I am an almost 61-year-old Sales, Sales Manager, and Leader in my community in San Diego, CA. I started my podcast to help younger people navigate life since I have had hurdles like everyone else, but I tend to get a large variety of ages listening, even boomers! I have 8 children and soon to have a total of 19 grandchildren. Like many boomers I have been through the ringer when it comes to life and have many life experiences that could benefit anyone at any age. I choose to be a positive person, although it can be tough with our country's leadership over the last 20 years.
