Strings and Words: They Found Love while Creating Beautiful Music and Stories


Listen Later

Welcome to Hey, Boomer! The podcast that celebrates the vibrant and fulfilling lives of Baby Boomers.

My guests today, Stu and Jana Zonder, are not only partners in life, but they've also built a successful business together called String Along with Stu. Stu is a master musician and teacher of both guitar and ukulele. Jana is a published author, editor, and ghostwriter, with her first book, "Magenta Rave," making waves in the thriller genre.

In this episode, we explore the exciting world of Stu and Jana. We dive into their journey of falling in love after just two guitar lessons, their passion for music, and how they've built a thriving online teaching business.

But that's not all. Jana's book, "Magenta Rave," captivates readers with its gripping storyline that deals with sexual abuse and revenge.

We also discuss how age is just a number, as Stu and Jana prove to us that life can get even better as you grow older.

Takeaways:

1. Find joy and fulfillment in your work: Stu and Jana's story is a testament to the importance of doing what you love. Both of them have found their passion in music and writing, and their work brings them immense joy and satisfaction. It's never too late to pursue your dreams and create a career that brings you purpose.

2. Embrace the present moment: Stu and Jana emphasize the significance of being present in the moment and finding joy in simple pleasures. By staying present, they have discovered a greater sense of relaxation, security, and satisfaction in their lives. Take a page from their book and savor every moment.

3. Explore your creative side: Age shouldn't limit your creativity. Stu and Jana encourage listeners to tap into their artistic abilities, whether it's through drawing, dancing, or any other creative outlet. Engaging in art can bring personal growth, fulfillment, and a whole lot of fun.
