Too Old to Fake It
Too Old to Fake It is for those in mid-life seeking honest--often blunt--thoughts on everything from online dating; second marriage; examining (and re-examining) career opportunities; family needs; retirement thoughts; and discussing current events, sports, and passions we want to pursue. At this point in our lives we are, frankly, too old to fake it, and want to live out our best lives all the while with a heavy dose of humor, honesty, and curiosity. P.S....this is an R-rated podcast (we tend to swear a lot...but not at each other).

Join Patrick and Pokey as they discuss pushing through the holidays, preparing for retirement and what the upcoming year has in store for the listener.
