This month, I discuss some thoughts about being an older job hunter. You might be looking for work because of burnout, no further advancement opportunities, or layoffs. Whatever your particular case may be, we have repeatedly seen and been told that job hunting in your 50s and 60s can be more challenging than when you were younger. Well, job hunting no matter what age you are can be challenging. Remember when you were young, and people were not hiring you because you didn't have experience? Now,

EP - 136 Father's Day 2023

The Cool Grandpa Podcast ·

2023/06/16

In this month's conversation, I talk about Father's Day. I think that, for the most part, dads and grandfathers have most of the material things they want or need. Despite what retailers bombard us within the lead-up to Father's Day, I think what Dads value and cherish are experiences either with the family, their friends, or even alone. Experiences are so much more valuable because they are often shared experiences. You or the family may not share them, but they are shared with and often

EP - 129 You Need a Nemesis

The Cool Grandpa Podcast ·

2023/04/28

This month, I want to talk to you about the need for a nemesis in your life. I am not talking about a person here. That kind of nemesis is different from what I want to discuss. The nemesis I am talking about here is that obstacle in your life that keeps you from advancing in a sport, hobby, or some other endeavor you have. We all need a nemesis, something that is pushing against us and keeping us from a goal or desired state. Again, I am not talking about an individual here. The nemesis I am

This month's one-on-one conversation is about helping our grandchildren manage stress. Regarding stress, I know that as grandpas, we have all had our share. Some of us have learned to deal with stress well, and some haven't. I think I am in between managing it well and having complete freakouts at other times. No matter how you deal with stress, as grandfathers, I think that we have a great opportunity to help our grandchildren learn to manage stress. Heck, I wish I had someone in my elementary
