One in a while you come across someone who just puts a smile on your face even when you’re feeling down. That’s how Philly felt when she came across My Dad Stan on TikTok. With over 12 million likes and 330 thousand followers, My Dad Stan has found himself as an internet sensation at the age of 81. Find out all about his life going from social work to TikTok and his views on living your best and happiest life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• My Dad Stan recommends the book ‘What Colour Is Your Parachute?’. He found it transformative when leaving his career in social work and going into what he does now. You’ll find a link in the show notes below.
• We all need to laugh, that’s why when Stan is answering people’s questions on TikTok he makes his answers different and something that the question asker might not expect. A lot of young people don’t have an older person who they can go to for advice, which is one of the reasons Stan has gained such a following.
• One minutes anger suppresses your immune system for six to seven hours, one minutes laughter boosts your immune system for up to twenty four hours.
• The best answer to that question with no answer around illness and grief is to say ‘we’re adapting’. Sometimes you don’t need to ask the question of how they are, why not go out of your way to do something for them, don’t ask, just do. If they love cookies, bake them some cookies.

BEST MOMENTS

‘He broke all the rules and I thought we need to do that too’

‘When you find your passion, that’s when you find your purpose’

‘We ask the question for ourselves rather than for the person’

‘When you want something in life ask, but always ask respectfully and enthusiastically’
