The Ageless Pursuit: Chronicles of Late Bloomers and their Entrepreneurial Triumphs
Have you ever wondered how trusting your inner voice and instincts can shape your life's trajectory? In this rollercoaster ride, I'll be talking about my upcoming solo series, Love You, Miss You, Bye, and how listening to my inner voice guided me on a path of personal and professional growth.
Let me weave stories from my life about the pulse of communication, the symphony of listening, and the harmony of performing. I'll take you down memory lane to my days of cheerleading tryouts and choir choreography in Texas, sharing how these experiences fueled my passion for performing. I'll share tales of my supportive mother, who held my hand through every step, every fall, and every rise, demonstrating how love and encouragement from loved ones can ignite the spark of pursuing your passions.
Lastly, let's walk through the chapters of successful entrepreneurs who discovered their true potential later in life. From the founder of Geico at 50 to the creator of McDonald's at 52, their chronicles serve as a testament that age is just a number when it comes to chasing your dreams. You'll hear about powerful female entrepreneurs like Toni Morrison, Martha Stewart, and Kris Jenner, who soared to great heights in their 40s and 50s. These narratives underscore that it's never too late to unfurl your passion and turn your dreams into reality. Tune in to this journey of exploration, transformation, and inspiration

Thank you for Simply Vibin with us!
So when your best friend says you need to have a disclaimer in the beginning of your podcast because the lawyer in her is Scurriman, you do it. Here's my disclaimer I am not a doctor, I am not a therapist, I am not even an expert. I am you. I am bringing information to you as I see it, but don't take my advice. Make your own choices and make them good choices. On with the show.
Speaker 2:Welcome to the podcast where we talk about cannab Community violation, codegreen plant Shhh.
Speaker 1:Hi and welcome to my solo series with me, christy Chanel. I am really glad you came back. I am so glad because I'm still finding my way. I'm still figuring out who I am in this whole thing. It's fun, it's like therapy for me.
Speaker 1:I will tell you, the last episode that I released, I was super uncomfortable with it. Like there were. I cut out at least a good 20, 25 minutes of that episode. It's just, it's so scary. It's scary.
Speaker 1:You get to talk in and you're literally talking to yourself and then you realize it's not only for yourself. This isn't a diary. This is a platform to talk to other people and to share your life. So I do realize that I have to get more and more comfortable with it, but my last, I couldn't.
Speaker 1:I think I get the most uncomfortable when I am talking about very real people in my life or people that have been in my life through the years, because they impact me and they play a role, whether they know they play the role or they don't know they play the role. I know they play a role and I'm trying to share my experiences, but I get nervous when it involves other people. I just do. You know what I mean. So those are the parts that I cut out from last week's episode, the parts that were like, not very nice, and it's not that they were bad, it's not that they were cool, it's it's that I know them. I know them and I'm about to speak on something that happened back in high school yeah, long time ago Still really mean girlish. So I just I think that's where I get the most nervous when I talk about other people that are real, that are in my life. But it's my story, right. I shouldn't feel that way. Yeah, and I'm not naming names, I'm not naming names, but still, it's like the Taylor Swift Easter egg effect. It's like I drop an Easter egg here, I drop an Easter egg here, and then if anyone is listening that knows me is going to try to put those pieces together, or they already know and they're going to go tell that person. So it's just, yeah, it's a little hard, I will get past it, because I plan on talking about everything on Love, you, miss, you, bye, but not necessarily here. So I'm cutting out a couple of things, yeah. So, anyway, last week's episode was a little bit scary, but I cut it out, so it's not scary anymore.
