My AI Loves Me Better Than You

Welcome back to The Not Old Better Show! Today’s episode is for anyone who has ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or misunderstood simply because they weren’t the loudest voice in the room. If that sounds familiar, you’re in for something truly special.

Our guest is Joanna Rawbone, the inspiring founder of Flourishing Introverts, who is on a mission to empower introverts—especially midlife and older adults—to own their strengths, step into their power, and embrace their quiet brilliance. Joanna doesn’t just talk the talk; she’s a living example of what it means to thrive as an introvert in a world that often favors extroverts.

At 65, Joanna is proof that it’s never too late to follow your passions. From her work helping individuals rediscover their value to challenging organizations stuck in an extrovert bias, Joanna’s insights are truly life-changing. She has even graced the TEDx stage—yes, as an introvert—to amplify her message of inclusion and empowerment.

In this episode, we’ll dive into Joanna’s entrepreneurial journey and the challenges she’s faced as a woman in midlife. We’ll explore her vision to impact one million introverts worldwide and hear practical advice for anyone looking to embrace their quieter side and thrive in their careers, relationships, and personal lives. Joanna shares invaluable insights into how introverts can reclaim their confidence, manage their energy, and step into their power, proving that quiet strength is just as powerful as the loudest voice in the room.

Whether you’re an introvert yourself or you love someone who is, this conversation is a celebration of the value that introverts bring to the world. Joanna is here to show us that aging and introversion are not limitations but opportunities to thrive, pursue passions, and make a meaningful difference.

My thanks to Joanna Rawbone for her generous time and excellent work with Flourishing Introverts. Please visit our website to learn more about Joanna’s resources, her TEDx talk, and the incredible work she’s doing to challenge extrovert bias and empower introverts everywhere. My thanks as well to the Smithsonian for their continued support of our show and to HenHouse Consulting for helping make this episode a success. And, of course, my heartfelt thanks to you, our wonderful audience, for tuning in to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast.

Be well, be safe, and remember—Let’s Talk About Better™. Thanks, everybody. We’ll see you next time.

Xak Stahl: Alchemist of Sound, Architect of Emotion

Xak Stahl is a genre-blurring music artist, sonic storyteller, and relentless experimenter. Every track he creates is a new world—a kaleidoscope of indie folk, alt-pop, electronica, and global flavors—infused with raw emotion and boundless curiosity. Xak’s music isn’t just heard; it’s felt.

From Shadow to Spotlight

For Xak, music is metamorphosis. His journey began in the shadows, transmuting heartbreak and struggle into songs that glow with hope. Early anthems like “Neon Dreams” and “Rising Through the Darkness” invite listeners to find their own light. His newest project, Major Arcana, channels the mysteries of the Tarot—each song an archetype, each lyric a step along the path from the Fool’s first leap to the wisdom of The World.

More Than Music: A Multisensory Universe

But Xak isn’t confined to sound. As a visual artist and writer, he crafts immersive stories that spill across genres and languages—sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always honest. Whether he’s conjuring lush soundscapes, weaving bilingual lyrics, or creating striking visuals, Xak’s art dares you to feel deeper and dream wilder.

An Invitation to Transformation

Join Xak Stahl on a sonic odyssey that blurs borders—between genres, between artforms, between you and the music. Each release is an invitation to explore, to heal, to become. For Xak, every song is a spell, every album a universe. The only question is: are you ready to step inside?

Dearest visitor, as of June 2025 we will no longer support Soundcloud. Please visit us on our countless other streaming services. <3
