At first I didn't want to do this interview because for I’ve got a strong impression of AARP - that it's for for VERY OLD PEOPLE, and associated closely with the same audience as those pictured in ads for the "I've fallen and I can't get up," alert device. I understand that will probably be me at some point, but not now. The Stubbornly Young are anything but that stereotyped image.

So, yes, I was hesitant. And more than hesitant, I’m CURIOUS – which IS a critical trait for being Stubbornly Young. I wondered how AARP is managing its brand now that so many retired people are living another 30, even 40 years, with the first 20 or more still NOT the audience AARP branded to reach when it started. I had tons of questions about that, and then, what we can LEARN and how we can benefit from the AARP (beyond discounts).

I met Jeff Power at a songwriters' event in Denver. He was accompanied by 3 other songwriters who were performing their music together - they were good, and watching Jeff, by far the oldest of the bunch, was inspiring! You know from past episodes of Stubbornly Young that I'm contemplating what my life will be like when I step aside from a full-time career. I want to do something creative and fun, and earn some money doing it to keep the financial wheels greased. Jeff Power is a minister turned philanthropy leader, who in retirement has become a passionately active country music songwriter. You'll love Jeff's upbeat energy, and if you are curious about the songwriter's role in the music scene, you'll appreciate hearing what Jeff has learned, and more about his journey pursuing a new passion in retirement. Has he written a hit yet? Listen to find out.

Listeners may know that for over 5 years I've been hosting ProCO360, a podcast featuring world-class Colorado entrepreneurs. Recently I interviewed three such entrepreneurs in front of a live audience as part of a Denver Ventures conference.

Blake Scholl, Founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic, was one of those interviewed and even as I was engaged in our conversation, I thought of you - the Stubbornly Young. Blake is one of the most amazing of the hundreds of CEOs I've met - the way he sees challenges and innovation is inspiring. Led by BOOM, supersonic flight is coming back and this interview will be top of mind when you begin hearing more and more about it. You'll say, "I heard that guy!" Thanks to Denver Ventures and to Blake Scholl for their permission to repurpose our conversation for Stubbornly Young.
