Tammy Abramovitz is a wife, mother and confident adventurer. She has a live-out-loud Texas personality that is generous, achievement oriented, sensitive and contemplative. A driven altruist and a creative sophisticate, she has a hospitality-based heart and a servant leadership style. Her personal passions include entertaining, community, philanthropy, and free range junking. Named by Salonniere Magazine as one of the 100 Party Hosts in the Country in 2018, Tammy continues to inspire and educate via her monthly newspaper column in the Castle Pines Connection (in Castle Pines, Colorado) called Modern Manners. Join us as Tammy has a conversation with Robin about “Modern Manners” - and the joy of living out loud! You’ll wanna grab a pen and take notes on this episode!

Takeaways:

1. Returning the shopping cart in a parking lot says a lot about how you feel about those around you.
2. Plan a party and celebrate the heck out of life! Why not? Think and plan and collect ideas and then do it! You and others will remember the moment forever.
3. Be nice. It’s that simple.

MindFULL Musings - 60 and Counting!

Today’s episode is a short MindFULL Musing on turning 60. I share an essay, Hind Sight, written by Wendy Reiger, a 60 year old news anchor who passed away in the Spring of 2022, and a mention from McKinsey on Point, a daily newsletter from McKinsey and Company, on “What is the 60+ economy really worth?” Turning 60 is a milestone and it’s worth trillions, on many levels. Let’s celebrate!

#1 Takeaway from Wendy’s essay:

Don’t look back

Takeaways From McKinsey on Point:

The Longevity Concept - older adults are living much greater lives with longer health spans (the healthy periods of a person’s life), which enables them to be productive and to contribute to society
This new concept is worth over $8 TRILLION
Physical balance is linked to longevity. Those who can stand on one leg for a period of time, tend to live longer. LOL! Stand like a flamingo, for :30 seconds, on each leg.

In this episode, I have a conversation with Adina Glickstein, a writer and editor working between the worlds of art and technology in Berlin. She writes a monthly column about internet culture for Spike Art Magazine, and co-authored a chapter on the infrastructural history of Ethereum for On NFTs (forthcoming from TASCHEN, 2022). She has guest-lectured to students learning about blockchain at the Royal College of Art (UK) and Merz Akademie (DE), and moderated a panel about crypto and art history at NFTBerlin 2022. With full transparency, she is also my daughter! Listen in as she tries to help demystify lingo and laughs with me as we seek to learn new things together.
