Kevin Barry Price (6/29/54-5/22/25) This replay is a tribute to the music Barry left behind for all of us to enjoy and remember him!
Originally recorded on Thanksgiving Day 2020.
Our Kickass Boomer of the Day is Kevin Barry Price. After retiring from his regular job, Barry has been spending his time in his studio creating and recording music. In this episode, he will share his journey as a musician, his inspirations in life, and his joy in producing music. As everyone has been saying, there’s a price for everything. Barry will tell us what we need to do to be a successful musician after retirement.
Turn the volume up now and find out why Barry is a Kickass Boomer!
Music was the pulse of Barry’s life. Being left-handed, he taught himself to play guitar by turning it upside-down, which reflects his creativity and determination. This dedication led him to play several instruments, with special enthusiasm for the harmonica, for which he developed an amazing talent. From a young age, he wrote his own songs and played in bands. As an adult, Barry transformed his basement into a recording studio where he and fellow musicians were free to create new sounds and explore recording techniques. Friends and family were invited to participate in the recording process and appreciated the chance to be part of his music. Many local musicians tapped into Barry’s talent for mixing tracks and were welcomed to his home to use his studio and complete their pieces.
Barry was a familiar face at local open mics, where he shared his original songs and connected with fellow musicians and music lovers alike. He listened to many genres of music but held a special place in his heart for The Beatles, especially George Harrison, whose spirit and sound inspired him. Barry’s legacy lives on in the music he created and the lives he touched with his gentle spirit and unwavering passion.
Rest in Peace Barry! We will miss you!

Connect with Jean Kuhn
Running your business is no different than running your family. You need a daily plan or everything goes to hell. I became a mom and an entrepreneur at the exact same time, April 29, 1985, at 8:52 p.m. The moment they put that…
The moment they put that first baby in my arms I knew I was not going back to a J-O-B I hated, so I just started a business.
When I gave my notice to the company I worked for, they offered to put a computer in my house (in 1985 no one had home computers), make me an independent contract, increase my pay, put a computer in our home, and let me work from home. I was one of the original “telecommuters.”
I have started several businesses through the years, but my biggest business lessons came when I, purposefully, bought a bankrupt business in 2002 (a chocolate franchise).
I turned that business around in 12 months adding $100,000 to the bottom line. Four years later I bought a second bankrupt business (another chocolate franchise), and turned it around in less than 12 months adding slightly over $100,000 to the bottom line. I started helping my fellow franchisees increase their revenue, and then small business owners.
I now work with service and retail businesses to help them turn around their business and increase their cash flow fast.

JERRY GLAZERAs the leader of a Special Ops team, I learned the hard way that the Vietnam War was built on lies and deceit. We had as much to fear from the hardened American units, as we did from the enemy.
I was one of the more fortunate ones who returned alive, but every soldier has been wounded. I was awarded 3 medals for bravery, and meritorious service awards, but PTSD, regret and guilt followed me home.
When I returned from Vietnam, I recounted these the bizarre stories: the humor and absurdity of basic training and combat. My friends and family members, were both intrigued and in awe of the insanity of it all. And it was then, that I put my thoughts on paper, and my passion for writing had begun…...

