Summary

This is part two of my message to the old heads specifically the men 35 and up. Stop trying to fit in with the younger generation. You ain’t supposed to dress like them, talk like them, or follow their trends. Your job is to set the standard, not chase theirs. Be the example they want to live up to, not the peer they want to hang with. Age with pride and give the next generation something worth aiming at. Show Notes: [00:49]#4 Stop trying to relate to your younger generations [10:09]#5 Be a standard bearer for the next generation. [14:52]#6 Age gracefully.

This is specifically related to men who are 35 and up. So if you're 22, I'm not talking about you talking to 10 year olds. I'm talking to 35 and up men, talking to other men who are under the age of 30. Point number four, this is a very important one.
