True You - Character Building with Java

Ep. 26 - Sit Back and Realize How Much You Can Learn From Old People with Larry Merino


Listen Later

There is so much wisdom that comes with age, from life experiences to understanding the world on a higher level that only time can teach you. So why don’t we leverage the elderly more? 

There is so much to learn and understand from older generations, but so many of us have written them off. We want to change that perspective because we want you to get the most juice out of life, and that starts with knowing where to go for the best guidance.

We’ve invited Larry Merino on our podcast today. He is a professor, pastor, missionary and has done a whole lot of human service work in Eastern Europe, as well as the host of The Misfit Mentor with Larry Merino. Larry is also set to turn 70 years old soon! 

Larry has traveled the world, and helped a ton of people with his mentorship, where he joins us with a bucket load of wisdom that he wants to share with you. 

In this episode, we cover why we should be looking to older people for guidance, how to ask for guidance, and the benefits of it all.
