Hey there. If you’re 30 or older, you’re in a unique position. You started working before we were all glued to our phones. You remember a time when communication wasn’t just text messages, emails, and social media—it was face-to-face conversations, phone calls, and real connections. That experience is still valuable today, and in many ways, it gives you a huge advantage.
There’s no doubt that technology has changed the way we work and interact. Businesses try to automate everything, from customer service to sales and even personal interactions. But no matter how advanced technology gets, there will always be a place for real, one-on-one communication. That’s where your skills come in. You already know how to connect with people in a way that isn’t just transactional, and that will always set you apart.
Beyond that, we live in a time where work no longer has to be something we do just to get to retirement. Instead of counting down the years until we can stop working, many of us have the opportunity to transition into work that we genuinely enjoy. And that’s what makes the biggest difference.
If you’ve ever had a job that drained you, you know what it feels like to live for the weekend. But when you’re doing something you love, something that truly interests you, work stops feeling like a burden. It becomes something you want to keep doing, even if it takes months or years to build up. That’s why more people are continuing to work into their 60s and 70s—not because they have to, but because they’re finally doing something that excites them.
This isn’t about some step-by-step “follow your dreams” system. It’s about recognizing that if you have experience in something, and you’re genuinely interested in sharing it, you have all the tools available to make it happen. Whether that’s through social media, podcasts, blogs, or other forms of content, the ability to share your message and connect with people is more accessible than ever.
So here’s what I want to know—what’s something you’re working on right now that you’re truly passionate about? Or, if you’re not working on it yet, what’s something you’ve always wanted to pursue? How do you plan to start?
