Entrepreneur Jennie Nash, 56, visits the podcast with her story of empty nest brilliance including her many pivots in business. A successful author of nine published books, Jennie is now the founder and CEO of Author Accelerator. Her path was not a straight line.

Just as we all bob and weave to create a life that we love, the very same signs and symptoms that change is needed can be found in a business. A great conversation on sensing trouble ahead and taking action. A fine midlife pivot!

Many, if not most, of my stories, opinions, and advice spill out when I am the guest on other podcasts where the host is asking me questions. As the host, I rarely get asked questions.
