Michael Hoadley, Director of Real Estate, GlidePath Power Systems - “This book strikes me as absolutely the right message at the right time. Rick’s real-world experience and knowledge comes through, and as I learned fighting cancer almost 20 years ago - Knowledge Kills Fear.”


“Having spent the last 6 years in a startup led by someone who turned 50 during the life of the company, and looking at that birthday myself this year, this book strikes me as absolutely the right message at the right time. Rick’s real-world experience and knowledge comes through, and as I learned fighting cancer almost 20 years ago - Knowledge Kills Fear.”

“Rick is right. The startup culture is decidedly age biased. In the 6 year old startup I’m in now, we’ve all been avid watchers and fans of HBO’s Silicon Valley along the way, and just the first two chapters of Rick’s book has already given me the entrepreneurial idea to find a screenplay writer for our more mature real life version of that story!"

New podcast interview - Humanitarian Entrepreneur

Image
I had a great conversation recently with Tiffany Moore at The Humanitarian Entrepreneur podcast. Among other things, we focused on opportunities for older entrepreneurs (3:27), what are the biggest myths that entrepreneurs face in the second half of their lives (5:04), the Center for Ageless Entrepreneurs, and the importance of teams. (12:18) Among my favorite takeaways was this: "We work in teams now and those with the best teams win. The idea is ot get yourself armored up so you can protect yourself and your family as you run your business. Then get into a team. That's why we're building these networks." - Rick (11:20) Thanks Tiffany for a great conversation! Link to the full podcast is here: PODCAST LINK Tiffany Moore is a Humanitarian Entrepreneur Coach helping activists looking to leverage their passion for change. Learn more HERE .

Our Ageless Startup

Image
Hi. The evolution of ideas surrounding work life in the second half of life has been significant. I started writing my blog - Sustainable Work - in 2005. From that start I wrote most of the book Ageless Startup in 2018-19. Ageless Startup was published by Entrepreneur Press in 2020 - in the same month the COVID-19 pandemic was declared in the U.S. For those of us working in or building one-person enterprises, the economic turbulance of the past few years supports our position. I'm going to use the next batch of posts to capture individual reviews and interviews that I want to be able to reference later. Thanks for following along.