Speaker 1:So, anyway, today I wanted to talk about. You know, this chair is squeaky, so I want to apologize ahead of time. It's a squeaky chair and I am. I talk with my hands and I move around a lot, so the chair may get a little squeaky throughout the episode, so I want to apologize for that. But that means you know I'm very passionate about what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:So today we're going to talk about finding your path and becoming an entrepreneur. That I know is inside you. My path was completely filled with crossroads. I could go left, I could go right or I could go down the middle, and these choices have completely shaped who I am today. Of course, at the time and when you're going through it, you don't even realize this choice will change your future, but it absolutely does, and that's one of the things I tell my kids. You know, make good choices, just make good choices.
Speaker 1:And that was originally going to be the name of this solo series, because I truly believe in that. You know, I just do so many things I have done have led me down this path and I let go and, as I'm telling you guys, I'm like going through all these things that have led me here and it just becomes even more and more clear. I am exactly where I'm supposed to be, and so are you. So maybe today it might get some of those juices flowing where you can start to see if you haven't already figured out your path, maybe where you're leading and where you should be going towards, because that inner voice is guiding you somewhere. It's guiding you. It's not just the crazy person in your head, it's guiding you. And now I know that and I believe in that and I'm going to listen to that. I haven't always listened to that, so I know it sounds like I have. I absolutely haven't, but I know that I'm supposed to be here. And for the very first time, when I spoke about having my, my solo series, my own podcast called Love you, miss you, bye, everything in my body told me this is right. I got chills, I cried. I literally cried for two days. I know that sounds absolutely insane, but I felt everything in my body saying go, and I listened to it. Now I don't know what's going to happen over there, I don't know, but I know I'm supposed to go down that road and maybe that's not the finish line for that. Maybe there's something else that I'm getting to. But that sure is very, very close to where I'm supposed to be, or I don't think I would have gone into that that full body experience that I had once. I realized that's my mission. So I have my mission here as code green plant with my co-host, phoebe, and now I have my solo mission on Love you, miss you Bye, starting January 1st. So that makes this episode three of the countdown. So we are on three and it's getting closer and closer.
Speaker 1:So at home I'm coming up with, you know, that little thing, that little picture that you have on a podcast where you're scrolling and trying to find a podcast. So for us it's that little. It's that woman that has her her lips and they're like shh and it says code green plant. I made that. I made that on Canva, really really good place. I don't like to use the templates because I don't want to be like everybody else. So I like create from scratch and that's exactly what I did there, like I made that whole thing myself and I love it. I'm kind of I kind of love it because it's it's I don't know, I don't know, I can't explain it, but I really liked it and I haven't heard anybody say that it sucks. So we'll go with that. We'll go with that.
Speaker 1:But last night I was sitting there making my picture for Love you Miss, you Bye, and this is probably my fifth or sixth. I am becoming a bit of a perfectionist on it because I just I want people to stop and listen and I don't want to look like everybody else. With that being said, I was listening to a different podcast the other day and they're talking about podcasts and you know what you should do and what the picture should look like, and she's like yeah, you know, no, she's like. Everybody has bright pictures and colors and lots of words, and it's. They all look the same, she's like.
Speaker 1:But then there's this one podcast where it's muted colors and it's very basic and very, you know, just just peaceful. I guess that's a good word peaceful, muted colors, you know, beiges and whites, and it's just, it's very aesthetically pleasing and that podcast is super popular. So then I got all inside my feelings and I'm like you know, I am not a muted person at all, but I tried to make a muted picture last night and it's beautiful. It's really, really pretty and it's aesthetically pleasing and it's got the daisies, which is an important thing for me in this podcast because it reminds me of my mother. But my mom did like the white daisies, but I like the orange daisies and the reds and the peaches and the yellows and I'm a very vibrant person. So my picture has to be that and I'm sorry if it's like everybody else. I can't help it. I have to have those bright colors because that's who I am. I am bright and I like people around me that are the same, because it just makes us brighter together. So, needless to say, I did not end up going muted colors and hopefully the material is good enough to bring somebody in. I guess we'll see.
