A Boomer Salute To Mothers

This week, Dale Irvin, Tim Slagle, and Carolyn Strauss talk with two moms. One is a Baby Boomer Mother and the other is a new Millennial mom. It's a fun interview highlighting the differences and similarities. Why not listen with your mom?

It's All About The Music

This week we discuss music. What we used to listen to and how it devolved into the music of today. Our musical guest is Roy Phillippe, a composer and arranger who has worked with music greats like Henry Mancini. We've also got some more thoughts about millennials and a lot of laughs.

A funny KIND of show.

This week we cover the topic of kindness with kindness guru Tim Gard. He isn't really a guru, or a swami, or anything like that, but he's a funny baby boomer with a new philosophy based on being kind.

The Value - if any - Of A Dollar

As Boomers, we're worried about our money and how we can save more of it. One way is by listening to our financial expert, Dr. Mary Kelly. She retired from the US Navy as a Commander and now commands the interest of Wall Street. Plus, she's funny too.

Another way to save money is to tell all of your friends that you got them a subscription to this podcast as a birthday gift, but couldn't wait to give it to them. Then, subscribe them to this podcast, for FREE, and they'll owe you a birthday present.
