Guests speak on a broad range of topics, including religion, culture, race, ethnicity, disability, and generational issues.https://foryourlisteningpleasure.captivate.fmtrueepisodicnopodcastJacynth Bassett: Challenging the Narrative on Aging, Relevance, and PowerJacynth Bassett: Challenging the Narrative on Aging, Relevance, and PowerJacynth Bassett is redefining what it means to age and challenging a system that profits from our fear of it. As the founder of Ageism Is Never in Style, she’s built a global movement dedicated to dismantling age bias and reshaping how we think about identity, beauty, and worth at every stage of life. What started as a deeply personal observation, watching her mother become increasingly invisible in spaces like fashion, has evolved into a powerful platform spanning community, consulting, and cultural change.

In this conversation, we unpack how ageism shows up everywhere, from the workplace to healthcare to the way we see ourselves in the mirror, and why women, in particular, are never considered the “right” age. We get into the concept of age confidence, the impact of social media and the anti-aging industry, and how internalized bias shapes our decisions more than we realize. Jacynth also breaks down why generational division is often manufactured, how these narratives are reinforced from childhood, and what it actually takes to unlearn them. This episode is about identity, power, and perception, but more than anything, it’s about reclaiming the right to exist fully, confidently, and unapologetically at every age.

But what makes Luke’s story so compelling isn’t just where he started; it’s how his perspective evolved. From working inside the system to questioning it, from navigating his identity as a gay man within conservative spaces to witnessing pivotal moments in recent history firsthand, Luke’s journey is one of reckoning, growth, and ultimately, choosing to think independently.

In this conversation, we talk about what it’s really like behind the scenes on Capitol Hill, the tension between personal values and political environments, and the moments that force you to reevaluate everything you thought you knew. We also get into where the country is today, why so many people feel disconnected from politics, and what it means to step away and rebuild a life rooted in purpose, stability, and truth.

This is a conversation about identity, courage, and what happens when you decide to see things for yourself.

Because Melissa’s career isn’t just about radio. It’s about what it takes to build a lane in a male-dominated industry, to go from being expected to be the “sidekick” to becoming the one driving the show, and to do it with warmth, humor, and that rare ability to make listeners feel like they’re talking to a friend.

We’re getting into her early days growing up, finding her voice, and the moment she heard a woman on morning radio and thought, that’s it… that’s what I’m meant to do. We talk about the behind-the-scenes grind people don’t see, the power of learning every button and every board so no one can ever tell you you don’t belong in the main seat, and what it’s like to hold space for a city when listeners call in with their funniest stories… and their heaviest ones.

In February 2023, their family was forever changed when their beloved daughter and sister, Lauren, died by suicide. In her memory, and in honor of the millions of lives lost each year, they created LIGHTER, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and providing support for mental health.

Currently, they are leading the "Light in the Dark" fundraiser, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Lauren Lighter Fund. This fund directly supports NAMI Chicago, a local mental health organization, as well as the Douglas Mobile Outreach Program, expanding access to resources and care.

At its heart, LIGHTER is a candle project designed to bring light and comfort into people’s homes while honoring those who have struggled in darkness. Since its launch in August 2023, LIGHTER has raised over $1 million for mental health foundations in both Montreal and Chicago, offering communities not only resources but also awareness, compassion, and hope.

This episode serves as a reminder that we are all fighting battles that are unseen. I hope you find strength in Melani and Lenny’s story, and if you’re able, please consider supporting the Light in the Dark fundraiser with a donation.

My Dad, Ross Waxman, passed away unexpectedly on November 15, 2024, and today, January 23rd, would have been his 67th birthday. My dad was my biggest cheerleader and unwavering supporter. Whenever I came up with business ideas or creative projects, he backed me 100% without hesitation. One passion project he encouraged me to pursue was creating a podcast dedicated to empathy, diversity, and real people's stories. Initially, the podcast was planned under a different name with two co-hosts, and we conducted practice interviews with family and friends before launching. One of those practice episodes was with my dad, where he shared stories about his life. This unedited conversation is a treasure, capturing his voice and essence, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have it. This recording only shows a glimpse of the amazing person my Dad was. He was truly the coolest person I knew. He always taught me to do the right thing, treat people with respect, help others when I can, and try to live my life with zero regrets. I miss him every day, and I know my life will never be the same without him. I am honored to share a bit of my Dad with you. Please enjoy this meaningful episode.

Initially, the podcast was planned under a different name with two co-hosts, and we conducted practice interviews with family and friends before launching. One of those practice episodes was with my dad, where he shared stories about his life. This unedited conversation is a treasure, capturing his voice and essence, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have it. This recording only shows a glimpse of the amazing person my Dad was. He was truly the coolest person I knew. He always taught me to do the right thing, treat people with respect, help others when I can, and try to live my life with zero regrets. I miss him every day, and I know my life will never be the same without him. I am honored to share a bit of my Dad with you. Please enjoy this meaningful episode.

Her latest book, "My Own Magic: A Reappearing Act," candidly navigates her travels and the personal journey through a marriage breakdown and, ultimately, how losing everything led her to find her own happiness and magic.

We also discuss how her adorable meet-cute in Paris led her to find love and happiness again and the screenplay adaptation of the book, "Live Your Life: My Story of Loving and Losing Nick Cordero," she co-wrote with her sister.

She excels in navigating regulatory challenges and ensuring the best outcomes for businesses and employees. In 2021, while working at WWE, she received the FEM Americas "2021 Expatriate Management & Mobility Award for Outstanding Corporate Agility & Crisis Management."

