JOHN J. TENG, PE, MSCE - Story-view will touch your heart! John J. Teng is the author of 'Hero Mindset', a book that provides a 'map' to help reframe the challenges of one's midlife as an epic Hero's Journey instead of a greek tragedy, and is the Founder of LIVXTRA, a digital publication that inspires men and women to live their lives to the very max! After a long a beautiful conversation with John, I created this 20 minute story-view. I hope you will be entertained, inspired, and brings your life value. The storyview TM is a condensed personal retrospective from the Author, so I included a more detailed explanation here of the book. The Hero Mindset will help shift your perspective from being that of a “victim of circumstance” when traumatic difficulties arise, to instead realizing that your challenges can represent the beginning of an epic hero's journey that you can embark upon. To accomplish this, the Hero Mindset will provide you with a very powerful yet simple-to-understand “map” that will help safely guide you through the seemingly insurmountable obstacles in your life, avoid the potential pitfalls that still lay in front of you, and arrive at the most meaningful and fulfilling “destinations” you could ever have dreamed possible! o Midlife Myths that trip people up, and how to reframe your midlife years powerfully. o Finding Balance and staying sane while keeping so many 'plates in the air' such as one's romantic relationship, children, social life, physical health, finances, peace of mind, and more! o Sex, and how it can be as good if not better than when you were younger! o Cosmetic Procedures, and if they're just the product of a midlife crisis, or a way to keep one's self-image high! o Controlling Your Power, and what John calls 'The Hot Zone', where those in their midlife years can get themselves into dangerous situations (re: affairs, abusing subordinates, etc) where they risk all that they've worked so hard to achieve... and how to avoid them. o Making Changes personally or professionally by taking stock of where you are in your life, where you want to go, choosing a destination, and causing a Midlife Transformation! o Powerfully reframing common midlife transitions such as Unfulfilled Expectations, Longing to be Young Again, and Health and Body Changes. You can find John's book on Amazon and in Kindle Format, which I highly recommend. Amazon Connect with me on LinkedIN ClubHouse: @WendiCooper GreenRoom: @TheWendiCooperShow Find me also on Racket!

My special guest is MARK ANTHONY the PSYCHIC LAWYER® (also known as THE PSYCHIC EXPLORER) is the author of the best-sellers EVIDENCE OF ETERNITY and NEVER LETTING GO. Today it's a live reading with my friend Kelly and me, and collective consciousness from the other side bombarded Mark with messages for both Kelly and me in a very real and it's backed by evidence. That's why Mark is an evidential medium. What is claimed by the other side is backed by evidence of a confirmation. It's wild. Mark is an Oxford educated trial attorney licensed to practice law in Florida, Washington D.C. and before the United States Supreme Court, he appears regularly on television as a legal analyst, psychic medium and expert on the paranormal, after death communication and near death experiences. Mark has helped me in so many ways, and I hope he can help heal your pain of loss by connecting you with the other side and allowing you to never let go. Never Letting Go is recommended by hospices and grief counselors worldwide. This healing and inspirational book is the definitive guide to healing grief with help from the Other Side. This compelling page turner is in three difference languages and is for anyone coping with the loss of a loved one.

Rabbi Leder is a regular contributor and guest on The Today Show, writes regularly for TIME, Foxnews.com, Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper, contributed a chapter to Charles Barkley's book Who's Afraid of a Large Black Man? I listened on audible to The Beauty of What Remains as I drove to visit my 92 year old father and discuss his wishes for his Advance Consent. It was surreal as I felt an immediate connection. The most important document there is and the most ignored. It was my task out of my 6 siblings, because I am the only one that isn't afraid to die. My father said, "I'm not afraid to die ya know, I"m not..." I said. "Nor am I Dad, nor am I." I believe this story-view could very well change your life in 23 minutes, edited from a 45 minute Zoom call where we discussed many things, some very personal for both of us. This is edited, narrated and designed for your listening pleasure - it is not another boring interview, it's a storyView!

