In this Unfiltered Friday episode of The Men of the House Podcast, Richard Craft opens up about a topic most people avoid — aging — and why the world’s obsession with youth often misses the bigger truth: there’s power, purpose, and wisdom in growing older.

Drawing from his own experiences in healthcare and caregiving, Richard explores how different cultures around the world view aging — from the Western belief in “aging as decline” to Eastern traditions that honor elders as sources of wisdom and stability. He reflects on what it means to stay connected, feel seen, and continue to contribute to the world after 50.

This is a raw, honest look at how we define value — not by productivity, but by perspective and presence. Richard also shares a glimpse into his next chapter: finding ways to serve and connect with the aging population beyond the medical system, where humanity and compassion still matter most.

👉 Listen if you’ve ever wondered:

  • How do different cultures see aging and wisdom?
  • Why does our society push older people aside instead of pulling them in?
  • What does it really mean to age with purpose?
  • How can we find meaning and connection in our “second act”?

If you’ve ever felt like your best days are behind you, this conversation will remind you that you still have something to teach, something to give, and someone who needs to hear it.
