• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the younger seventy and eighty year olds or to me,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: you know, that's like a lot. I know, they just
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: seem really young to me, like my parents' friends, like
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: that seventy five year old. They all seem very young
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: to me, you know, but I love those TikTok videos

• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and he's on the streets and he's talking to anybody
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: that's over seventy, and he asks them a series of questions,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: you know, what are your regrets or what do you
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: wish you could tell your younger self, and what's advice
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: you would give other people? And almost all of them
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: talk about the journey to a dream was better than
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: the dream itself, better than the realization of a dream,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: and also the focus not being on monetary things like
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: they wish they hadn't focused so much on it and
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: focused on the relationships. And you know, so I feel
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: like I'm learning so much from I love, love, love
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: these little videos of these people. Went to a graduation
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: party for my nephew. You and there's a friend I
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: hadn't seen in twenty years. She's in her sixties and
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: she is newly divorced and basically starting over.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Oh wow.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: So she and I are at a table together and
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: she's talking about a dream she has and she said,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I have this idea. She's a nurse for an app
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: And I go, oh, she goes oh, well, I don't
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: know the first thing. I don't know what to do
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: or whatever. And she used to be an entrepreneur years ago.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: That's how I knew her. And at the same table
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: with one of Lindsay's best friends, Kim Achino Smith, brilliant
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: finance person, and I said, Kim, do you know any
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: app creators? And she went, oh, yeah, my friend. You know.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Her eyes perked up and she goes, you do She goes,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: oh yeah. So she starts asking her some questions and
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: she goes, well, first you need to meet with a
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: business analytic person and you need to tell them all
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: that you want and then they can create an app
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: for you. And she's like, oh my gosh, okay, well,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I mean I don't even know how to market. I
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: don't do anything on social media. And then there's my daughter.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: She's an expert in social media. She works for one
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: of the biggest you know, hotel industry in their social
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: media area. So I said, Sonny, what should she do?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: What would be the first thing she would do? And
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Sonny's like, well, first she does this, this, this, and this.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: When I tell you, the light that came flowing through her.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: She got so excited she and then she's talking. We're brainstorming,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: and she said. She hugged me when she's about to leave,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: and she said, you have no idea. How excited I
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: am for the first time. I am in my sixties
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: and I my mind is going crazy. And it made
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: me realize there is no age limit for that. There's
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: no age limit to starting over, creating a new business, idea,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: a new hobby, a new anything there is. You are
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: never too old for that. And one thing Dad taught
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: us in business, he said, powerful words are will you
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: help me? He said that something that people do not
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: use very often, and he said, and it's gotten me
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: everywhere in life and being successful in business. Ask people
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: to help you, and people will jump through hoops to
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: help you. It's just in them to want to help, right,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: And so I told her, I said, just ask for
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: help and people will help you. I love that, Kim, really,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I love that story.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: And this is what I love. It makes me. It
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: makes people, you know, probably like me, that are listening
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: to us in their car, they start thinking of what
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: they could do. Because we all know that as long
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: as we have breath in our body, we have a
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: purpose to fulfill on this earth, You're never too old.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I've had all these ideas. I
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: used to think that I would go into nursing homes
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: because I love to hear old people's stories about their lives.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: And I thought, oh, you know what I'm gonna do
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: one day, I'm gonna go. I'm going to visit with people.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna write down their life story and then get it,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: you know, put it in a book form and give
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: it to their family when they pass away. Never did it,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: but I swear what my next book is going to
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: be called Good Intentions because I really but anyway, this
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: is kind of inspires you to take good intentions the
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: thoughts that you've had. And then another point that I
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: thought about when Kimberly was telling that story is you
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: never know who around you has the connections or has
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: the brain power or the knowledge, or or is it
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: connected to somebody that will help you get.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Sachronicity is a real thing. You are where you're supposed
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: to be because that's where God has placed you. You
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: were connected everybody around you. There is a purpose for
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: every person that you know in your life. Open your
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: eyes and see them.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Duh, yep, that's that's very very good.