Speaker 1:Today we're going to talk about those paths, those paths that lead you to your direction. I was thinking back oh, here goes that chair, again, that squeaky little chair. I was thinking back to when did I realize that I wanted to be a performer? And again, this isn't a performance. This is really who I am. People call me dramatic, like my stepmom said the other day. She's like I really like your podcast, it's just very dramatic. And then I'm like oh, isn't that who I am? I'm very dramatic, I'm very over the top.
Speaker 1:I talk with my hands. I'm a full body communicator. That's me. Okay, if I could coin myself anything, it would be a full body communicator. I just get really into everything, and that comes from my mom. But not only is it my mom. She has three sisters that were all the same way, all of them. So I go to visit them and it's like having my mom there because everybody's like hi, oh my God, the excitement they give you when they see you is just. It feels like home. You know what I mean. That's, that's what I know, that's what I love. It's like when it's somebody's birthday, they'll call and they'll sing, you know, and when it's somebody does something really great, they'll, they'll get excited for you. My mom was that person. So of course, I want to be that to my kids and to my friends, and so if people call me dramatic, they'd be right and I'd be okay with it because I am completely.
Speaker 1:I think it's one of the things about me that I own, I accept and I like, and I know right now, are you thinking in your head, what is it about me that I like? You know, are you that dynamic person in the group? Are you that muted person in the group? Because they have a place to every personality in a group really makes the group who they are. You're going to have that one person that's. That's in your face with love, but they're in your face. They tell you exactly how they're feeling. That's not really me.
Speaker 1:I wait for somebody to ask my opinion before I give an opinion Like I've learned that about myself. It's. It's never any good if you give an opinion and they don't want it. But you have that person typically in the group where they're like you know, I really don't like your boyfriend, and they are probably right and they probably have a lot of reasons not to like your boyfriend. But I kind of love those people too. I kind of need that person in my life as well, because sometimes you don't want to hear what they have to say, but they're not afraid to say it and I would rather have that person in my life than somebody that doesn't tell me that you don't like my boyfriend. Do you know what I mean? But that person plays a role as well, because sometimes you just want to talk and you don't want to be judged or you don't want a solution, to want a solution. Typically that's a lot of women are like that, you know, like when you're talking to your spouse and you say, oh my God, this happened at work today and I can't believe they did that to me and they know that, and you're just venting about it and the spouse will say, well, okay, so then this is what you need to do and you really don't want to hear a solution, you just want to frequent and that's okay. There's this place for that person in your life. That's just going to, just going to listen to you.
Speaker 1:I'm a really good listener. I know it's hard to believe because I'm a talker, but I'm a very good listener. I'm also a manager to nine people. So I have nine people on my team. They come and they have weekly meetings with me and they will have a time where they just sit there and they talk and I listen. I just sit there and listen because I want to know what's going on in their lives, because it directly impacts their job. So I'm both.
Speaker 1:I'm both a listener and a talker. You know, once it's my turn, I can. I can spit it out, I can let you know exactly what's happening, but they have to ask for that. I definitely am a type of person. You got to ask me for my opinion I'm not going to just throw it at you and in any case I'm that dynamic I don't know it's dynamic that sounds so into myself. I'm not okay. I'm that vibrant person in the group. So I was thinking back. See again, I don't know how I got there. I am just all over the place in this podcast. Try to keep up. Just try to keep up with me. My friends do they try to keep up with me. Okay, so I was thinking back to the performance side of myself, and I can take it all the way back to three or four.
Speaker 1:My mom was a single mom at that point in time and she put me in this like nursery school type thing. It wasn't kindergarten because I was too young for it, but it was like a paid daycare slash nursery school. And in this nursery school I think it was called chimney rock. It was in Texas, I think it. I yeah, I think it was chimney rock. Anyway, I remember she dropped me off and she, you know, I'd be dropped off with breakfast and chocolate milk and then I would go to class and in this school they would have these break off things that you could go to, like swimming or dance or just different things like that and I told my mom I wanted to do the dancing. Of course it was a little extra money, but she, she scrounged the money to make it happen and I got to do my first dance class and I specifically remember tap class. I went to tap class.
