There is so much wisdom that comes with age, from life experiences to understanding the world on a higher level that only time can teach you. So why don’t we leverage the elderly more? There is so much to learn and understand from older generations, but so many of us have written them off. We want to change that perspective because we want you to get the most juice out of life, and that starts with knowing where to go for the best guidance.We’ve invited Larry Merino on our podcast today.
