Summary
Andy Frasco and Nick Gerlach launch a new series, Respect Your Elders, with two unforgettable conversations from Kavod Senior Life in Denver.
Vivian, an 84-year-old retired nurse and writer, reflects on surviving a life-threatening illness, reporting on Hurricane Katrina, and why compassion still matters. Michael, a former athlete, award-winning cannabis baker, cookbook author, and entrepreneur, shares stories about success, regret, reinvention, and the lessons he's learned over nearly seven decades.
Two lives. Decades of experience. Plenty of laughs. And a reminder that some of the best stories come from people who have already lived several chapters.
