Here is a solo episode to reflect on the trying times of 2020 and look forward to the new year. I started this podcast to bring stories that inspire and motivate baby boomers to live the best life possible for them. In living our best lives, I know that we also want to leave a legacy that we will be proud of. The previous episodes so far have shown that everything is possible for us, boomers. We can be tandem surfers (Episode 9), musicians (Episode 8), entrepreneurs (Episode 5), and many more! Listen to the previous episodes and be inspired by the boomer stories that we featured. Bee Bold, Not Old. Kick Ass, and live your best life. Now, let’s all welcome the new year, 2021.
