Connect with Jean Kuhn: Running your business is no different than running your family. You need a daily plan or everything goes to hell. I became a mom and an entrepreneur at the exact same time, April 29, 1985, at 8:52 p.m. The moment they put that first baby in my arms I knew I was not going back to a J-O-B I hated, so I just started a business. When I gave my notice to the company I worked for, they offered to put a computer in my house (in 1985 no one had home computers), make me an independent contract, increase my pay, put a computer in our home, and let me work from home. I was one...

info_outlineOur Kickass Boomer of the Day is Douglas Hughes, a retired postal worker and political activist famously known for flying a 250-pound ultralight gyrocopter unauthorized to deliver 535 letters to each member of the Congress. Landing on the west lawn of the US Capitol Building in 2015, he served four months in prison and lost his job afterwards. Why he had no regrets for what he had done is something that Doug proudly shares to people in his activist work, and he is kind to drop by our podcast to talk about it and more.