Wendi Knox is an author, artist and uplifter - she inspires others to rise up out of the muck and find the light. I have never met someone that I had so much in common with...Wendi with an "I", a fellow Pisces, a past Creative Director, and a career in Advertising, and a pet named Blossom. This is a 15 minute story view from a very open 1.5 hour conversation - I do hope you enjoy the "view". Wendi Knox writes, "My soul longed for something more. Unexpectedly, I was forced to find it when I lost my big fat job at 50. Sobbing in my backyard, I asked The Universe, “Am I too old to reinvent myself? Please give me a sign.” I went for a walk and came home to find my yard filled with hundreds of red dragonflies. I learned that dragonflies spend most of their lives crawling at the bottom of a pond. And in the muck, they grow their magical wings. Their story helped transform mine. And inspired me to rise up and find the gifts in my struggles — from losing my job to almost losing my child to addiction." From Muck To Magic is a one-of-a-kind inspirational book. With heart, art and humor, it takes you on a poetic journey from self-doubt to self-love. Within its colorful pages is a powerful blueprint for transformation. And an invitation for us all to rise up from our personal muck to bring our own unique magic into a world that has never needed it more. The book is wonderful for all ages! 20% Discount Code: MAGIC WendiKnox.com WendiCooper.com ClubHouse @wendicooper Music by: Tom Orsi Editing and Narration by: Wendi Cooper C Spot Run Productions All Rights Reserved
I love the Viking series on TV. There has been no other series, not even GOT, that I have enjoyed so much. Today's story view features Heidi Herman, she is the author of On with the Butter, Spread More Living onto Everyday Life. Carry on, keep doing what you're doing, forge ahead, and keep moving. Icelanders have a saying for it. On with the Butter! If you are looking for new ways to add zest to your life, and keep track, while enjoying a wonderful story of mother and daughter, One with The Butter offers a wide variety of activities and challenges, that everyone can enjoy! This is an edited version of a full length interview of over 1.5 hours - so keep in mind that it has been designed for entertainment, but our conversation was true Viking style. Humor, laughter, poking fun, and exploring ideas and beliefs. Heidi is a vivacious Viking to the core and I am sure much like her Mother who lived to be 93 and was a social media influencer! She lived life to the end like a true Viking. Heidi laughed when she said... "Sure I'm retired, I was tired yesterday and I'm tired today." Heidi is a direct relative of Lief Erikson, Ragnar of Lodbrok, and King Harald I the Fair Hair and the first King of Norway. (I watched the series). Flokie was probably an uncle. I am not sure what' up but I did mu best on the sound design, it could get a bit odd.

Daniel Plotkin, MD has practiced Geriatric Psychiatry for over 40 years - and has a growing concern for the future of Geriatric Care and Medicine. He says, "old people and aging people who think that aging will inevitably lead to frailty and cognitive impairment are at increased risk to develop dementia. Those who think loneliness and depression are inevitable will be at increased risk for clinical depression and suicide. This presents a huge problem as the largest population is growing old fast and yet there will not be enough doctors trained in geriatrics to give the proper care. This episode goes deep into the problem, possible solutions, and what's ahead for the largest segment of the population and the fastest growing.

Carina Roth, 31 yrs. is the Co-Founder of WisR, a Tech meets HR and Social Impact startup based in Vienna, Austria. GrowWisr.com specializes in bringing "Senior" retired talent together with companies seeking to fill positions with Seniors working past retirement. Austria and Germany look very different than what we are experiencing here in the USA, but that is what makes this conversation so interesting. I have yet to find a platform that is anything like WisR has created, although there are a few in the US, none offer the excellent user experience that WisR does. We are all aware that in the U.S. people are being forced into retirement. They are aging-out of their jobs or career choices, and must find a way to supplement their income or reinvent themselves as entrepreneurs, which is difficult to do at any age. The largest difficulty that people over 50 are experiencing - whether it is age discrimination or their resume's being tossed into a trash can by a BOT - is the length of time they are unemployed and the affect it has on so many areas of their life. Carina offers insight into the stereotypes Millennials have about people of age and why. It's fascinating as the reason is so apparent yet I think it is overlooked and it will not be fixed until we have a more intergenerational work culture. Claudia and Carina, the Co-Foundersof WisR are to be admired for their insight and empathy for the growing (aging) population and their commitment to creating a solution that will help all generations to come.

Ashton Applewhite is the author of This Chair Rocks, a Manifesto Against Ageism" - I spoke with her on Facebook Live on July 12th and have taken highlights from that conversation to share with you here. Here is an outline of some of the talking points in this episode. What does it mean: “The bull looks different?" How to reframe your thinking on what it's like to be an "Older" person in your 80's and 90's. Why being overly concerned about your age and seeking the fountain of youth is a form of self-loathing. The defining lines between ageism and sexism in our society today and why it matters. Why it's important to understand and find solutions for ageism on all levels, for the young and the older generations, as we are all living longer lives and society must change also. How our fears about aging are unnecessary and unhealthy. What the most important factors are as we get older that you may not expect. I highly recommend her book which is available in audio and paperback wherever you purchase your reading material. www.thischairrocks.com www.Yoisthatageist.com Instagram @thischairrocks
Blair Taylor has been the "go to" talent agent in Hollywood for TV commercials, infomercial hosts and spokespeople. What happens when the way we consume changes from late night TV and early morning infomercials for the host and pitchmen to 24/7 digital consumption and a very different dynamic. Blair is the owner of Taylor Talent Services and his advice in this episode is truly priceless. Excerpts from a Facebook Live show on April 9th, I've extracted some of the key take-aways from our conversation in this quick listen. What to expect: Did you know that Influencers can be paid up to $450,000 a post? What is the value that your audience that you bring to a brand? Why there are no short cuts to getting rich as an Influencer? Why does an Influencer have to have an opinion. Why being a micro influencer can be better than a mega-influencer and what a deal with a brand looks like. What's age got to do with it!

