This week on Eastern Standard: 

You're in your 30s or 40s and are too busy with life itself to give much thought to what it will be like to experience life as a senior. And then, the next thing you know, you're there, your mind struggling to recognize the face staring back at you in the mirror. It happens to us all and in service to the inevitable, we begin a new series about “Healthy Aging” co-hosted by Bill Goodman and primary care physician Dr. Jeff Foxx. Their guest is Dana Smith, who writes about aging issues for the New York Times.

Although a young adult, Emilee Hackney has “had a life.” Going from a hard-scrabble, Pentecostal upbringing in the mountains of western Virginia to an education in one of the nation’s premier institutions of higher learning: Harvard. And there is so much more to her story. It unfolds in her NY Times best-seller debut memoir: "All That’s Unseen." Emilee joins us to share her story.

Louisville attorney Brian Haara is the author of "Bourbon Justice: How Whiskey Law Shaped America." It’s a book about bourbon, certainly—but it is also a book about contracts, trademarks, regulation, consumer protection, taxation, fraud, and the ways a young nation tried to define fairness in the marketplace.
