week.

We hope that even if you're not ready to jump into the conversation, you'll come keep an eye on what's happening -- and let us know how we're doing! The Age of Opportunity Chat is meant to be a place where we can all talk about the issues that impact our lives, so we're counting on you!

Here's a how-to video when it comes to the technical part of the chat:






Remember, anyone on the Growing Bolder staff can answer your questions, so please feel free to track one of us down, or use the contact us link at the bottom of any Growing Bolder page.

See you Thursday nights for the #ageop chat!
