Living with Intention and Thriving After 60

It is drilled in society that once you age past 60, your life practically stops, but it is up to you to prove everyone wrong and to keep learning and experiencing things beyond the made-up limitations you think your age gives to you.  

Teaching us about how living with intention is all that really matters, I present to you today’s guest, Douglas Sohn - a lawyer whose main intention in life is to help others make their lives a little bit better. He is an innovative entrepreneur who focuses on the study of human potential in order to inspire and aide people to get more out of life. Having six children and a 40 year long successful marriage, his own personal experiences have made him focus on success after 60 and on creating a company that helps others achieve exactly that.

Doug does not focus on a specific definition of success, but he tries to help others achieve their personally-set goals, whichever they may be. Firstly, as a lawyer, Doug values in his practice the fact that he gets to help people in terms of service. Beyond that, after suffering four mini-strokes under 24 hours, he decided, at 67 years of age, that he wanted to become a teacher of the concepts of human potential development for people his own age who, like him, wanted to keep growing past 60.

So, if you’re curious to learn more about what means to live with intention and create a better life for yourself when others quit, then listen to Episode 51 of Rejuvenaging, to find out more!
