BoldTimers is the digital home for every experienced professional who refuses to believe their best work is behind them. Americans 50-plus are more connected than ever (nearly 95 % go online every day), and they control trillions in spending power, yet most media still stereotype them as “past their prime.” We think that’s nonsense.
BoldTimers delivers age-positive journalism, hands-on career tools, and a coach-powered community so you can turn a lifetime of skill into your boldest chapter yet.
Why We Exist
Career guidance for mid-lifers needs a boost.
Age bias is real: Three out of four workers over 50 say age hurts their hiring chances, and 64 % have felt outright discrimination.
Purpose still matters: One-quarter of older workers plan a job change, and another 16 % aim to start a business in the next few years.
Digital-savvy & underserved: Nine in ten adults 50-64 own a smartphone, stream video, and learn online—yet mainstream media keeps talking down to them.
BoldTimers fills that gap with straight-talk reporting, data-backed career coaching, and a peer circle that knows reinvention isn’t a midlife crisis—it’s a competitive advantage.