Speaker 1:Here I am, this three or four year old, in my shorts and sneakers, and I look around and all these other kids have tap shoes on. I have sneakers. So all you hear from me and every time you do shuffle, step, shuffle, step. You know normally you'd hear tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. For me it was screech, screech, screech, screech, screech, screech. You know that that sneaker on the gym floor sound right. Well, I didn't care. I loved it so much. But I did look around and say, gosh, I want to have those one day. I really want those tap shoes one day. And then the day came where I got them. I was so excited. They actually had like a little heel on it, so I was like I just felt like a mad ass. I really did. I was probably 10 at that point when I got my first pair of tap shoes. They were beautiful. They were just so beautiful and I just felt so special to have them because I knew what it was like not to and I just wanted to make that tap, tap, tap sound. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:So I danced and I did jazz and tap and ballet for probably about 12 years. I did end up dropping ballet from my routine. I just never really liked it. I never really liked it. But it was too slow for me, go figure. It was just too slow for me. I wanted to move, I wanted to shake, I wanted to hear the music and vibe with the music and, yeah, everything about it. Just I loved it. I loved it.
Speaker 1:Then I got into gymnastics a little bit because we ended up, I ended up trying out for the cheerleading team and I did not make it the first time, which was devastating. But the really cool part about that whole memory of not making it was my mom. Honestly, it's those times where you fail that you really see who's there to lift you up and maybe that's why I love lifting people up in general. My mom was there, so I didn't make it. She pulls up, I get in the car. I'm like I didn't make a shoot. I told her I'm like I didn't make it. She's like you're lying. I'm like no, I really I really didn't make it and she couldn't believe it. She didn't believe me. She was like there's no way and honestly, if we're being totally honest, I didn't know why I didn't make it Like I thought I did good enough to make it.
Speaker 1:I actually pinned it on my shorts. I know this sounds crazy, but I didn't have black shorts for the cheerleading tryouts. I think we had to wear a white shirt, white sneakers and black shorts, and I didn't have any. So I had to borrow my dad's black shorts and I rolled them up on my waist and so I kind of looked probably homely a little bit, trying out for that year's squad. But I was able to do everything Like I had what I thought was the ability to do it, but maybe I just looked like awkward, I don't know. I still don't know.
Speaker 1:But regardless, I went home. I told her and she's like OK, chrissy, stand up there, show me exactly what you did. So I did the routine over and over and she's like OK, I don't see anything wrong with this. I'm like I don't either. But she's like but you got to practice, you did something. Maybe you didn't smile enough, maybe you weren't loud enough. You need to keep trying.
Speaker 1:So I practiced and I practiced and I practiced, and the way the tryouts ran was that we tried out I think it was in, I want to say September, for that year and then at the end of the year freshman year we got another chance to try out for the sophomore year. So at the end of the year I went and I tried out and that time I didn't think I made it. I had the right shorts, though I will tell you that I didn't think I made it. And so I called my mom before we got the results and I was like yeah, I don't think I made it, but she goes well, did you try? Did you give it 100%? I go, I did, I gave it 100%. She's like OK. So she's like all right, I'll come pick you up now. So I'm waiting for the results.
Speaker 1:And then I find out I made it. I find out I made the team and I'm walking outside and I am not over exaggerating the story my mom is sitting there, she rolls down the window and yells to the school because I have to walk the pathway to get to the car. So it's the front of the school building and she goes, did you make it? And I scream and no, no, I didn't even say yes because I was a little embarrassed. I'm not going to lie, I was a little embarrassed. I just shook my head, yes. And she's like, oh my god. So then I ran and I got in the car and she screams and honks the entire way down the street. She's like my daughter made cheerleading and she started honking the whole way down the road.
