Hit fifty-seven to sixty-two, lose your job – expect free time.
Nope. We’re slammed building Comeback Cast’s Substack and YouTube for Thanksgiving 2025 launch. Employers ghost you, scared of age, scared of experience and scared that at our age, the familiar threats employers dole out to keep everyone in line, no longer work.
“Too qualified,” they sneer. What they mean is “too old.”
Brian Slowik, sixty-two, ex-go-to-market pro at fintech giants – nixed for demanding too much. Bill Podojil, sixty-two, advisor and novelist with three published books and two more on the way, same thing. Burke Rice, fifty-seven, iced as an overpaid relic.
Society yells, “Retire.” First of all, it’s nobody’s decision but ours and we have a lot of life, creativity and passion left to fuel us for the next three decades.
Three Substack posts deep, mics half-set, corporation filed. Ageism? Lies. Brian hooks marketing magic into comeback vibes. Bill writes raw pieces – readers feel it. Burke, tech-shy, fumbles but laughs; teaser cut. AI? We feared it’d steal gigs. Nope – it’s a cheat code. Brian briefs campaigns; Bill refines drafts; Burke shrinks files. Start small: one prompt, win big.
Platforms ignore age. YouTube drops Thanksgiving. We’re not out – we’re just starting. Nothing Off-Limits – Because AI Said So
Picture Saturday: Bill, surrounded by falling autumn leaves in Ohio, a modern-day Hemingway with a ChatGPT+ subscription. Burke on a windy Oregon bluff – Waves vs. Premiere – fixed by “please help.” Brian, buzzing down a Florida highway, his Tesla doing the driving while using Elon’s Grok to compose this post.
We’re three guys, fifty-seven to sixty-two, The West coast to the Gulf coast to the North coast of the Great Lakes. AI stitches us together – one prompt. Burke swore no video skill; now transitions fly. Bill’s novel? Half-done by nine. I get thumb-stoppers: Old Enough to Hack AI. Launching Thanksgiving – subscribe.
No commute. Creativity explodes. Roadblocks? Dissolved. We’re not waiting, we’re launching our Comeback. Tesla Self-Driving Is My New Boss (And Why Corporations Hate It)
Brian’s Florida highway. Hands off, Tesla purring. Bill’s crunching through orange leaves, dictating stories and dreaming of more. Burke’s Oregon beach – waves louder than errors, but prompt fixes cuts. Me? Palm trees, voice-to-text – this post composed before the off-ramp.
They said that we were overqualified, and they were right. We never imagined this: Cortex spots cops. Hardware four-sharp cams. Grok outlines mid-drive. No meetings. Corporations preach AI? Then leash it – one Copilot, pre-approved prompts. Don’t riff, they say. Tesla? Grok runs free – no IT.
We’re freer on I-95 than behind corporate badges. Supervised? Four times safer than stats. Subscribe to our Comeback Cast substack now. By Thanksgiving, we’re in full color on YouTube live. Hands off, brains on full, adventure awaits.
See you on the road.
