DISTANCING, WEARING A MASK, THEN
I WONT BE IN THAT AREA.
>> NBCS MORGAN RADFORD WITH
THAT REPORT.
>>> WE WANT TO TURN SOMETHING
WEVE BEEN GEARING UP TOWARDS
FOR SEVERAL WEEKS NOW FROM THE
HALLOWED HALLS OF DEMOCRACY TO
THE FRONTLINES OF THE GLOBAL
PANDEMIC, WOMEN OVER 50, HAVING
THEIR MOMENT.
THATS WHY "FORBES" AND "KNOW
YOUR VALUE" HAVE TEAMED UP FOR A
SPECIAL 50 OVER 50 INITIATIVE TO
CELEBRATE WOMEN WHO HAVE
ACHIEVED NOTABLE SUCCESS AT
MIDLIFE AND WAY BEYOND.
WE SHINED A LIGHT ON WOMEN LIKE
THIS, BRIGHT LIGHT.
REMARKABLE WOMEN FROM CAPITOL
HILL TO OUR SCHOOLS AND
HOSPITALS, ALL THE WAY TO THE
BOARDROOM.
FROM THE WOMEN FIGHTING FOR
HUMAN RIGHTS TO THOSE WHO ARE
CHAMPIONS FOR EDUCATION, WORKING
TO IMPROVE OUR COLLECTIVE MENTAL
HEALTH AND SPEARHEADING THE
COVID VACCINE ROLLOUT.
THE WOMEN FIGHTING TO SAVE THE
ENVIRONMENT, PROTECTING OUR
VOTING RIGHTS, AND PUSHING FOR
IMMIGRATION REFORM.
AND LETS NOT FORGET THOSE
FIGHTING FOR EQUAL PAY OR
PIONEERS IN THE FIGHT FOR CIVIL
RIGHTS.
THE WOMEN WHO ARE BREAKING THE
CORPORATE GLASS CEILING.
IT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE TO GET
ELECTED, SOME OF THEM, AND THEY
RAN FOR PRESIDENT.
FOR THESE DYNAMICS WOMEN,
GROWING OLDER IS ABOUT GETTING
STRONGER, WISER AND BETTER AND
BOLDER.
NEXT WEEK WERE GOING TO MEET
THE INAUGURAL CLASS OF
ENTREPRENEURS, LEADERS AND
CREATORS WHO WILL HEADLINE THE
FIRST 50 OVER 50 LIST FOR
"FORBES," SELECTED FROM OVER
10,000 NOMINEES.
THE WOMEN WEVE BEEN PROFILING
OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS ARE NOT
NECESSARILY ON THE LIST.
THAT WE WILL FIND OUT NEXT WEEK.
LETS BRING IN CHIEF CONTENT
OFFICER OF "FORBES" MEDIA AND
EDITOR OF "FORBES" RANDALL LANE.
RANDALL, I REALLY ENJOYED
WORKING ON THIS WITH YOU.
WEVE LEARNED SO MUCH AND MET SO
MANY AMAZING WOMEN.
TELL ME HOW THE RESPONSE AND HOW
THIS ROLLOUT COMPARES TO THE
ROLLOUT OF SOME OF YOUR MUCH
MORE NOTABLE LISTS.
>> THIS IS IMMEDIATELY ONE OF
OUR MOST NOTABLE LISTS.
THE REACTIONS BEEN INCREDIBLE.
MIKA TALKS SO INCREDIBLY ABOUT
WOMEN HAVING A MOMENT SO NEXT
WEEK WERE GOING TO HAVE SEVERAL
MOMENTS TO CRYSTALLIZE WHATS
GOING ON HERE.
ITS MORE THAN THE ENTHUSIASM,
ITS THE RECOGNITION THAT
FINALLY SOMEBODY IS LOOKING AT
THIS INCREDIBLE AMERICAN
RESOURCE, WHICH IS WOMEN WITH
WISDOM, EXPERIENCE AND NOW
INCREASING TIME AND FLEXIBILITY
TO CREATE GREAT THINGS.