Speaker 1:And it turns out to be one of my absolute favorite is memories with my mom. That's how excited she got when I did good things and I just know she would be so excited right now with me doing this. She would be watching these episodes. She would be listening to my podcast every single time it was on and giving me advice and trying to get people on it. Like she would have been right here in it and I missed that. But it's OK because I'm going to carry on for both of us. I am going to carry on for both of us. She gave me that. She gave me that. She gave me so much of it that right now I got enough to carry me the rest of my life. That's pretty frickin' awesome.
Speaker 1:I went and I had the cheerleading and then I one situation that happened in cheerleading which I can see now affects, now affects, right, this second. So I'm on the cheerleading team and the captains are the ones that typically went up into the booth and announced like the marching band or the names of the cheerleaders and the football team, whatever it was. They had a script that they had to read at halftime where the marching band would come out, and so, even when we went to away games, we would go in there and we would announce well, I wouldn't, but the captains would announce our squads and our marching band. So, this particular game, we were there and for some reason and I cannot remember what it is, I think one of the captains was out and one of them couldn't do it I don't, for whatever reason that spot wasn't filled. So, miss Schmicki, who was our cheerleading coach and then she later became vice principal, but anyway, our cheerleading coach, she looked at me, she goes, you want to do it? And I was like, okay, why not? So me and this other person went up there and I remember I was like okay, I got this piece of paper out, I'm reading this piece of paper and I go and now welcome your colonial Patriots marching band. And I was so excited and I put such inflection in my voice and I got done and I was like cool, that was like I loved it, I absolutely loved it. So I get down and I walk over and she goes do you want to just do that every time? I was like okay, and she's like that was so good, I would like for you to continue to do that. And I did. I got to do the announcements every halftime Cut to now and I'm doing the same thing, that's exactly what I'm doing. But I had that in my voice, that drama, that extra drama in my voice at 16.
Speaker 1:My junior year I moved to Texas. I moved to Texas and started a new school, duncanville High School. They had a few things here in Texas that they didn't have in Jersey, like dance instead of gym, which I'm going to take that every single time because I didn't like gym. Okay, I'm not that runner girl, I'm not that athletic girl, but I love to dance. So I took dance class and I also took choir and in choir it was just, it was like they had it in tears in Texas. So they had the choir, which was basic. Then they had acapella, which was the next level. Then they had swingers, which was not what you're thinking, it was the show choir, more or less. They would dance and they would sing.
Speaker 1:Well, you know, I saw that because I was entering as a basic, because I had just entered the school as basic choir. You know, I saw a show choir and it was in my sights. I'm like I want that, that's what I want. So we, you know, I sang with them, I did. You know, we're doing all this. And then one day the teacher says to me this is towards the end of the year. He's like Christy, do you want to choreograph our choir number? I must have been talking about how I dance for 12 years or at that point, maybe 11. And he picked up on that and he asked me if I want to choreograph a choir for the show. And so I did. I was like, yes, I do, I want to, I want to.
Speaker 1:So we did kind of this chorus line type show or song. This chorus line type song, you know, one singular sensation, every little step she takes. It was kind of like that. And so I had a million things running through my head. I had no budget. So I wanted us all to look the same. I was like we all need to get black shirts. And then we got this sequence that was like a rope of sequence. So we got these ropes of sequence that were different colors, so that everybody's shirt was a different color, and so we had like suspenders. We got these canes and I put together this routine.
Speaker 1:I remember the one time I'm in there choreographing and I'm like, okay, ready on five, six, seven, eight, that type of thing, and the show group is in this room watching me do this. I guess I'm teaching the grapevine at this point, because later that day they went to the teacher and they're like she stole the grapevine from us and now she's having them do it. I mean, it was just this whole big thing and I'm like can you just leave me alone? Like a grapevine is very standard dance, like I don't need your permission to know how to do a grapevine. But they didn't know who I was and they thought that I was trying to steal their spotlight. I mean, yeah, of course. Of course we were, but it felt really good because it felt like we were the group of misfits.
