It’s too late for a lot of things for me. I just turned 60 and I have a new Achilles tendon issue; my back has been hurting in so many different areas; I had just healed my shoulder. So, it’s probably best to accept that there are certain things—such as being a professional tennis player or ultra-marathoner—that I’ll never be able to do. You might be in the same situation: you may feel like it’s too late to meet certain goals.
And you’re right.
In this episode, I explain why it is too late to do what you’re passionate about—and why you have to start doing it now. I reveal various setbacks that prevent you from taking your first step toward your goals. I also share opportunities I missed years ago and the things I’m just starting today, even though I could have begun sooner.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
