93: Its Ok to Be Vulnerable

Late Starters Club

05/03/23 • 5 min

As business owners, it can be such a scary thing to talk about our mental health. We're scared that we might lose business, that we might lose friendships, or we might offend someone in some way.

During my interview with Heather Lutze, it struck me that she was extremely brave in revealing her diagnosis of bipolar disease. And not only does she share that she was diagnosed but she really leaned into it with her side project creating the Crazy Good Life Project. And I think it was just incredibly, incredibly brave of her to be able to get up and give a TEDx talk about her mental health, talk about it in a bigger, more public way.

Late Starters Club

12/12/22 • 26 min

What could you accomplish if you knew that age doesn't matter? When you listen to my latest interview with six-time Olympian, Mary Hanna you will learn that in equestrian sports, everyone can ride, no matter their age.

And with an attitude like that, it's no wonder that Mary has competed in six (hopefully seven) Olympic games in her 40s, 50s and 60s. Listen in to learn about Mary's tenacity and why her life motto seems to be "Just do it!"

Here is a glimpse into the episode:

[1:35] Hear about how Mary first got started with horses in her youth and how that lead to competing in the Olympics.

[8:41] Why does Mary not consider age part of competing?

[11:12] What is it that motivates Mary to keep going, especially through some of the hardships she has endured?

[12:30] What advantage does Mary believe she has competing as someone older in the Olympics?

[14:18] Does Mary believe that society is starting to view older people differently than they have in the past?

[16:58] What is Mary's favorite part of the Olympics (besides competing, of course!)?

[18:18] What are some of the unexpected obstacles and disappointments that Mary has had to fight her way through?

[23:53] What advice does Mary have for anyone who thinks its too late to get started - riding a horse or otherwise?

90: The Risk of Staying Inside a Mistake - Top Takeaways

Late Starters Club

04/26/23 • 4 min

What is the risk of staying inside a mistake? In episode 89, I interviewed Kathleen Adams, who started her new business in her fifties and she discovered that the platform she chose to run her business on was a mistake. We dove into how to deal with moving through that mistake. What it means to push through and choose something different. But I think that there is a lesson here for all of us about what it means to let go of a commitment and move on to something else.

When you make a commitment to something (a job, a marriage, a business venture, a partnership) it feels easier to stay inside that commitment rather than go through all the pain and heartache of moving into something new. It feels risky to move into something else. There's inertia. There are all the things that we've done to get settled in that decision. And there are all these unknowns on the other side of it. Will it actually be better? And how do I really know that it's going to be an improvement? But at the same time, you can't sit and stay in that mistake. Change is painful. It's not easy, but it's worth it.Consider what is the risk of not making that change or staying in that mistake. It's regret. Regret is the biggest risk.

So if you realize that something in your life is a mistake. Then it might be time to start making changes and understand that there is going to be pain with it, but you're going to be able to push through. And there will be something new on the other side.

Tune in to learn more about my top takeaways from Katheleen Adams.
