If You Saw My Video… You Already Know
They Say We’re Too Old to Get Hired.
That video has been seen over 6 million times.
The comments are full of people saying, “This is me too.”
I’m 58. I’ve had a career, success, and a résumé that should open doors.
And yet… I may never work for anyone again.
Not because I can’t do the work, but because ageism is real.
It’s frustrating. It’s unfair. It sucks. And it’s not just happening to me.
Many of us are frustrated and looking for direction and answers.
So I decided to do something about it.
I wanted to create a place where we can figure this out together.
Why I’m Starting This
For some of us, we may not work for someone else again — and that’s not the end of the road.
It just means we have to take control of how we earn, protect our peace of mind, and find people, companies, or clients who value our experience, our age, and everything we have to offer.
This is about:
Income — whether it’s a job, a side hustle, or building your own thing.
Security — knowing you have options and aren’t at the mercy of someone else’s decision.
Support — being connected with people who understand the mental and financial stress this stage of life brings.
No hype. No miracle promises. Just a practical, supportive community of people who’ve been there and are figuring it out too.
Who This Is For
If you’ve ever been told (or made to feel) you’re “too old,” you belong here.
This community is for people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who:
Have been pushed aside, passed over, or ignored because of their age.
Are tired of sending résumés into a black hole.
Want real, doable ways to make money — whether that’s a job, a side hustle, or working for yourself.
Are dealing with the mental and financial pressure of figuring out what’s next.
Value being around people who get it and will share what’s actually working.
It doesn’t matter your background, income, or education.
Ageism happens across the board — and so do opportunity, connection, and reinvention.
What You Get Inside The Community
This isn’t just about finding a job! It’s about controlling your income, your future, and your peace of mind as you get older — whether that’s working for someone else, building a side hustle, freelancing, or creating something entirely your own.
Everything inside is designed to help you earn, stay relevant, and connect with people, companies, or clients who value your experience and what you bring to the table.

The Deal
For the first wave of founders only, you can get lifetime access for $10. One time! No monthly fees for founding members.
Why Charge Anything at All?
If I made this free, most people wouldn’t value it or show up.
Ten bucks isn’t about me getting rich — it’s about you having some skin in the game.
It’s a one-time commitment that says, “I’m in. I’m serious about figuring this out.”
And because it’s paid (even a little), I can keep this space private, focused, and full of people who actually want to help and be helped — not just random internet noise.
Why Join Now
This $10 lifetime access deal is only for the first wave of founding members.
Once we’re up and running, new members will pay monthly.
If you’ve felt invisible, overlooked, or stuck — this is the easiest “yes” you’ll make all year.
One Last Thing
This is about creating a space we don’t have anywhere else — where we can share real solutions, connect with people who understand, and figure out what’s next.
If that’s you… I’ll see you inside.

Creator, Advanced Adulting
👊🤷♂️ What is all of this Advanced Adulting about anyway? If you’re in midlife (or beyond) and navigating this stage of life — “the real stuff we all encounter and were never prepared for, like getting older, career pivots, aging parents, relationships, or just trying to keep it together and figure out YOUR next move when life throws you something you never saw coming… 🧠 You’re not alone. You’re my people. 🙌 I’m trying to figure it all out just like YOU. Join me here and on YouTube for content and conversations for grown-ass adults trying to navigate midlife AND BEYOND.
🅱️ Who the F is this guy? | I’m Bradley Richardson, a fifty-something, 5 x best-selling author and the creator of Advanced Adulting, a platform dedicated to helping "grown-a**" adults (45-65+) navigate the shifts and challenges of midlife and BEYOND. I'm the author of one of the first books for Gen X back in the 90s—when I had hair and we all were thinner and called "slackers." I've been recognized as a leading voice in midlife personal development and Gen X. I've been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, Good Morning America, NPR, and more. Through Advanced Adulting, I focus on creating impactful NO 🚫🐂💩content and conversations for this stage of life. I also advise and consult brands that serve and market to the 45-65 demographic. I'm HIGHLY allergic to fake and overly curated or self-proclaimed “thought leaders,” I'm not afraid to say the quiet parts out loud, sometimes VERY loudly. If calling yourself a queenager and shaking your butt on TikTok OR sitting on a beach with a celebrity shaman and exploring your midlife "chrysalis" after your 8 figure 💰exit is your idea of navigating this stage of life... I'M NOT YOUR GUY! I keep it REAL and raw... the good parts and the tough stuff... but most of all, I try to keep it relatable because regardless of your background, what you do, how much money you have, or where in the world you live... we are ALL trying to get through this... and we have more in common than you realize. I'm 58, former executive recruiter, father of 3 grown kids, 5th generation Texan, and now I live in San Diego with a beautiful woman and our two dogs. Don't tell anyone, but the pitbull is my favorite.
