Southern California Law Enforcement Officer, Garett Te Slaa joins me to talk about his mission to help the law enforcement community (and first responders) improve their health and wellness.

Throw out the stereotypes because the Boomer generation is breaking the mold. We are entering an era in which 52 million, or 17% (and rising) of Americans are over 65 and in the early stage of life's Third Age.

Simoon Dixon is the CEO of Idea Engineering (https://www.ideaengineering.com), a branding and strategic communications agency, and the creative force behind The Relational Intersect (https://www.therelationalintersect.org), a platform for discussing community. I subscribe to his newsletter where he addresses important issues from a unique perspective blending personal anecdotes, human observation and corporate responsibility. He grew up in England and has lived on both coasts of the US for all of his adult life. Simon has a good heart, is an optimist and has great faith in the human race. I've learned a lot from Simon, like an entirely new way to pronounce "aluminum" and a new word - "obverse". Enjoy the show!