Connect with Sandra Wasko-FloodSandra Wasko-Flood is an artist, poet, teacher and founder of the national non-profit organization: Living Labyrinths for Peace. Elizabeth Bishop is responsible for the publishing of this, her first book of art and poetry.
Wasko-Flood received a BA from UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) in English, and a Standard Secondary Teaching Credential from California State College, Los Angeles. After teaching Junior High School for three years, she became disappointed with the school system, and became a full time artist. She chose artistic luminaries with whom to study wherever she lived: at UCLA, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Smithsonian Institution Washington DC, and UNM Taos.
Specializing in printmaking and art/technology labyrinths, as director of the printmaking center at the Lee Arts Center in Arlington, VA, she invited Keith Howard to teach his new safe etching methods there. She then taught Safe Etching as well as Monotype printmaking, one of the first to update this form of one copy prints, at her home studio in Alexandria, VA.
An ardent feminist since college days, she was a founding member of the Washington Women’s Arts Center, the Washington Printmakers Gallery, the International Labyrinth Society and the founder of the Women’s Art Spirit group (discusses art and spirituality), and Living Labyrinths for Peace.
She discovered labyrinths from a seminal experience in the Great Kiva Civic/Ceremonial Center in Chaco Nature National Historical Park, NM, in which she saw figures of all races and cultures ascending an underground spiral, to do a Dance of Peace on the Kiva floor, and ascend a spiral to the skies. Afterwards, she went straight to a book store and found newly published book on labyrinths. She knew a labyrinth belonged in that kiva. Returning to her Washington DC studio, she was inspired to create “Dance of the Labyrinth:” computer programmed light box image faces of people and animals (Life), mummies (Death) and icons (Spirits) that lit up to your steps.
Due to an invitation from the Washington Performing Arts Society, (WPAS), based at the Kennedy Center, she conducted her “Labyrinths for Creativity and Peace” workshops in local schools. Inspired to change the school system, she related the labyrinth to all subjects or intelligences. In her soon to be published book—“The Labyrinth Instructors Handbook,” she will receive contributions from teachers in every field.
This teaching experience led her to co-directing the Labyrinth Society’s first project: “Labyrinths for Peace: 2000,” a labyrinth demonstration for inner peace on the East Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. Shortly afterwards, she founded Living Labyrinths for Peace (LL4P). This national organization, has the mission to inspire healing and transformation within and among people through labyrinth creation and education. Its goal is to establish a permanent LL4P center based on her vision in Chaco’s Great Kiva to unite peoples of all cultures, races and beliefs.

Melissa Davey, now in her 70's, retired from a lengthy corporate career in 2016 to pursue her second act and dream of becoming a filmmaker.
Melissa began her early career in Legal Services. As a Paralegal, Melissa represented more than one thousand individuals before the Social Security Administration and was a national substantive law trainer for the Legal Services Corporation.
In 1994 Melissa was recruited to the for-profit company, Genex, headquartered in Wayne, PA, to build their national Social Security advocacy program. As the Vice President of Social Security and Managed Disability for 22 years, Melissa sat on the company’s executive team and worked throughout the United States to create and deliver services to the disability insurance marketplace.
At age 65, after a day on the set with M Night Shyamalan, she decided to take a risk and left her career to jump into the unknown.
Pursuing her dream of becoming a filmmaker became a reality in late 2018 when Melissa completed her first feature film, Beyond Sixty. During 2019 Melissa’s film was accepted by and screened at 8 film festivals throughout the United States and Canada, winning awards and confirming that it is never too late to learn something new.
Picked up by a Distributor and released in 2021, the film is currently available on most streaming platforms, including AppleTV, PrimeVideo, Vimeo, Vudu and YouTubeTV.
Melissa’s second film, Climbing into Life details the inspiring life story of Dierdre Wolownick, the oldest woman to ascend El Captain. The film is currently making the film festival rounds.

https://marcelshumour.com/books
Marcel has published numerous humorous articles in a variety of legal and non legal publications in Canada and the U.S.
Marcel has written comedy sketches for CBC radio and television programs, such as “Funny You Should Say That” and “Royal Canadian Air Farce”.
He has keen insight into human nature and this made him a hit while he practiced stand up comedy at Yuk Yuks and other comedy clubs, sharing the stage with the likes of Bob Saget, Howie Mandel, and Jim Carrey.Connect with Marcel Strigberger
Marcel has authored three books, namely a hilarious and thought provoking book entitled,
Birth, Death and other Trivialities, which is a humourous philosophical look at the human condition, Poutine on the Orient Express: An Irreverent Look at Travel, and his most recent opus, Boomers, Zoomers, and Other Oomers: A Boomer-biased Irreverent Perspective on Aging.
Marcel Strigberger is uniquely qualified to deal with life’s so called serious issues in a whimsical and entertaining manner. And he’s a lot more fun to read and to listen to than Rene Descartes, Jean Paul Sartre and Sir Isaac Newton. Maybe not Sir Isaac Newton.

Terry Lohrbeer host of Kickass Boomers
My name is Terry Lohrbeer and I am your host for Kickass Boomers. This year in July of 2024 I turned 74 years young.
I started Kickass Boomers almost 4 years ago to fulfill a dream to inspire and teach others like the all-time great Zig Ziglar. He was the definitive inspirational speaker for many many years.
While it didn’t happen when I was young, as I got older, I realized that nothing was holding me back. So, as I enter my 7th decade of living, I am re-inventing myself to become a podcaster.

