Cocktails and TableTalk

Today, I'm talking about something I've recently started using called ChatGPT Work, and how it's helping me manage my podcasts and stay on top of all the AI information coming my way.

Welcome to TableTalk Takeaways. This is where I take a few minutes to share something I've learned about business, entrepreneurship, technology, or just life that I think might be useful to somebody else.

And this week, I want to talk about something I've been using that has legitimately saved me a lot of time.

I cloned my voice.

Now, before you start thinking I've created some AI version of myself that's going to host CockTails & TableTalk while I'm sitting somewhere drinking whiskey, we're not quite there yet. Though that doesn't sound half bad.

In this episode of Cocktails and Table Talk, we’re talking about entrepreneurship after 50—the lessons we wish we had known, the wisdom we want to pass on to our grandchildren, and what it truly means to build something that lasts.

Legacy isn’t only about the money or possessions we leave behind. It’s also the courage we demonstrate, the knowledge we share, the people we help, and the example we set.

Starting later doesn’t mean you’re behind. It means you’re building with a lifetime of experience—and planting seeds that future generations may one day enjoy.

Today, I want to challenge something we've been told for most of our lives.

We've been taught to work hard, and save for retirement, and finally enjoy life.

But what if retirement isn't the finish line?

What if it's actually the starting line?

What if the next chapter of your life isn't about slowing down—but about building something that creates opportunity for your children, your grandchildren, and generations you've never met?

This episodes conversation is about creating family-oriented businesses, turning life experience into transferable assets, and using entrepreneurship as a form of mentorship.

Today, I want to talk about something a lot of entrepreneurs don't say out loud: This grind called ENTREPRENEURSHIP!! It’s not always glamorous. And  we’re unpacking some of the things I have learned on this road called Entrepreneurship.

I’ve been trying to be better tomorrow than I was today, but lately it has not been working.

I have been thinking of being an entrepreneur ever since i was a kid, from the lemonade stand, news paper route, metal scrapping, to giving basic computing classes at 15 years old. So I am no stranger to thinking up new business ventures.

Never underestimate yourself. As the old saying goes, it ain't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of fight in the dog. You are not powerless, as long as you have the will to persevere. #messagetoourkids #alwasyloving #aĺwaysgrowing #lifelessons

"No plan survives first contact" It is always best to have a plan, but at the same time, it's also good to have a plan when that one fails. Never plan to fail but more importantly, never fail to plan. #alwasyloving #lifelessons #dailymessages #cocktailandtabletalk #messagetoourkids #alwaysgrowing

Tener miedo de las chanclas. You never to old to get that sandal upside the head! Raise your kids to know that they are life long learnings, make them realize that they will never stop learning and never stop growing. It also helps that they still fear that shoe even when they think they grown!!!#messagetoourkids #alwayslearning #alwasyloving

We are back for Season 5! Season 4 honestly was not our best year, but we all have our ups and downs, but we must push on!

This season we have lined up some really great shows. We’ve lined up some funny, interesting and much smarter people to talk with rather than ourselves. We’ll talk physical and mental health, retirement planning, and what we are planning for the backyard next summer, as well as more insights to the hectic, chaotic but loving Tomlinson home. 

We begin with a new series that we like to call Messages To Our Kids. Our kids are grown and out the house- save for one and our soon to be gran….oh yeah…thats news to that we will get into later…but sometimes they are  older than all of us. 

These are short messages of motivation, encouragement, love, guidance and witty insights that we have learned along the way. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoy thinking of them and telling our kids. If you find them useful please use them as well. Never stop learning and always be mindful. So buckle up buttercups get the bottles ready and hold on for Season 5 of Cocktails and TableTalk!
