I’m almost 69 years old and have come to the conclusion that I need to work harder at having a growth mindset, especially since I recently retired, but I’m not ready to retire from life. I came across this podcast and I love it. Diverse topics. Simple applications. Appreciate the “5 seconds” at each episode end. Highly recommend.

My mind operates similar as yours, but you help broaden my mind perspectives, theories, etc. Thank you for sharing! God bless
