#112: Today on Kickass Boomers we discuss Diane Bruno's many transitions in life and how they made her the fabulous woman she is today!
In this conversation, Diane Bruno, a funeral director, and author, shares the story of her many transitions in life. She also talks about the importance of journaling to help you process your emotions and build your legacy. She discusses how journaling can be beneficial for both oneself and loved ones. Diane also tackles how technology has made learning new things easier than ever and how anyone can access information and courses regardless of age or experience. She believes that boomers make great life coaches because of our life experiences, which make us well-equipped to provide guidance to others. Let’s get to know more about Diane Bruno’s passion. I am an accomplished communications professional who knows how to craft messages that resonate with their intended audience. With over twenty years of experience in the communications field, I have witnessed it all and have been on the cutting edge of constant change. From the advent of the first corporate websites and intranets and throughout the evolution of social media technologies, all organizations have one goal in common, the desire to speak effectively to their internal and external audience. I launched my career at DDB Worldwide (part of Omnicom Group), one of the most influential and sought-after agencies in the advertising arena, with a focus on press materials and releases, executive communications, employee engagement, copywriting, corporate social responsibility, and more. The trajectory of my career has been an interesting and diverse migration. From the corporate communications arena to the funeral industry and back around, the one constant that has endured is my passionate love for the written word. Respect, empathy, clarity, validation, and appreciation need to be a part of every written message. I incorporate each of those into my approach to keeping employees and internal and external stakeholders engaged; they are the principles I live by in every aspect of my life. Join me in this episode and learn why Diane Bruno is a Kickass Boomer! [00:01 - 10:26] Powering Through the Transitions in Life Diane Bruno discusses the transitions in life that made her strong and resilient. Changes can be overwhelming, but trust the plan set by the universe. Diane recommends journaling as a way to be mindful and more resilient during life transitions. [10:27 - 19:42] The Benefits of Journaling Journaling can be a way to release emotions and improve mental health. Remembering what was happening at particular points in time can be done through writing at any length of time. There are many different things you can do at any stage of life, and journaling is a great way to plan out your next steps. [19:43 - 24:15] The Boomers’ Edge on Knowledge and Experience It's not impossible to learn new things, and keeping up with technology is important if you want to stay relevant. Experience is the foundation of being a good life coach. [24:16 - 28:44] Closing Segment Don’t be afraid to take that jump. Connect with us! Links below Final announcements Tweetable Quotes: “Sometimes it's [facing changes] not by our own choice, but the universe has a plan in place, and all these transitions happen in clusters, and that can be really overwhelming.” - Diane Bruno “By journaling, you get to really see where you've been, what your successes have been, what you're most proud of, and what's kind of missing, you know, what you would like to pursue, so it's a great way of tapping into yourself. It is a great way of planning out the future because there is a future, and there are so many different things you could do with so many different stages of life.” - Diane Bruno Email to reach out to Diane Bruno and check out her , , and book . ----- BEE BOLD, NOT OLD.

#96: Have You Ever Thought of Moving To Another Country? Don't Worry Mike Can Help You!
Welcome Back to Kick Ass Boomer, Today we are joined by Michael Cobb. At the height of a successful career in the computer industry, Mr. Cobb left to pursue more pioneering opportunities in the emerging real estate markets of Central America. In 1996, he and his business partner formed a company, Exotic Caye International, to provide loans to North Americans purchasing properties in Belize, Honduras, and throughout the region. As the need for capital outstripped the supply, the mortgage company was converted to an international bank under the jurisdiction of Belize. It continues to provide mortgage services but has expanded its services to encompass the full realm of financial products. Mr. Cobb also saw the need for a regional real estate company that would serve the Baby Boomer consumer with a North American standard product for the next 2 decades. He led the group into real estate development and created a holding company for several properties including a resort on Ambergris Caye, Belize. In August of 2000, Exotic Caye purchased 3.5 miles of Pacific Beachfront property due west of Managua, Nicaragua. This master-planned community hosts world-class infrastructure, homes, and condominium units. In February of 2006, the ECI Development group acquired 1100 acres and 3km of coastline in Costa Rica, setting the stage for expansion into this popular market. Most recently they merged their Belize property with a much larger parcel and have begun to develop 200 condominiums units on Ambergris Caye, Belize. Additionally, Michael has spoken at hundreds of international conferences about real estate financing and development. He has acted as a consultant to The Oxford Club and gives counsel to various real estate projects throughout Central America.

