Mastering something new brings powerful mental and physical benefits," says award-winning journalist and author Gwendolyn Bounds. In this conversation she explores the transformative power of reinvention at any age. Bounds shares how a simple question at a dinner party led her, in her midforties, from a sedentary career in news to becoming a world championship competitor in the intense sport of obstacle course racing. Drawing from her new book, Not Too Late: The Power of Pushing Limits at Any Age, she offers listeners practical tools and expert insights for embracing bold new challenges, reigniting passion, and rewriting the narrative of midlife and beyond.