What truly inspires me about Emily is her resilience. Despite her impressive professional achievements, she faced a Breast Cancer diagnosis in her late thirties, leading to medically induced menopause and, ultimately, a hysterectomy. Throughout this challenging journey, Emily continued to excel at work, winning awards, all while being a dedicated mother to two young kids and a supportive wife.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a profoundly personal experience for many. Some celebrate with pink, some observe quietly, and some may feel a range of emotions. It's crucial to remember that Breast Cancer impacts one in eight women in the US each year and 2.3 million women worldwide. Each woman's journey is unique.

His first film, Wordplay, profiled New York Times crossword editor Will Shortz and premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. Then in 2016, Patrick directed ESPN" s 30 for 30 film, "Catholics vs. Convicts," about the October 15, 1988, Notre Dame-Miami football game. In this episode, we discuss Patrick's latest film, "The Loyola Project," about the historic 1963 Loyola Ramblers men's basketball national championship team and the racial barriers they faced and overcame on their incredible journey. I loved how Patricks weaves together actual footage and modern-day interviews to tell this captivating story, which continues to inspire the fight for equality.

Kam grew up on Chicago’s South Side, got his Bachelor’s degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and his law degree from DePaul University. His previous experiences include working as an aid for Senator Dick Durbin and working for Chicago Cubs, focusing on neighborhood relations. Currently, he serves as a Democratic member of the Illinois House of Representatives from the 26th district. 

Kam defines himself as a self-styled progressive Democrat. In this interview, I talk to Kam about his plan to combat the rising crime in the city, CPS and education, mental health, and his plan to keep big businesses in Chicago. As a candidate, he has been steadily rolling out policy proposals, including improving CTA service and safety, boosting the city’s environmental commitments, and filling vacancies at the Chicago Police Department.

Practicing as a painter, his work reflects the humor and rejection that comes with having a studio practice. He explores themes of modern society, art history, pop culture, sports, labor, and even his own personal history. I came upon Eric's Instagram and instantly felt connected to his work. His paintings made me feel emotionally exposed as they engage in our romantic fantasies and are relatable for anyone who has fallen in or out of love, dealt with loss, and struggles with their flaws.

He spent 20 years as a senior human space flight engineer at NASA Johnson Space Center, supporting over 50 Space Shuttle missions, including the Space Shuttle Columbia accident investigation. If that wasn't impressive enough, KC has spent over 20+ years in the United States Navy as a Surface Warfare Officer, including deployments to Iraq looking for those missing-in-action and Afghanistan with Naval Special Warfare.

His NASA and US Navy life-changing events, challenges, and experiences uniquely prepared KC to discover his life's true purpose ― to improve the odds and inspire others to seek and achieve their dreams by crushing inequities ― starting with student-athletes. KC is the founder and owner of Athlete Foundry, a company with a suite of products to lift and positively impact pre-college student-athletes & families across the country. What I love about KC is that he is unapologetically obsessed with diversity, inclusion, and gender equality.

As a first-generation kid growing up in London, Sam was always interested in his Thai-Chinese heritage and saw Monks as figures to draw cultural knowledge from. This interest ultimately led him to step away from his career on the West End Stage and travel to Thailand to become a Buddhist Monk. That experience helped Sam understand more about himself, the power of silence, and the importance of showing up with positivity. All of which he took into his next endeavor as a fitness instructor, and after eight years of teaching spin classes, he received a message from Peloton. Sam is known for the nurturing and supportive atmosphere he creates on the bike, along with the fantastic playlists and nuggets of wisdom throughout class. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did and check out Sam Yo's classes on Peloton.

Jason achieved international stardom at a young age, known for his craftsmanship on the ice. But he says no program has meant more to him than the one he took to the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games: a free skate routine to the soundtrack of “Schindler’s List.”

In this conversation, the Highland Park, Illinois native discussed how he faced a significant roadblock in 2018, failing to qualify for the Olympics, feeling burned out, and even contemplated retiring at age 23. After some time, Jason decided to commit himself to the sport and prioritized performing for his happiness, not to please outside forces. That dedication and mindset helped Jason reach his goal of attending the 2022 Olympics, where he earned a personal best in the free skate and short program.

Linda's art is known nationally as she explores textures, patterns, and layers mimicked in nature and urban landscapes while using color as her muse. Linda's art examines themes of compulsion, obsession, and addiction - through a lens of feminism, pop culture, and childhood sentiment. Her inability to discard any leftover materials traces back to her deeply personal issues with a compulsive overeating disorder that often caused her to hoard and binge junk food in a secretive manner. Linda's art is stunning and moving, and ultimately, Linda's work gives form to the delicate alchemy of humanity.

She's the author or co-author of eight books, including Her New York Times bestseller, "Unbroken Brain," where she uses her own story of recovery from heroin and cocaine addiction to explore how reframing addiction as a developmental disorder could revolutionize prevention treatment and policy. Two other of her bestselling books include "The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog" and "Born for Love: Why Empathy Is Essential— and Endangered," both co-written with a leading child psychiatrist and trauma expert Dr. Bruce D. Perry.

Maia is also a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times and recently released her latest book, “Undoing Drugs: The Untold Story of Harm Reduction and the Future of Addiction,” the first history of the harm reduction movement.

I am honored to have Maia join me for this conversation. We talk about tolerance, addiction, dependency, empathy, trauma, harm reduction, and the stigma of being an addict.