[07:41 - 15:05] How to Actually Do It Right the First Time Mike recommends that consumers change how they think and become more aware when buying property overseas, in order to avoid making mistakes. He recommends the use of the consumer resource guide, which contains questions to ask when buying property overseas. 15 questions to guide those who are interested in buying To remove assumptions and fear when acquiring property overseas Moving to a country with a lower cost of living and higher quality of life is possible if you are on a fixed income and do your research.

Know The Developer: this is important for making connections in a new community and finding resources. Volunteering is also an important way to connect with others and build relationships. [22:10 - 29:05] How to Rule in a Country in Three Days The consumer resource guide is available for free and can be used in any part of the world It works just as well as it does in the Americas Real estate salespeople should rent properties before buying them to test if they like them Most people buy property within two to three years [29:05 - 36:13] Renting is a great option for people who are thinking about downsizing or who are just starting out in their careers.

#92: Would You Have The Courage to Start a Business in Your Sixties, If it was Your Passion?
In Today’s Kickass Boomers we are joined by Kathryne Savage Imabayashi. Kathy is an educator, parent, and coach, residing in Fukuoka, Japan. During a rich career in education spanning four decades, she has been dedicated to empowering children, parents and teachers to be their best and do their best. Having experienced a variety of countries and cultures, both as a teacher and a school leader, her perspective of the critical role parents play in the life of a child has deeply impacted her mission. Since retiring, she has been able to pursue her passion full time. In less than two years she has created a business (), published two on-line courses (The Blueprint:How to Intentionally Parent Your Son & The 7 SuperPowers Parents of Boys Need ), published a book and co-authoring another, and has used social media to share her knowledge of boys (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube). [00:26 – 09:26] Kathy’s Successful Reverse-Her-Vows Journey Kathy is a Canadian nomad who has lived in Japan for 26 years in total. She has 45 years of experience working with children in a variety of countries and cultures. She decided to relocate to Japan after reading James Clavell’s book, Shogun, and feeling a deep calling to move there During her last year in Japan before moving back to Canada, everything went wrong – her applications for university were lost, deadlines missed, payments not received. [09:26 – 18:35] Easygoing Woman finds her dream Kathy chose to marry her partner and try to rewrite history and create the possibility to have a child. Once Kathy was able to try and get pregnant, once that door was opened, her son came into their world very quickly. Once again she had evidence of everything falling into place, just as it was meant to be. Her decision-making process has been guided by her experiences, which have included being an early years/elementary teacher in Canada, Japan and Lebanon and an administrator in Thailand, Georgia, Qatar and Japan. [18:35 – 27:42] Resilience Prevails in Difficult Times The years in administrative positions were very challenging, but from it she learned a lot about herself and about how to overcome challenges Her last position in Hiroshima was a return to working in schools that were not for profit. She later retired to Itoshima, Japan. She is grateful for all the negative experiences in her life because they have taught her lessons that she can use in her current situation [27:42 – 35:00] This woman is sharing her wisdom on how to be a great parent even after you die. Kathy published a book of advice for her son, to be read when he is on his own, for those times when he wonders, 'What would mom say? think?' She felt that it was her responsibility as a parent to share this information with him. Kathy has been busy creating content for social media and online courses to spread the word about her work. The author feels that if she can keep putting out the light of her message, it will eventually fall on someone who needs it. [35:00 – 48:39] Closing Segment Connect with Kathy!

#91: Happy 4th of July & Independence Day America from Terry!
Happy 4th of July! Everyone!, I'm kicking back with a solo episode about the history and celebration of America's independence day. Independence day is a big holiday in America. In this episode, we'll learn about the history of independence day and the important events that took place on July 4th 1776. We'll also explore some of the celebrations that are held on this special day each year. I hope you enjoy this episode! Fun Facts about July 4! The second continental Congress voted for independence from great Britain on July 2nd, 1776. It was revised and signed on July 4th with the last person signing on August the 30th. The first annual celebration on July 4th was held in Philadelphia in 1777 with fireworks, lighting up the sky. Massachusetts was the first state to actually designate the 4th of July as a holiday in 1781. in 1870, the United States Congress finally made the 4th of July a federal holiday Three presidents died on July 4th and all of them were signers of the declaration of independence. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4th, 1826. And James Monroe died on July 4th, 1831. Growing up in Philadelphia I feel blessed to be close to where our freedome began. The celebrations this year started on June 29th and lead up to July 4th. - BEE BOLD, NOT OLD. LEAVE A REVIEW and join me on my journey to become and stay a Kickass Boomer!
