Boomer Yak - The place for the Boomer Generation!

Let's just say that life after 50 can be as rich and adventuresome as you choose.

If you are in the over 40, or over 50 crowd, you may be looking forward to retirement with great mixed emotions. Or you may already be retired.

This lens is a companion page to the main Boomers Yak page offering a variety of podcast programming in the "click-to-listen" format. You will be delighted to hear and read about the topics. Be sure to come often so you don't miss out. 

By the way.. one of the best perks is the grandchildren (as seen in the photo here). But beware... time with grandchildren can become habit forming. And so far, they haven't discovered a "recovery program" for that addiction.

Coffee and the Boomer Generation
There is something about Coffee!

In fact, not just for the boomers, but even earlier coffee started playing a major role in our lives. But then, Boomers are not ordinary people! Whatever we do, we do with a huge passion. It is simply not possible for us to do something ordinary! Either we do it with a blast or we don't do it at all.

The same is true in the case of coffee. There is something about coffee that has us drawn uncontrollably to its magic.

About Lynn Ward, The Red Hot Mama 

Host of Off the Beaten Path

A leading edge baby boomer, Lynn Ward realized there wasn't a clear roadmap for our generation at mid-life and beyond. Rather than 50 being a time to slow down as for previous generations, for many of us it is a time of exciting new possibilities and a chance to stop and take stock of our lives: to design the next 50 years to be exciting, fulfilling, rewarding - and to have a lot of fun along the way! Since turning 50, Lynn has divorced, started a new career and business, and healed from fibromyalgia. She personifies the baby boomer penchant for life-long learning.

Lynn Ward, Life Coach, holds a BA and a BS from the University of Georgia and an M. Ed. From Georgia State University. She completed Coaching Training and her Executive Coaching Practicum with the Institute for Life Coach Training. In addition she is a Certified EFT Practitioner and a Certified Peoplemap%u2122 Trainer. She has taught school, owned and managed a frame shop and was a Realtor.

Lynn Ward, The Red Hot Mama, believes we each have talents and passions that are unique to us and that ignite our world with joy. Having learned from her own experiences and from mentors of all shapes, sizes and ages, Lynn has a passion for helping others discover their own passions and new beginnings through her coaching, eBooks, seminars and speaking. She has helped others move through the transitions of mid-life more easily, embrace new beginnings with joy, and make quantum changes in their lives when they want.

Do You Want to Be a Star? 

In this world there are many people who have something to say, but they don't have a venue with which to get their message out.

They may be budding, or accomplished speakers, or perhaps they are amateurs with the will to communicate a message that they feel strongly about.

Do you feel passionate about something that has the potential to help your part of the world, or even the whole wide world, if only you could let people know?

Do you have something really important to say and feel you are blocked by the frustration of finding a way to get the message to the audience? And even if you are able to get radio or TV time, those generally have a limited audience. And let's face it. In many parts of the USA and other countries of the world, radio and television reception is still limited if not completely non-existent.

Have you ever dreamed, even briefly, of being a talk show host with an audience of truly unlimited capacity? Of having the opportunity to speak on your subject without fear of someone cutting out the most important part of the message.

Do you have a passion to get your message heard in a way that will do the most good? Then perhaps you should be a podcaster.

"What is a podcaster?" you may ask.

A "podcaster" is a person with a message, who creates a program which can be posted to a website as a "click and play" audio file. Then anyone in the world who has access to the internet may either click-and-listen to the program, or they may download the program to their iPod, computer, or other mp3 format player.
Sounds easy enough, right? But, let's look at the process.

If you want to create you own podcast programming you have a couple of options. You could branch out on your own, purchase the software kits, books, and numerous other equipment and support materials, struggle through the learning curve.

Even if you are a techie-type person there are many new skills to learn and master in the process. Then once you have created your programs you will need to find a venue, a way to make your podcast available for people to locate. And then you will need to announce to your friends how to access it, and find a way t get the information out to the people who need and want to hear the message.

Yes, you could do all of this, and you could get your message heard by a limited number of people, depending on how much you work to promote your program. OR you could join the new revolution in podcasting.
