Too Old to Fake It

Too Old to Fake It

Too Old to Fake It is for those in mid-life seeking honest--often blunt--thoughts on everything from online dating; second marriage; examining (and re-examining) career opportunities; family needs; retirement thoughts; and discussing current events, sports, and passions we want to pursue.

P.S....this is an R-rated podcast (we tend to swear a lot...but not at each other).
