In this inspiring episode, I sit down with the remarkable Dr. Dan Rubin—a Harvard-trained PhD, former NIH immunologist, transformational speaker, and author of Living with Purpose. At 85, Dr. Dan continues to coach, speak, and live with extraordinary vitality and intention.

We explore his incredible journey from cancer researcher to retirement reimagined—finding renewed purpose through coaching, teaching, and storytelling in his 70s and 80s. His message? “The best is yet to come.”

Whether you're navigating your own midlife shift, caring for ageing parents, or simply want to feel more alive in your daily life—this episode is for you.
