Leaving a Legacy for the Next Generation

Many people wrestle with finding purpose as they get older. We give your listeners a new sense of purpose and adventure.  And for many, it starts with their own family members.  We now know that life is not about the younger needing the older; rather, it is about how both need each other.  The goal is to help older adults know that their most important job is just beginning.  We want to empower them to be character builders, friends, teachers, mentors, supporters, and purposeful in all that they do.  It is a culture changer that says, “You have value in the lives of others!”
