Two Old Friends Share their Journeys Helping People Navigate Life’s Changes

Today, on the 5^th anniversary of the 45 Forward podcast, my guest is Dr. Andrea Gould-Marks, a licensed psychologist, entrepreneurial coach, podcaster and seminar leader, based in Arizona—who also happens to be my life-long friend. We’ll be talking about our collective experiences over the years promoting creative strategies through times of change, offering resources and guidance for people navigating life’s crossroads, both personally and professionally. We’ll share  our respective evolutions to where we’ve come today: I, with Roel Resources, moving to podcasting and writing about 45 Forward, my mission to help people thrive with purpose and productivity through the second half of life;  and Andrea, with a unique career as a therapist, creating Lucid Learning Systems and co-founding Boom Talk Media, “to inspire and nurture the human journey with insightful media” as society undergoes the effects of rapid and often unrelenting change. We’ll reflect on the importance of friendship (including our own) and social connection today, and the need for “friendliness” in a culture driven apart by political differences.  And, we’ll talk about our thoughts and hopes for the coming year—as well as how we can plan, adapt and succeed during a time of great uncertainty.