Meet Richard Skorupski
After a 21 year career in the U.S. Navy, Richard returned home to his native state of New Jersey. He followed his passion for the open waters and started a second career in the marine parts business.
However, the dense population of New Jersey and its high cost of living compelled Richard and his wife, Cheryl, to find a more peaceful and friendly environment for his second retirement. The couple now happily reside in Spink County, South Dakota.
His new Book “Becoming One” is an Historical Novel.
In the year 1930, Delia has lost her husband and is on the brink of losing her farm. To make matters worse, she may have to give her only son to her sister for upbringing. Peter, who has been hit hard by the death of his wife, is looking for ways to support his two daughters. Unfortunately, the stock market crash has caused the tire plant where he worked to stop production and he has lost his job due to the layoffs. Peter was the brother of Delia’s husband, Paul. With no benefit in staying in Akron, Peter writes to Delia suggesting that they combine their families in a marriage of convenience. Delia agrees, and the story begins with her meeting the train and her soon-to-be husband. Can they work together to raise three children who have never met before? Will their marriage of convenience give them a second chance at happiness?
In this episode Richard and I discuss why he decide to write another Historical Novel and why he loves to write. Richard became an author in retirement. Terry hopes that Richard will inspire other boomers to write a book if that is a dream they have always had. Richard also writes about middle America after moving to South Dakota and loving it.
Lots of research goes into every novel but Richard really enjoys this aspect of writing.

Jean describing her book of poetry “Sandprints At Ebbtide” I hope the readers of “Sandprints at Ebbtide” will find these poems, songs and Scripture passages a source of faith and inspiration in confronting the painful life lessons of aging, loss, perceived failures and even death, both for themselves and those they love. Faith guides us to a place of comfort and peace as we reach for meaning and consolation. These poems explore my personal life challenges in the light of God’s grace and redemption. Mother Julian of Norwich summarized all this for me in her still timely quote centuries later, “All shall be well, and every manner of things shall be well.” And St. Paul reminds us that “He whose power is at work in us, is powerful enough, and more than powerful enough, to carry out His purpose beyond all our hopes and dreams.” * The poems, Redemption I and Redemption II launch us into these themes which continue to unfold throughout. It is my wish that you discover joy, meaning and purpose in each and every one of your life lessons. Link to buy Jean’s 2 books: https://tinyurl.com/56zxts7e
Last Thursday, April 19th, 2024 I lost my best friend of almost half a century, Barbara Price Negro. In the midst of my grief and pain, I wrote a poem in her memory, which I would like to share here with my FB friends.
In Memory of Barbara
Somewhere on the other side of the veil
Beyond that mysterious Golden Gate
A party is happening, a gala celebration
A time of music and dancing, and the
Merriment of reunited loved ones.
There is the tinkling laughter of many angels
And joyous bells chiming everywhere
All because someone special has arrived
Even as we mourn our loss.
We need to have her back
But far above they are chanting her name.
Our view is not the same.
Dearest Barbara, now safe in the arms of God, we say
As we treasure your memory
A floral bouquet of love in many blooms
And many ways.
We will not forget you
Memories of you in ever present contemplation
Your life with a loving commemoration.
By best friend of almost half a century, Jean Petersen, 'Til we meet again.

Still Funny After All These Years.
Neil Offen has been a humor columnist for four decades and in two countries.
He’s also a card-carrying member of the baby boomer generation. And now he’s making affectionate and hilarious fun of his generation’s attempts to keep up, seem younger and maybe still be around for the launch of the iPhone 211 Pro.
His new book, Building a Better Boomer, offers laugh-out-loud advice for the generation caught between ChatGPT and Betamax VHS. There’s tongue-in-cheek guidance on how boomers can better see, hear, eat, exercise, sleep, retire, and even remember better.
Building a Better Boomer is not just for those born in the forties, fifties, or sixties. It’s also for all those who have a boomer in their lives. As bestselling author Steven Petrow says, “This is a book for all boomers, and those who care for and love them."

