ATG 262: 50 by 50: The Final 27 Lessons I Learned by Age 50

This is it—the final installment of my 50 by 50 series. I've spent four episodes breaking down 50 lessons I learned in my first half-century on this planet (yes, I said half-century). In this episode, I'm covering the final 27 lessons, from "dream big, start small" to why you need at least one Cajun friend. You'll discover why your richest-looking friends might be your poorest, why you should buy an alarm clock and leave your phone in the kitchen, why the opportunity that will change your life often shows up as an annoyance, and why that glass of water on your nightstand at 3 AM is the greatest drink ever invented. Plus, I'll tell you why you should have kids before you're ready, why every industry is smaller than you think, and why you're the cavalry you've been waiting for. Whether you're turning 30, 40, 50, or beyond, these lessons will make you think, laugh, and hopefully grow. You can pre-order my NEWEST book, Procrastination Proof , right now!
