Hey, Boomer is a show for people who believe (or want to believe) that we are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.
On the show, we learn together and share stories. We find new beginnings and confront endings and transitions. We are evolving, not retiring.
With our guests, we explore how to make our retirement years the best years of our lives. They share real-life stories of finding purpose, fulfillment, and joy through staying engaged in life, travel, social involvement, adventure, and creative endeavors.