Unedited, unfitted, and just a Wendi Rant Here! As a Speaker at the International Home and Houseware Show in Chicago on March 2nd, 2019 I was asked to speak on the 5 rules to creating the best website for your product.

The 5 unexpected rules that made so many people very happy!
BOB ROSENBLATT - CEO EVINE LIVE Wow! Evine is 28-years-old and is making a difference in the live TV shopping space with experiential marketing tactics to set themselves apart from the mega-giant QVC and HSN competitors. Learn how on today's show. Although our audio feed was compromised, it didn't affect the power of our discussion on ageism and the changes happening today. Bob's take on why Millennials don't trust us is a new point of view from others I've spoken with. Plus, we get to hear how Jane Fonda at 81 is the super-star celebrity behind Evine's new Health and Wellness line targeted to women over 55. And how discovering a "new" life purpose means getting comfortable with our own mortality. I've known Bob for nearly 20 years, which seems crazy, but it's true. You see, for many years I brought new and innovative products to HSN, QVC, and Evine as the manufacturer/brand rep but also the on-air talent. It's a difficult business but one that I loved because I got to know people like Bob who truly understands the big picture. Talking shop is one of my favorite things to do especially when it's with a schooled and smart veteran of direct response. We do quickly shift to what it's like to be over 60 and the responsibility we have to foster-in and identify how we can help generations to come avoid being victims to ageism. In the end, we all want to find our life's purpose. But Bob reminds us that our purpose changes as we move into the 2nd half of life. What that looks like may be different for each and every one of us, but our collective purpose should always be to leave this earth a better place.
Juliette Watt is 67 years old and has lived a full and exciting life. Currently Juliette coaches those going through Compassion Fatigue and into a life of reinvention, especially those over 50. Juliette was born in London,England and moved to New York to pursue a career that lead her to becoming a Playboy Bunny and landing a gig as a writer for the hit Days of Our Lives soap opera. It was in her 40's when she decided to ditch it all and follow her heart to become an ATP pilot and then a Certified Master Flight Instructor. When Hurricane Katrina hit Juliette was part of the humanitarian effort to rescue over 6,000 animals. A natural speaker, Juliette was asked to speak to professionals in the field of caring for others at the Fargo TEDX on Compassion Fatigue. Without knowing what that was, and after doing tons of research, Juliette realized that she had many of the symptoms. This inspired her to speak on the topic to the medical community at the upcoming TEDX talk of over 3,000 medical professionals and launch her coaching system to help others overcome the devastating effects of caring too much for others and not yourself. Juliette resides in Colorado where she lives with her horses, husband and a spirit for helping others. Click here to be taken to Juliette's website.
If you want to get to know me just a little bit better, or if you don't know me at all, then check-out this quick 6 minute rant on why I changed the name of the podcast from Generation Jones, Too Young To Be Old to The Wendi Cooper Show. Generation Jones - is officially The Wendi Cooper Show! I do love to go off script, if there is one, and to be myself. I have so much wisdom to share with the world, and I have a growing platform to share other's wisdom and stories, so I decided not to muddy the message with a crazy name that no one really got - although I did think it was unusual and cool...when I started, but not so much now. It was now or never to change the name to what it should have been early on. Hey we all live and learn. Plus it's a great way to highlight past episodes and help you make a selection. Episodes 1, 2, 3, 4 are often left behind as new shows pile on top. So make sure to check-out Saul Colt, Heaven an Earth Classic Rock Band, Three Daughters Music (both of the latter have original music performed live in studio) and others as they are very different flavors of life - all with wonderfully powerful messages. The Wendi Cooper Show is meant to target people over 50 and spend time each week with remarkable people who shape our world...I do hope you enjoy the show! I apologize for any confusion on the name...I promise to keep it simple from now on. Thanks!

