"The life we live is a race and it's the race to be the best version of ourselves regardless of what the memories are. So, in the adventure called life, there are just as many journeys in the making. To build up a great journey we need positivity by which we are going to do whatever is required for great output. Whether it be going to all ends of the earth or just sitting and watching: just be the best version of you."

My guest on this episode is Jeremy Holloway (excuse me, that's Dr. Holloway - although he'd never make much of a title).
Jeremy has made a significant shift in his life focus after discovering that the elderly in his area were dying, not from COVID-19, but from loneliness and isolation. This gripped his heart to such a degree that he utilized the training he received and put together a curriculum that helps connect the college student with the elderly. There's so much more to say, but you'd be better off listening to Jeremy share his story.
You'll find his program, Tellegacy, HERE.

- Any reference to ACHI.com, should be changed to ACHI.solutions
- Jeremy is a professor at the University of North Dakota (in the show I mentioned the University of Toledo)