Running your business is no different than running your family. You need a daily plan or everything goes to hell.
I became a mom and an entrepreneur at the exact same time, April 29, 1985, at 8:52 p.m.
The moment they put that first baby in my arms I knew I was not going back to a J-O-B I hated, so I just started a business.
When I gave my notice to the company I worked for, they offered to put a computer in my house (in 1985 no one had home computers), make me an independent contract, increase my pay, put a computer in our home, and let me work from home. I was one of the original “telecommuters.”
I have started several businesses through the years, but my biggest business lessons came when I, purposefully, bought a bankrupt business in 2002 (a chocolate franchise).
I turned that business around in 12 months adding $100,000 to the bottom line. Four years later I bought a second bankrupt business (another chocolate franchise), and turned it around in less than 12 months adding slightly over $100,000 to the bottom line. I started helping my fellow franchisees increase their revenue, and then small business owners.
I now work with service and retail businesses to help them turn around their business and increase their cash flow fast.

Connect with Ghulan Fernandes
I used to think that old people died, and other people died, until I experienced multiple significant losses. I was stuck in the pain of grief for years. At times I felt lost, empty, and hopeless.
Lack of the right knowledge, tools and processes meant that I didn’t know how to move forward. Sometimes I wondered what the point of life was.
People around me didn’t know what to say and would often come out with platitudes or unhelpful comments.
During my quest in looking for answers, I explored many avenues. Counselling helped some, but when I discovered an action based step by step process for handling grief, it made a huge difference. It gave me a structured, systematic, and gentle process to discover and then deal with my unresolved grief.
Everyone’s journey is unique. Comparisons are unhelpful. I am passionate about helping others on their grief journey, so they don’t spend years stuck in pain and therapy.
I want to be a beacon of hope, and proof that it is possible to regain your sense of purpose and joy. It is possible to move forward. We only have one life. Get the help you need to make sure it is a life well lived!
You can book a free discovery call on Ghulam's website to learn more about how her programs might be able to help you with your grief.

Connect with Delaney Parker
Hello. My name is Delaney Parker, a writer and the author of the sexually charged, emotionally raw erotic fiction, GRACE. My life experiences as a woman, a mother and of having Multiple Sclerosis have given me a view that is unique and refreshing. My writing allows my characters to be themselves with their true feelings. Just like people in life, my characters possess quite layered personalities. Everyone has fine points and flaws, no one is all good or bad. We might find ourselves rooting for the bad guy then realize, it’s because we relate.
People should know that although Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic illness, those of us who dance with it are more than our pain. Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis myself fifteen years ago, I am the mom of two terrific kids and the keeper of my ridiculously cute pile of pets. There is triumph after setbacks. We live beyond medical equipment or our prescriptions. See us as more than a patient or handicapped person. In us is a desire to feel whole and respected not despite but inclusive of our adaptations.
All of us have dreams, desires, goals and hopes, albeit they may be different for each person. We have obstacles to do our best to overcome and find acceptance with ourselves for who we are inside . Even when I can no longer dance, I will feel the rhythm. And, I will remember the steps by heart and my heart can still be moved.
This is why I wrote the new adult novel, GRACE.

In Today’s Kick Ass Boomers Solo Episode, We will be talking about downsizing. Downsizing is definitely not a favorite topic of boomers, but it is something most of us will have to do at some point. Before putting a house on the market, it is important to get rid of as much stuff as possible. I decided to rent a pod so I could start packing and have a place to put all of the boxes. Since we are moving to Florida to a much smaller house, most of our furniture will have to be donated or sold on consignment. Most the have kids today do not want their parents stuff. Except for maybe some very special items, if it is old, even if it is in good condition can also be difficult to sell furniture because there is a glut of boomers selling furniture. So if you are thinking about downsizing, think about what you can get rid of and start packing your house!
[00:28 - 02:59] Downsizing: It's not a favorite topic of boomers, but it is something most of us will have to do at some point
- Downsizing and in the midst of getting their home ready to sell, so they're talking about downsizing on the show.
- Most boomers don't like talking about downsizing, but it's something most of them will have to do at some point.
- Before putting their house on the market, they're going through their closets and donating anything they no longer wear or need.
[03:00 - 05:23] Downsizing and Moving: Tips to Make the Process Easier
- Downsizing and moving can be a big job, and the sooner you start to tackle it, the better.
- If you have children, get them to help you move or donate their belongings.
- Most of what you have today is not wanted by your children.
- It can be difficult to sell furniture that is old, even if it is in good condition.
- There are companies who will help you sort through your belongings and haul away your junk for a fee.

