The Over 50 Starting Over movement
“Over 50 Starting Over” (affectionately referred to as “O5O”) is a free online marketing initiative targeted to people over 50 who are looking to take back their careers and follow their true passions.
Our flagship weekly podcast loosely follows a 3-segment format in one action-packed hour:
- O5O segment: Entrepreneurship/careers
- Metaphysical: Spiritual or religious philosophies
- Current events/politics

A lot of us 50 years old or older have a burning desire to do something career-wise that is more meaningful to us
A lot of us 50 years old or older have a burning desire to do something career-wise that is more meaningful to usPerhaps you’ve felt imprisoned in Corporate America your entire adult life. You made great money and yet feel unfulfilled, so you’re looking for a way to semi-retire while pursuing your true dream of being a business coach, fitness trainer or social media marketer…
Maybe you’re not looking for an occupational change, but you paid your dues and became a valuable asset of business knowledge and experience and you’re ready to leave the stress of big business behind and become an outsourced consultant from your home office.
This course is perfect for those in the trades or auto mechanics that want to establish their businesses online and take more of those clients from your competitors. People certainly don’t use the phone book anymore!
You may have found somewhere along the way that teaching your skills for the benefit of others is infinitely more rewarding than providing services as a drone for a company. And at this point, going out on your own sounds a lot better than being surrounded day in and day out by other frustrated drones.
Perhaps you’ve been an amazing sales person for the past three decades and you’re just tired of chasing quotas and justifying your worth. You feel it’s time to sell yourself and reap your own rewards.
Everyone of us out there has a unique story with a common thread – it’s time to follow our heart. We’re looking at the last third of our careers and we want to feel more fulfilled. My intention is to provide my own years of knowledge and experience to guide you through leveraging the internet to do just that.
