E181: Aging Gracefully: From Concerts to Classrooms

Teaching Keating with Weston and Molly Kieschnick

In this week’s episode of Teaching Keating, Molly and Weston take a nostalgic trip from concert crowds to the realities of aging in your 40s. Sparked by a Justin Timberlake show (and a wild Snoop Dogg memory), they dive into what it means to grow older—physically, mentally, and as parents. With humor and honesty, they share stories of feeling old (thanks, kids!), the wisdom of not caring, and why they wouldn’t trade their gray hairs for anything. Whether it’s early date nights or embracing the chaos of parenting, this episode is a relatable reflection on life’s inevitable march forward.

In This Episode:

• Molly and Weston recap the eclectic crowds at Justin Timberlake and Snoop Dogg concerts—and what it says about aging fans.
• Weston’s gym moment that made him face 40, plus Molly’s realization at 29 teaching teens.
• Parenting in dog years: How kids age you faster than time itself.
• The perks of aging: Less F’s to give and more laughs to share. Love a good aging anecdote?