Scott Houston's Bio:
The way piano is usually taught involves practicing endless scales and etudes, memorizing complicated notation, and focusing on classical music—not to mention the challenge of finding a teacher near you. It's no wonder most folks who take traditional piano lessons either lose interest or become a good sight reader rather than a good player. It's a shame because there's actually an alternative chord-based method that makes piano one of the easiest and most freeing instruments to learn to play!
With this method, new and more experienced players alike use lead sheets (simplified sheet music with letters) to learn the chords and melody of familiar tunes by actually playing them. I didn't invent this method. Heck, I'm not even one of the first people to teach it! But I am the most passionate about using it to help people play recreationally at any age. Throughout my chord-based courses, I focus on popular modern music and break down songs into small exercises, allowing students to quickly build their musical ear and fine motor skills without any notation knowledge. I believe that it's never too late to learn or loosen up your playing, which is why Piano in a Flash can be taken at any experience level, at any speed, all in a flexible online setting built just for adult learners.

Jean describing her book of poetry "Sandprints At Ebbtide" I hope the readers of “Sandprints at Ebbtide” will find these poems, songs and Scripture passages a source of faith and inspiration in confronting the painful life lessons of aging, loss, perceived failures and even death, both for themselves and those they love. Faith guides us to a place of comfort and peace as we reach for meaning and consolation. These poems explore my personal life challenges in the light of God’s grace and redemption. Mother Julian of Norwich summarized all this for me in her still timely quote centuries later, “All shall be well, and every manner of things shall be well.” And St. Paul reminds us that “He whose power is at work in us, is powerful enough, and more than powerful enough, to carry out His purpose beyond all our hopes and dreams.” * The poems, Redemption I and Redemption II launch us into these themes which continue to unfold throughout. It is my wish that you discover joy, meaning and purpose in each and every one of your life lessons. Link to buy Jean's 2 books: https://tinyurl.com/56zxts7e
Jacklyn (Jacci) Ryan's Bio:
Jacklyn Ryan is a Senior Care Advocate. When needing care for her parents, she reached out for help, trusting home care agencies. She learned that appearances can be deceiving. Because of her efforts, stronger laws were passed in her state to provide better protection for vulnerable family members.
Amazon link to Jacci's Book"Care Givers Scare Takers" https://tinyurl.com/52ay8cyc
Families struggle to find dependable, trusted care. These true stories from Jacci's book are but a glimpse that exposes fraud and manipulation by unscrupulous caregivers. Through these stories, you will learn to identify subtle hints that expose a dishonest care-giver. You'll discover Resources, tips on hiring and managing your caregiver and some basic estate planning questions are included. More than $37 billion is stolen each year because of the financial exploitation of seniors, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Better regulation is needed for in-home care agencies. Some states don't require caregivers to be fingerprinted, background-checked and/or drug-tested! Who can you trust?

Ann's Bio:
Ann did not grow up in one place because her father was in the navy. We moved so often I was the “new girl” in nine different schools before I graduated high school. I am by nature, very shy. Always being the “new kid” helped me learn how to make friends, but I also learned how to be happy alone. I loved to read, so the friends that followed me from place to place were the ones I found in stories.
I was five years old when our family left Jacksonville, Florida. My father was assigned to the military base in Charleston, S.C. We were in Charleston for eight years, but we lived in three different houses and I went to four different schools during those years. All of us liked to fish. We spent many days sitting on the sides of bridges while we fished until our shoulders and legs were tanned a deep copper. I remember climbing over rubble at Ft. Sumter where my imagination ran wild thinking of cannon fire and shouting soldiers. We walked along beaches while Dad told us tales of pirates. He insisted we were walking over treasure that pirates had buried in the sand beneath our feet. I think I get my imagination from my father.
When Dad was transferred to Groton, Connecticut, my brother Mike and I played in snow for the first time while Dad helped weld together the first nuclear submarine, the Nautilus. In Yorktown, Va., we waited until the tide went out so that we could find lead musket balls left over from colonial battles. No matter where we lived, I learned that life was a grand adventure and every day is a gift of unlimited possibilities.
There were only a few certainties in my uncertain life. I knew I was responsible for packing my own stuff. I was also responsible for keeping up in school and at home. I learned at an early age that good people can be found everywhere. I realized that a home does not depend on the house you put it in. These were all priceless lessons to learn at an early age.
I graduated from Florida State University, and served as a teacher with the Peace Corps in Liberia, West Africa. This is where I met and married Jim, another Peace Corps volunteer. We returned home and settled in Evansville, Indiana where it made me so happy to live in one house for more than thirty years.
Over the years, I have been a middle-grade reading teacher, a youth minister, and a college counselor. Through it all, I have been a writer and now I am adding podcaster to that.