TO HONOR THEM, ITS BEEN VERY
OVERWHELMING.
>> ITS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE
PROCESS FOR ME.
I HAVE A LOT OF WOMEN CONCERNED
ABOUT THEIR AGE OVER THE YEARS
AND BACK WHEN I WAS IN MY 30s
AND 40s, I KNEW WOMEN DIDNT
REALLY WANT TO SHARE THEIR AGE.
IN THIS CASE WE HAD A LOT OF
WOMEN WHO WANTED TO BE ON THE
LIST AND DIDNT QUALIFY BECAUSE
THEY WERE TOO YOUNG.
I ENVISION AND I SEE A NEW
CONFIDENCE IN WOMEN OVER 50, 60
AND 70.
FIRST OF ALL, TRY AND PUSH US
OUT, AND WE WILL RUN YOU OVER.
THEYRE CONFIDENT.
THEYRE NOT TO BE MESSED WITH.
THEY WANT TO GET THE JOB DONE
AND THEYRE HAVING AMAZING
IMPACT.
REALLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN
THIS WORLD, ACROSS ALL PLATFORM
AND INDUSTRIES.
>> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT IMPACT,
WHAT YOURE LOOKING FOR THE
CRITERIA WAS YOU HAD NOT JUST
YOUR POWERFUL BUT GREATEST OVER
50 AND PURPOSE TO WHAT THEY DID
AND SCALE.
AND ALL 50 WE HAVE ON THIS
INAUGURAL LIST, HAVE ALL THREE
OF THOSE AND MORE.
>> YEP.
THE MESSAGE FOR YOUNGER WOMEN,
YOU GOT A LONG RUNWAY.
THANKS TO THE WOMEN WERE GOING
TO MEET NEXT WEEK ON THIS
INCREDIBLE INAUGURAL "FORBES" 50
OVER 50 LIST.
RANDALL LANE, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
WE WILL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK ON
"MORNING JOE" WHEN WE REVEAL THE
"FORBES" 50 OVER 50 LIST,
COMPLETE WITH KEY INTERVIEWS
WITH SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES
WHO ARE ON THE INSPIRING SIDE OF
50.
JOE, IVE HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH
THIS, AS YOU KNOW.
>> I KNOW, ITS REALLY
INSPIRING.
ITS EXTRAORDINARY TOO AND
PEOPLE ASSUME WHEN THEY SEE THE
LIST JUST HOW THE POWER OF THESE
WOMEN OVER 50, SOMETHING EVEN
20, 30 YEARS AGO YOU COULDNT
IMAGINE BUT YOU LOOK AROUND AND
PEOPLE RUNNING OUR ECONOMY,
RUNNING THE ECONOMY ACROSS THE
WORLD, RUNNING THE EU, RUNNING
SO MANY POWERFUL INSTITUTIONS.
ITS REALLY, REALLY INSPIRING.
SO I CANT WAIT AND ITS -- ITS
GOING TO BE AN INTERESTING WEEK
NEXT WEEK, MIKA.
WEVE GOT A LOT TO BE TALKING
ABOUT.
WERE GOING TO SEE WHICH
DIRECTION REPUBLICANS ARE GOING
TO GO, WHETHER THEYRE GOING TO
MAKE A DEAL ON 1/6, WHETHER
THEYRE GOING TO MAKE A DEAL ON
INFRASTRUCTURE, WHETHER THEYRE
GOING TO MAKE A DEAL ON POLICE
REFORM.
IM HOPEFUL THAT BIPARTISANSHIP
MAY BREAK OUT AND YOU MAY HAVE
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
WORKING TOGETHER, DOING WHATS
BEST FOR THIS COUNTRY.
FINGERS CROSSED.
RIGHT NOW IT DOESNT LOOK GREAT
ON A LOT OF FRONTS BUT HOPE
SPRINGS ETERNAL.
DO IT FOR THE COUNTRY, COUNTRY
OVER PARTY.
>> WE WILL BE WORKING MONDAY
MORNING, SO WE WILL SEE YOU
THERE AND ALSO IM HEADING TO
NEW YORK.
IM KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