Speaker 1:The choir was like the lowest in the totem pole, you know, and we got to perform and we got to do the show. And I did not get to be in the show because I was failing something. I wasn't a scholar, let's just be real. I wasn't a scholar, I was failing something. So I never got to really dance in the show. I still got to choreograph it At the show. You know, of course, my mom and my stepdad come to the show and I'm proud of it. You know, because I'm in the living room, of course, I'm making it up in front of my mom and I'm like, okay, what if we did this and what if we did this? And she's like, yeah, that's good, maybe you should try that, like she was always my partner in this kind of stuff. The group of girls, the choir they got me these balloons and flowers and said thank you. It was just the sweetest thing. I loved that feeling of making something, making a show. And it's another street on my path which is me now making a show, coming up with themes, going home and editing it and making it a show. It's just my worlds have all come together.
Speaker 1:I say this to tell you that I know that you have these paths in life. What do you want to be? What do you want to do? What are you doing right now? Does it fulfill you? Are you like me, sitting at home at 43 looking around at the walls saying what do I want out of life? What do I? What's next for me? Who am I? What do I like? Are you that person?
Speaker 1:Because if that's you, I'm telling you you have a path to, and your path has to be determined by what your passion is. Think back right now to all the things that you've done that have given you that spark, that, that knowing of God. If I could do this every day and make money, I would do it. That, that that's your moneymaker, and I know you're like well, I can't make money at that. That's I've tried. I can't make money at that. Yeah, I can. You absolutely can, because if you have a passion for something, the money follows it.
Speaker 1:Listen, I don't have any money right now. I don't have any money. I'm paying, literally. I'm going to be paying for two podcasts, two. One of them, just one part of one, is like $44. So now it's doubled. So now just that one thing is $100. So I spend about $200. Now I'm gonna have to spend $400. I'm not making anything. The money will follow because I'm on my path and I know it. Same is for you, the same is for you.
Speaker 1:So, because we're talking about that, I decided to pull entrepreneurs Entrepreneurs because I don't know how old you are. Okay, I don't know how old you are, but I know I'm 50. So I'm obviously going to connect with people in their 40s and their 50s and their 60s, that type of group, because it you would think that our group, our age group, isn't out there finding their passion and becoming entrepreneurs and starting a business and becoming founders. But I have paperwork right here that tells me different and I wanted to share it with you. So let's see what I found out. Okay, so I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 1:I looked and first these lists only had men on them. They were. It was just lists full of men, which is fine, and I'm going to tell you some of them, but it kind of broke my heart. I'm like, where's the freaking women and where are those lists? Because I know majority of the people that listen to me are gonna be women. If you're a man, I do have men on the list. So stay tuned, because there are men on the list if you're in your 50s and you haven't figured out your passion. So the first one. So, basically, what I had to do is I had to go looking to find female entrepreneurs that were over 40. So I did for you. Here we go, okay. So the Geico founder you know the insurance with the little lizard guy yeah, he, leo Goodwin, actually started Geico at 50 years old my age right now and I think he's doing quite well. He's probably super happy he did that. So that's one.
Speaker 1:The next one is Harlan David Sanders, otherwise known as Colonel Sanders, and KFC. How old do you think he was? I'm gonna let you guess. You get two seconds 62., 62. I still have 12 years to go for that, okay.
Speaker 1:Then we have Christian Dior. I mean, we all know Dior. He was 41 when he started. Christian Dior, 41. Okay. Then we have Sam Walton Walmart he was 44. 44. What are we doing, you guys? What are we doing? What are we doing? E-trade, so I guess it's like a trading service. I've seen it, I've seen the commercials for it. I've never used it. But Bill Porter, oh my God, he was 63. 63. Henry Ford Everybody knows I drive a Ford, people I drive a Ford. So without him, I wouldn't be driving a Ford right now. And my son, who's a locksmith, who makes keys and does the electrical panel to help people get in their cars and such and all these other things. He tells me Ford is one of the best, hardest to break into. So thank you Henry Ford, who started this at 49. 49. Then we have Ray Kroc McDonald's. He was 52. 52. Okay, let's talk about some women now.
