As We Get Older Bob Pessemier

Terry Tucker has reinvented himself a few times. He has worked in marketing, hospital administration, and customer service. He was a police officer and SWAT negotiator with the Cincinnati Police Department, started a security consulting business, and became a high school basketball coach.
Each change meant new skills and new challenges. His greatest challenge came in 2012 when he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Four years of Interferon injections followed, and the treatment almost killed him. The pain and suffering taught him that he had two choices - succumb to the debilitating discomfort and misery or learn to embrace it and use it to make himself a stronger and better human being. He chose the latter. 
Terry started the Motivational Check blog to help inspire people to lead uncommon lives, even in uncommon and uncomfortable circumstances. He is still battling cancer and has had multiple surgeries, including the amputation of his left leg. Today we talk about motivation and how to keep going and stay positive about life even when it's really tough.

My next guest is Magnus Walker. He grew up in Sheffield England and dropped out of school to come to the U.S. and try the American dream. It worked out pretty good for him. Almost by accident, he started Serious Clothing and his stuff was worn by the likes of Madonna, Bruce Willis, and Alice Cooper.
 
He has loved Porsche's since he was a kid and started collecting and restoring vintage Porsche 911s. He was in a short film, Urban Outlaw, that was a big hit at the 2012 Raindance Film Festival. His newfound fame led to Porsche asking him to work for them 35 years after he applied to work there when he was 10. Magnus also wrote an autobiography - Urban Outlaw: Dirt Don't Slow You Down, about his rise and fall in the fashion industry. His TEDx UCLA talk is great.
 
In this episode we talk about how to be adaptive in a complex world, be open to options, and master your perspective not your plan. And just a touch of outlaw cooking.

My next guest is Michael O'Neal. He spent 15 years as a designer and a branding guy, then he started doing social media and podcasting consulting, and in 2013, he started a Podcast called The Solopreneur Hour with the best tag line – Job Security for the Unemployable.  He's had over 10 million downloads to date. That's pretty good.
 
Through his show and his coaching work, he helps people find a path to business success on their own terms.  He can help you create a successful business you can run in our underwear, and with all that is going on in the world economy right now, that could come in pretty handy.

Dan Zeman is back for another chat. He is an exercise physiologist and has worked in the health, fitness and sports medicine fields for over 38 years. In his book, You're Too Old To Die Young, the topic of our first interview, he outlined the new and unique issues all boomer men will face in time. 
 
In this episode we talk about COVID-19, the healthcare system, who is vulnerable, what this event means for your future, and what you can do to help yourself now and down the road. That's a lot!

My next guest is Dr. Glenn Livingston, and he says, "I’m a formerly obese guy with very poor cardiovascular genetics, a guy who almost ate himself to death despite a dozen warnings from doctors and other health professionals who wasted years of his life believing he had a mysterious disease which caused him to compulsively overeat." He has a PhD in clinical psychology and is the Author of the very successful book Never Binge Again, with over 1 million readers. And the book is FREE!
 
You may have seen his work in Psychology Today or The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Sun Times, or on national TV and radio. He used to do research and consulting for Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. And after a personal journey out of obesity, he spent decades researching the psychology behind overeating and binge eating. His unique approach to food choices will help you develop a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food. 
 
He says you should not let farm animals tell you what to eat. He will help you deal with your inner pig.
