Meet the Host
Carol Chiarito public speaker, financial consultant, author, podcaster, wife, mom, grandma and great grandma! (not necessarily in that order!)
As a former teacher and coach, education is the center of all of her businesses. However, in 2009 Carol began looking for elder care for her mother and found the experience harrowing. Since then she has been working with seniors and their families to create a plan for aging, senior living and retirement.
Through the experiences with her Mom, Carol started the non-profit "The Love A Senior Company" to bring awareness to seniors of products, ideas, technology, and where to find the answers to the questions everyone has as well as to teach the celebration of aging.
The popular "Love A Senior Day" (available for any city to bring to town to create a celebration for the community's seniors), as well as the "Senior Moments" Podcast, the Love a Senior Pen Pal program and our Love A Senior Center Projects are all a part of the workings of The Love A Senior Company.
Carol is active on many boards in her community, statewide, and nationally. She is a past President of the local Kiwanis Club of Pueblo, and is now serving as Governor Elect of the Rocky Mountain District of Kiwanis. Carol has served on the National Governance Committee board for the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA), as well as many positions with Million Dollar Round Table Foundation, and served on the foundation of the local Parkview Hospital.
Carol also hosts a podcast about financially aging, called "JubilAge", with special guests offering tips and ideas about finances as we age. It can be found wherever you get your podcasts.
Carol and her husband Rick have five children and eleven grandchildren. In her free time she enjoys traveling, snowmobiling, four wheeling, and visiting the children, and grandchildren.