Speaker 1:Toni Morrison she wrote her first novel, the Bluest Eyes, at 18. The Bluest Eyes at age 40. But she won a Pulitzer Prize at 56 and a Nobel Prize at 62. So she put the grind in at 40. She wrote her book and then she won all these other accolades for it. It doesn't happen overnight. It's not a short game here, it's a long game.
Speaker 1:And if you love something, it doesn't feel like it's time at all. How many times have you done something that you enjoy and the time has gone so fast? Because it's not like work? If it's not like work, it's going to go fast, and I bet you. The time went fast for her too.
Speaker 1:And then everyone knows Martha Stewart. She made her first cookbook at 41. Yeah, I mean, everyone has seen much. She's got her own cookware. She has a show with Snoop. She's gorgeous and, yeah, 41 is when she got her start, 41. And now she is still grinding it out. She keeps working. I really like Martha Stewart. Okay, vera Wang. Vera Wang she did not enter the fashion world till 40. 40. I actually wore a Vera Wang dress for one of my weddings. Yeah, one of them, laverne Cox. She is an actress and a trans right activist. She was cast in the Netflix show Orange is a New Black at 41. Then she was on the Times cover at 42. And she was nominated for an Emmy at 45., 45. She put the work in and really it didn't take her long at all to get to where she was. So, laverne Cox Okay, everybody knows this person Kris Jenner. Kris Jenner, she did not get her wings until 52, when she pitched the Keeping Up with the Kardashians to a Ryan Seacrest that we all know from American Idol. And now look at her. She's like a gazillionaire.
Speaker 1:Julia Child, another famous woman. She wrote her first cookbook at 50. You know, she probably had all this experience cooking and she loved it and she's like. You know what. I'm going to put out some recipes and maybe somebody will check it out and want to cook one or two of them. No, julia, everybody wanted to cook them. And now she's a household name Betty White. I love her, I've always loved Betty White.
Speaker 1:She didn't join the Mary Tyler Moore show until 51. Holy crap. So she started basically. I mean, she was in a lot of stuff before that, but she didn't become like famous famous until 51. That's incredible.
Speaker 1:Laura Ingalls Wilder published Little House, which is later known as Little House and the Prairie, which we're all familiar with. So she published Little House, her book, at 65 years old. I wish I was a writer. I'm not a writer, I'm a talker. Anna Mary Robertson Moses, otherwise known as Grandma Moses, and she began her painting career at 78. 78. In 2006, one of her paintings sold for $1.2 million Million.
Speaker 1:So I mean, the whole point of this list is to tell you that it really doesn't matter how old you are. If you have a passion and you have a dream, you can do anything. That is the greatest thing about living here is that we can pursue the things that mean something to us. We can, and you don't even know how to do it. See, that's the great thing.
Speaker 1:I don't know how to podcast. I'm learning and I feel like I'm getting a little better as I go, but I don't know how to do it. I didn't know how to do it. I didn't even know how you. How do you even get your little show to iHeart Radio? How do you get your show to Spotify? How do you get your show to Apple Podcast?
Speaker 1:I had no idea how that happened. None, I had to go read and I had to go figure it all out. I joined groups, I had to ask people, but what I learned was it's not that hard. It's not that hard. So if that's something you choose to do, it's not that hard, and feel free to email me and I will walk you through it. I got nothing to hide. If you want me to talk about how podcasts work, I can do that too.
Speaker 1:I've got a lot of knowledge. I have a lot of knowledge. Actually, I still don't feel like I'm an expert at anything, although I have a lot, a lot of knowledge, so I think it's important that I share it with you guys.
