In this special short interview, I sit down with my incredible dad, Al Marsiglia—a lifelong writer, storyteller, and author of several books—who, at 93 years young, is still doing what he loves most: writing.
His passion, creativity, and dedication to his craft continue to inspire me every day. In this conversation, he shares a bit about his writing journey, his books, and what keeps him motivated to create well into his 90s. It’s a beautiful reminder that purpose, passion, and creativity don’t have an expiration date.
If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book—or continuing to pursue what you Love at any age—this short interview is sure to inspire you.
📚 I’ll be sharing the Amazon links to all of my dad’s books in the description so you can explore his work and support his writing journey.

Here are the Links for my Dad’s books:

Thank you for watching and celebrating creativity at every stage of life.
