258. Two Women, Four Decades Apart: The Powerful Lessons We’re Taking Into 2026

Welcome to The 80/40 Factor with Diane Gilman and Nyna Gilpin, a podcast bridging two generations of experience and ambition. In this New Year’s episode, the duo reflects on 2025’s biggest lessons, surprises, and purchases—and what they’re both leaving behind as they step into 2026.

From Diane’s reflections on time, purpose, and legacy to Nyna’s drive to trust her instincts and silence self-doubt, this conversation digs deep into what it means to start fresh—at any age. The two unpack how aging, ambition, and authenticity intersect in a digital-first world; how breast cancer, career pivots, and podcasting all shape perspective; and why learning to dare to dream matters more now than ever.
