I had the pleasure of meeting with Shawn Perry, host of The Senior Zone radio show. He’s been connecting seniors in the Washington, DC, area with services for over a decade. His story is particularly interesting because he had a career in the Air Force, and when he retired, was influenced by his grandmother to pivot to the field of aging. Because of Shawn’s work, countless people are connected with financial and mental health resources. I love hearing stories like his because it just takes one person with a passion to impact the world positively.

You can check out my interview with Shawn in the Youtube below or listen to the After 40 Podcast.

If you know anyone in the DC area looking for resources, send them Shawn’s way – his resources are free!
