About Ande Lyons

"Just because the clock strikes midnight on a milestone age, doesn't mean it's time for you to retire and slink off to the sidelines. Pastures are for horses, not humans. Don't let those internalized ageist beliefs prevent you from staying visible, connected, viable, and pursuing new dreams and opportunities. Get out there and keep glowing!"

Welcome to my world of entrepreneurial passion, pro-aging advocacy, and podcasting prowess!

I'm 70 and soaring!

A four-time founder, longtime podcaster, community builder, and age disruptor, I've been creating conversations and building connections since 2012, and I'm still curious about what's possible, what's next, and who I haven't met yet.

I'm the host of Don't Be Caged By Your Age, a pro-aging interview-style podcast celebrating people who are challenging age-related expectations and thriving after 65. Through conversations with inspiring individuals who are continuing to explore, create, reinvent, and make their mark, I aim to help dissolve internalized ageism and open up new possibilities for staying connected, visible, and relevant at every stage of life. Tune in to find out how folks 65+ are fueling their passion, purpose and pocketbooks!

I'm also the founder of the New England Podcasters Group, a community I created to bring independent podcast creators together to connect, collaborate, share ideas, and grow. Since May 2024, we've been gathering monthly for in-person meetups across New England, because I believe podcasting is better together and that meaningful relationships are built when people come together.

At the heart of everything I do is a love of connecting people, sparking conversations, and creating spaces where new ideas can take flight. Whether I'm behind a microphone, bringing a roomful of podcasters together, or challenging outdated ideas about aging, I'm here to remind people that we're not done growing and glowing.

And I'm not done yet!