Michele Fishburne's Bio:
Michelle Fishburne’s life turned upside down during the 2020 COVID spring when she lost her job and could not find another notwithstanding months of trying. At the end of July 2020, when the lease on her post-divorce house was up and her youngest was going off to college, Michelle found herself without a house, a spouse, a job, or a kid to take care of. That is what she did NOT have. What she DID have was a 2006 motorhome, tons of curiosity, and a lot of experiencing RV’ing all over the country. She combined all of these into a cross-country project, interviewing people about their lives during the pandemic. She RV’d 12,000 miles and interviewed hundreds of people. Now 100 of those 1st-person stories are being published by UNC Press and the Duke Center for Documentary Studies in “Who We Are Now: Stories of What Americans Lost and Found During the COVID-19 Pandemic” (March 2023). Michelle continues to be a full-time nomad, living and working in her motorhome, Airbnb’s, and the occasional house sitting gig. Her favorite thing about aging is that it gives us each an opportunity to change and see the many facets of ourselves, reassembled each time in different ways, like a kaleidoscope.

For women over fifty, this invaluable guide combines practical advice, specific strategies, and no shortage of sass that will inspire readers to beat ageist limitations and own their careers.
Despite advances made by women in the workplace, pay inequity and underrepresentation in top positions are still a reality.

In this revelatory, inspiring, and savvy new book, Marcus is out to convince you that, in fact, you can do a whole lot. You can keep your job, advance your career, do the work you love and need to do―and defy all the ageist assumptions that suggest otherwise.

In this conversation, Diane Bruno, a funeral director, and author, shares the story of her many transitions in life. She also talks about the importance of journaling to help you process your emotions and build your legacy. She discusses how journaling can be beneficial for both oneself and loved ones. Diane also tackles how technology has made learning new things easier than ever and how anyone can access information and courses regardless of age or experience. She believes that boomers make great life coaches because of our life experiences, which make us well-equipped to provide guidance to others.
Let’s get to know more about Diane Bruno’s passion.
I am an accomplished communications professional who knows how to craft messages that resonate with their intended audience. With over twenty years of experience in the communications field, I have witnessed it all and have been on the cutting edge of constant change. From the advent of the first corporate websites and intranets and throughout the evolution of social media technologies, all organizations have one goal in common, the desire to speak effectively to their internal and external audience.
I launched my career at DDB Worldwide (part of Omnicom Group), one of the most influential and sought-after agencies in the advertising arena, with a focus on press materials and releases, executive communications, employee engagement, copywriting, corporate social responsibility, and more. The trajectory of my career has been an interesting and diverse migration. From the corporate communications arena to the funeral industry and back around, the one constant that has endured is my passionate love for the written word.
Respect, empathy, clarity, validation, and appreciation need to be a part of every written message. I incorporate each of those into my approach to keeping employees and internal and external stakeholders engaged; they are the principles I live by in every aspect of my life.

Welcome Back to Kickass Boomers, Today we are joined by Dr. Ynge Ljung!
Dr. Ynge Ljung was born and raised in Sweden, Dr. Ynge graduated as Chemical Engineer, but nobody at that time hired women engineers, and she moved to Bangla Desh, then to Venezuela. In 1990 she came to The United States, where she went to The Traditional School For Chinese Medicine in Miami from 1992 - 1995 when she graduated as an Acupuncture Physician. She opened her own clinic and had amazing results, but one or another didn’t respond as she expected. The patient would feel much better after the treatment, but the ailment would come back, mostly aches and pains and digestive problems.
This was not acceptable to Her so she started a quest to find what the root was, and found that allergies played a big role in these patients, and took courses to learn how to remedy this. In 1998 she started treating for allergies with the system called NAET. It was an excellent protocol and she had great results, but it took a lot of time and many visits, so many patients didn’t finish their treatments due to lack of time and money, and many families had more than one child, and allergies themselves. In 2000, She started to experiment and research other methods to speed up the process. By now allergies started to be more and more common, and with many people living far away from a practitioner, she started to work on a protocol and system the patients could do themselves.

