In this episode of Stubbornly Young we’re going to focus on the surprises inside the phenomenon of pickleball.  Of course, you know pickleball is EVERYWHERE, and my guess is that at least HALF of you (LIKE ME) play pickleball either casually – or like an addiction.  Let’s learn more about what’s going on in this world of reportedly more than 14 MILLION players!  I’m fascinated with the growth of the sport, wondering w...

As I contemplate what I want to do when I am no longer a full-time executive, I'm wrestling.  I'm thinking a lot about how I'll want to balance "purpose," recreation, hobbies, learning... and just sitting somewhere in the shade with a nice view having a mircrobrew - sometimes alone, mostly with family, friends and my dog.  

This episode with the authors of Revealing your Next Season gives examp...

For those with little and moderate (me) understanding of artificial intelligence, this episode is loaded with ways to understand the basics of AI and a brilliant suggestion for an easy and effective way get started using AI with any of the available tools out there (ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Copilot, Google’s Gemini, etc.).  Since I recorded this episode and followed Chris Ferris’s suggestion, I’ve quickly become a pretty ...

Rule # 7 of Stubbornly Young is "Learn New Things."  Why?  Because learning new things gives us an overall sense of freshness and excitement - except maybe dancing - the jury's still out on that one for me.  

Brian Reynolds is the co-founder of The Bridge Teachers.  I know, BRIDGE?  Isn't that the game for "old people," not for the Stubbornly Young?   That perception (and sometimes the tru...

I met Mark Shaiken when he was referred to me by a mutual friend who thought he might be a good fit for my podcast. Thank you Cristin Crampton Day! I was intrigued by Mark’s transition from a bankruptcy attorney to author. I wondered just how good of a writer he might be so I replied to Mark asking for a couple of his SIX books to sample. I read with amazement his samples of his two books of essays, “And Just Like Tha...

In the past, I’ve explored Stubbornly Young topics with people who are like us - approaching or at middle age, and beyond. Since my objective with this podcast is to remain relevant to the YOUNGER people in my life, it seemed appropriate to bring one of those voices onto the podcast with me – I thought of Danielle Wallace.

I’ve gotten to know Danielle in the context of work. She’s a consultant to non-profits whose high...

I’m so excited about this episode with Gwendolyn Bounds, author of a book that caught my attention called NOT TOO LATE – THE POWER OF PUSHING LIMITS AT ANY AGE.  Wendy had a life changing transformation when she became passionately involved in obstacle course racing starting in her late 40s.  Like many of US, Wendy had a successful career before she started this new chapter... as an award-winning journalist, an on-air...

"People regret most what they don't try, not what they tried and failed."

Rule 1 of Stubbornly Young is to Embrace and Appreciate the Changing World (blog post). I'm a fascinated listener of Rich DeMuro who hosts the "Rich on Tech" podcast and radio show. It's almost unbelievable to me that he can stay up on so much consumer tech innovation. He generously offered to come on Stubbornly Young to share his ideas about artificial intelligence, apps he uses that substantially...

Staying relevant is a theme of Stubbornly Young and for that reason let's talk about Quantum Computing. 

I tried, I really tried to understand how quantum computing works before I interviewed Rob Hays, CEO of Atom Computing so that I could deliver on the title of this episode. I watched (and you'll hear me share this with Rob) three videos that each billed themselves as an effective explainer of quantum compu...

Kaitlin Borncamp is a professional nutrition and mindset coach and has the official title of the Wellbeing Champion at consulting firm EY. What intrigued Dave about Kaitlyn is that she says the elephant in the room when she’s talking to clients is always aging. Lots of podcasts talk about physical aging, that’s not what Kaitlyn and Dave will be talking about in this episode, however more about mindset as we age.