Her epiphany about life, and aging came at the age of 56 she entered, and won the Over 50 Masters Bikini Competition. Bobbi is a remarkable woman. Now 60 years old she has launched Modern Bodies Fitness, an online transformative series that empowers women to embrace their age and believe in themselves and their dreams! Bobbi reminds us, "We are never too old to go after what we really want out of life. Sometimes we just don't get started until later!" For many women, (and men) moving into the 2nd half of life is a time filled with coping - filled with transitions from divorce to empty nest syndrome and menopause (andropause for men). It can feel like they're losing control. But, by seeing how they have the power over their own body they gain the confidence to take back their personal power in life. This episode is filled with personal truths about aging, and acceptance from two different perspectives. At the end-of-the-day talking about the challenges of ageism in today's society while living in a pro-aging world, is a problem that is not going to go away any time soon unless we confront it and take action. Another remarkable conversation about why we are Too Young To Be Old.

Theresa Danna is a wonderful writer, and copy editor who has written two LinkedIn articles on Generation Jones with over 16,000 views. I discovered Theresa while doing research on this particular generation and thought she would be a great guest to share her research. Here is the article that I enjoyed. Don't Understand Generation Jones? Watch The Wonder Years. In today's episode Theresa expresses her own challenges, which are similar to most in their 50's and 60's, but through a mild-mannered and calm approach to her future as a Jones'r. We discussed life's similarities but also how different folks have different strokes in preparing for the next phase. Theresa's next phase is her dream of writing and reading full-time what she wants, for the first time in her life, and sharing it with others. This episode is 19 minutes long. Here is a link to her website where you can enjoy many articles of on a variety of topics. www.TheresaDanna.net
Wendi Cooper - Host explains the purpose of the Generation Jones podcast, a generation lumped into the latter half of Baby Boomers born loosely between 1954-1964, and her purpose in creating awareness for this 50 million+ segment of the population and the most influential of our time. Every 60 seconds 13 people turn 60 years old. This is where we talk about life's 2nd half. Remarkable conversations with people who have shaped our world.
John Tarnoff is the author of The Boomer Reinvention - How to Create Your Dream Career Over 50 and a career coach for those seeking to do just that. I highly recommend downloading it from Audible as John does a great job reading it with engaging enthusiasm. John touches on the following points that are plaguing an aging demographics of 50 million people today. "What do I do next? "Is it too late? "Where do I start?" "Will I fail?" That's combined with of challenges of age discrimination and bias, discouragement and indecision, low savings and poor job opportunities. John says if you are over 50 and still have a corporate job your days are numbered. He then suggests to start to the reinvention process while you are still at your job, which I have taken to heart. It's no mystery that a large percentage of the population is aging. But what do you do when you are "too young to be old and too old to be young"? It's a growing dilemma that is affecting our well-being and freaking us out as we get older...job security, retirement savings, taking care of adult children and our parents, on top of us still seeking our purpose in life, happiness and fulfillment. That's a lot to handle...but if you are over 50 - it probably sounds familiar. I listened to John's book, and I highly recommend it. In this episode I talk about how it turned the light bulb on for me to realize that I am not alone. I turned 60 three years ago, and at first I was okay...then the uncertainty of where I was headed and that my tomorrows were numbered, so to speak. If you wake up in the morning feeling confused about your career, your future in general, or you just can't seem to pinpoint what's bugging you...you are not alone and this show is for you. The greatest gift that we can leverage at this turning-point is our earned wisdom and the value it brings to the world. The keys to how to transform your wisdom into an encore performance are waiting for you. Johntarnoff.com
Meri Frischman 66, has spent years as a fitness and wellness professional. One day she was searching for activewear and street styles for women over 60 that complemented her age, body type and personality and went from workouts to nights out. It didn't take long to realize that there were no websites specifically targeted to the stylish, sophisticated, urban woman that DOES NOT just want to age gracefully; but, rather dares to age BOLDLY and FIERCELY. I discovered Meri in a similar way...online. While scrolling through Instagram I discovered Meri @pro.age.style (website www.uber.chic.over.60.com ) that's when I was turned-on the activity of men and women over 50 blowing up Instagram. Why would that surprise me? Well, isn't social media suppose to be for Millennials and GenX'rs? I mean, after all, we're old right? We don't know how to use computers to buy things and we certainly can't use social media...the right way... Meri brings to light a fascinating movement on Instagram and shares how it happened to her; how she did it; and what she sees for the future. Meri's believes, as do I, that if we "own our age" and stop saying that "40 is the new 60" but that "60 is the new 60", then we we can age boldly and find our life's purpose. Which may not be at all what we had thought it would be. It's just a crazy awesome topic with another remarkable Jone'r!