Welcome Back to Kick Ass Boomer, Today we are joined by Michael Cobb. At the height of a successful career in the computer industry, Mr. Cobb left to pursue more pioneering opportunities in the emerging real estate markets of Central America. In 1996, he and his business partner formed a company, Exotic Caye International, to provide loans to North Americans purchasing properties in Belize, Honduras, and throughout the region.
As the need for capital outstripped the supply, the mortgage company was converted to an international bank under the jurisdiction of Belize. It continues to provide mortgage services but has expanded its services to encompass the full realm of financial products.
Mr. Cobb also saw the need for a regional real estate company that would serve the Baby Boomer consumer with a North American standard product for the next 2 decades. He led the group into real estate development and created a holding company for several properties including a resort on Ambergris Caye, Belize. In August of 2000, Exotic Caye purchased 3.5 miles of Pacific Beachfront property due west of Managua, Nicaragua. This master-planned community hosts world-class infrastructure, homes, and condominium units. In February of 2006, the ECI Development group acquired 1100 acres and 3km of coastline in Costa Rica, setting the stage for expansion into this popular market. Most recently they merged their Belize property with a much larger parcel and have begun to develop 200 condominiums units on Ambergris Caye, Belize.
Additionally, Michael has spoken at hundreds of international conferences about real estate financing and development. He has acted as a consultant to The Oxford Club and gives counsel to various real estate projects throughout Central America.

Before putting a house on the market, it is important to get rid of as much stuff as possible. I decided to rent a pod so I could start packing and have a place to put all of the boxes. Since we are moving to Florida to a much smaller house, most of our furniture will have to be donated or sold on consignment. Most the have kids today do not want their parents stuff. Except for maybe some very special items, if it is old, even if it is in good condition can also be difficult to sell furniture because there is a glut of boomers selling furniture. So if you are thinking about downsizing, think about what you can get rid of and start packing your house!

Lisa E. Betz never intended to become a writer. She followed her love of math and science to a degree in mechanical engineering and a job at an aluminum manufacturing plant. (She knows the real reason aluminum foil is shiny on one side and dull on the other.)
After six years in the industry, parenthood led her to change jobs and become a high school substitute, which led to an opportunity to direct a high school play. Lisa’s directorial debut was a success, leading to a dozen more plays, everything from Shakespeare to Oscar Wilde, plus one pun-filled melodrama she wrote herself.
Looking back, Lisa can see how her unconventional path to authordom prepared her to create her quirky, unusual mysteries. Her years leading Bible studies gave her a deep understanding and appreciation for the first-century setting of her books. Her analytical, engineering mind helped her create complex, clever mystery plots. And her years directing high school plays. It gave her a deeper understanding of how to develop complex, lovable, sometimes snarky characters.
In addition to writing novels, Lisa speaks and blogs about living with authenticity and purpose. She also experiments with ancient Roman recipes, eats too much chocolate, and enjoys long walks in the woods. She and her husband live on a beautiful, wooded hillside on the outskirts of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with their rambunctious cat, Scallywag, who is the inspiration for Nemesis, the mischief-making cat who stalks the pages of the Livia Aemilia Mysteries.

- When her children were growing up, she mainly volunteered for everything and got paid for it.
- It gave her an idea and inspiration that she could write for other people.
- With Her Bible Study and History background, she wrote a strong female character that revolves around her time.
- Getting published is just the first step; you have to market your book.
- It's not easy to become a successful author, and you have to change your mindset from someone who dabbles in writing to someone who takes writing seriously.
[08:41 - 17:40 How to Live an Authentically Good Life
- Lisa points out that being challenged and learning is good for the brain.
- there are wonderful resources out there for whatever it is you want to learn

