In this inspiring episode of The Builders Podcast, I sit down with George McGillivray, a true embodiment of lifelong learning and growth. At 78 years old, George has authored two books, proving that it’s never too late to build something meaningful, share your story, and give back to others.

 George takes us through his incredible journey — from working at a petrol station, to mastering sales, to becoming a seasoned marketing professional, and eventually, a published author later in life. Along the way, he shares lessons about perseverance, staying curious, and using your experiences to create impact.

Key Takeaways:

  • Lifelong learning is essential: No matter your age, you can always learn, grow, and build something new.
  • Sales and service skills translate: Building trust, communicating effectively, and serving others are timeless tools for success.
  • Writing builds legacy: Capturing and sharing your life experiences helps others and leaves a meaningful footprint.
  • Never undermine yourself: Age should never be a barrier to embracing new challenges or pursuing dreams.
  • Give back through knowledge: Whether it’s writing, mentoring, or sharing insights, giving back enhances your legacy and impact.

 

Join us as George shares his heartfelt story and powerful advice for builders, creators, and lifelong learners everywhere. Stay positive, folks, and remember — it’s never too late to start building!
