In this engaging episode of Your Social Media Compass, our host Jaclyn Baker sits down with Stephen, a lively 71-year-old YouTuber from just west of Calgary, Alberta. Stephen, who guides others on “aging confidently” through a concept he calls the “legacy lens,” shares his mission to help older adults live extraordinary lives by embracing their wisdom and becoming mentors. He introduces the “International Mentoring Community” as a space where individuals can learn how to share their knowledge and skills, enriching both themselves and those around them.
Stephen talks about his journey on social media, particularly YouTube, where he is experimenting with different content formats. From long-form videos to shorts, he is exploring new ways to engage viewers, and he offers tips for authentic, confident content creation. He emphasizes the importance of “VAMP”—Voice, Authenticity, Mastery, and Position—as keys to success in both personal and professional growth.
The episode takes a humorous turn as Stephen discusses his signature style—wearing hoodies in his videos for comfort. He touches on how working from home has shifted our perceptions of “work attire” and how he enjoys supporting other creators by buying their branded apparel.
In the closing moments, Stephen leaves listeners with timeless advice, emphasizing the importance of curiosity, staying connected, and embracing each day with purpose. This episode is a heartfelt look at legacy, mentorship, and living life fully, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in personal growth and meaningful connections.
