Listen Later

What happens when a daughter launches a publishing company… and her 82-year-old mother becomes her indispensable right hand?

In this heartfelt and surprisingly funny episode, Ron sits down with Stephanie Larkin, founder of Red Penguin Books, and her mother Christine Rogeri, an 82-year-old tech-savvy powerhouse who helps run the business — publishing books, managing websites, wrangling social media, and breaking stereotypes every step of the way. Stephanie shares the unusual origin story behind Red Penguin Books — from a nonprofit crisis to coloring penguins red with a Sharpie — and how her company helps aspiring authors bring their book dreams to life. Christine talks about joining the company later in life, mastering new technology, and proving that “80 is the new 60.” This episode explores:
  • Reinventing yourself at any age
  • The joys and challenges of running a family business
  • The deeply personal process of helping authors become published
  • The power of creativity, community, and purpose in later life
A warm, funny, inspiring conversation that reminds us: it’s never too late to start a new chapter.