It also takes intentions. in our modern society to be mindful of what's happening now, instead of rushing around. All these good habits take intention. That’s why I say live intentionally.” - Lisa E. Betz
“So there are a lot of wonderful things that you can take up at any age, and the more different things that we allow ourselves to begin to learn about, the more creativity and the more we keep our brains young. - Lisa E. Betz
“ We are being told, well if you don't do it right, if you don't make it perfect, if you don't have it, if you don't write your first novel publishable, then you are wasting your time, and that's not true at all.” -Lisa E. Betz

Why do we have to conform to society’s definition of aging? The fact is, we don’t.
Kathleen Sinclair here, being the author of her book “F#ck Aging”, has empowering views about what it means to exist in this generation and the value we can give and take. She tackles this very controversial subject, but she believes that all boomers need to be willing to say "f#ck aging" and get on with their lives. She emphasizes that boomers shouldn't just resign on the couch but rather get up and get moving in doing the things they love to do.
This goes to show that no matter your age, it is never too late to fulfill what you desire. Age is just a part of life and there is nothing wrong with getting older.

Self-doubt is part of human experience yet left unchecked, it could restrain us from discovering our purpose and living the true meaning of life. We are joined today by an overcomer and victor, Joann.
Joann wrote her first novel at twelve, but always convinced herself she wasn't good enough, smart enough, etc. She has had a lack of a "core" or sense of self her entire life. Part of that confusion stems from being an adoptee who didn't fit in with her family or the small town where she grew up. Consequently, she went through several bouts of depression, both large and small. Mid-life she took a leap and obtained her master's degree in creative writing, not as a career path but to prove she could do it. A publisher was interested in her thesis novella, "The Something That Happened in Pepperville," and she still didn't feel comfortable embracing this identity. Authors were smart and successful people and that wasn't her.
The day after her first book signing, she and her husband moved 2,000 miles across the country to begin their next adventure.
Every opportunity she thought she had waiting for her fell through. In addition to that lack of self, she now had no job, no friends, and no outlet. On top of that, a foot injury left her housebound for over a year. She went through counseling with a person who used her as her therapist and spent hours sitting in the dark closet trying to feel connected to something. Joanne convinced herself things would get better if she just sat there long enough.
Two years later, her husband had a massive heart attack while hiking in the woods. His heart stopped six times, and as a result, he has permanent brain damage. While she was sitting in his room, listening to the machine's pump and whir, she had a revelation: She has been pushing the notion that she’s a writer out of her head all of her life, waiting for the perfect moment. When would that be, exactly? It certainly wasn't happening inside the closet. Looking at her husband, she realized we have no guarantees and if that's who she truly was, the time to write was now.
She spent his recovery writing her first novel, telling herself it was a one-and-done. The part of her she had shoved away for so many years, spoke up and said, "I'm not going away now. This is who you are. Embrace it."
Currently, she has published eight novels (two are award-winning novels) and have several more planned.
Eventually, she was able to find a therapist and medication that kept her out of the dark space. Giving in to that inner voice and following the path laid out, she has finally found peace and her identity: Joanne is an author.

Here is a solo episode to reflect on the young adult book that I’ve recently read. The book is titled, "Choices: The True Story of One Family's Daring Escape to Freedom," by J.E.Laufer, one of my previous guests in our podcast. Her book was published by Little Egg Publisher.
“Choices” is a short and easy-to-read novel to read to your grandchildren to illustrate how life was in the 1950s. It will also keep both of you on the edge of your seat. I came up with five talking points below to encourage your grandchildren to share their thoughts about the book.
Five Talking Points:
- What choices have you made that affected your life so far?
- Who do you know that shows courage & bravery?
- How can you relate to a family that has to leave everything behind including their homeland to find freedom?
- What does freedom mean to you?
- Has luck ever showed up in your life?
Tweetable Quotes:
“Kids enjoy hearing about relatives they might never have met and countries far away that have a connection for them.” - Terry Lohrbeer

Here is a solo episode to reflect on the trying times of 2020 and look forward to the new year. I started this podcast to bring stories that inspire and motivate baby boomers to live the best life possible for them. In living our best lives, I know that we also want to leave a legacy that we will be proud of. The previous episodes so far have shown that everything is possible for us, boomers. We can be tandem surfers (Episode 9), musicians (Episode 8), entrepreneurs (Episode 5), and many more! Listen to the previous episodes and be inspired by the boomer stories that we featured. Bee Bold, Not Old. Kick Ass, and live your best life. Now, let’s all welcome the new year, 2021.
