Making Waves with Buzzy Kerbox
I was born in Santa Monica, CA, but moved to rural southwestern PA when I was very young, maybe five or six. There I lived on a beef cattle farm with cows, chickens, horses, an apple orchard, and a gigantic vegetable garden. Somewhere in my mid-teens a divorce landed me in a teeny tiny ex…
Read MoreWhat I’m Selling (and What You’re Buying)
I’ve been in sales most of my adult life. I spent twenty plus years as a technology salesman, selling networking, datacenter, cyber security, and cloud solutions to companies. I’ve learned to pitch my offerings in the best light possible, to describe how wonderful life would be for the company once they chose our company to…
Read MoreCoach’s Corner – Health Food Imposters

Read MoreChange Yourself – Change Your World with Tim James
I used to think of health as an either/or proposition – either you’re unhealthy or you’re healthy. But I now think of health as a continuum – with extremely poor health on one end, and optimal health and vitality on the other end. And if we labeled this continuum from one to ten – with…

Read MoreThe Happiness Warrior Eric North
Let me ask you a personal question – are you happy? I mean you’re listening to the Over 50 Health & Wellness podcast right now, so I’ll assume you’re at least a little bit happy right now. But are you big-picture happy? I suppose we should define happiness. The dictionary states that happiness is a…

Read MoreThe Godfather of Strength & Conditioning Dan John
I’m a big fan of keeping things simple, of not over-complicating things. I like to take complex concepts and study them and break them down into easy-to-understand chunks. I remember a professor in college once telling me that if I couldn’t explain a concept to a child, that I didn’t fully understand that concept myself. …
