The Jen Marples Show

The Jen Marples Show episode 172 is here!

Summer reruns gave me an excuse to share another fabulous conversation with my friend and longtime colleague and sounding board, Lee Caraher. Lee’s someone I call when I can’t see the forest through the trees. We’ve been going on 23+ years now and I lean into Lee’s zest for life, brilliance, humor, and gregariousness. You are going to love her and this conversation as much as I do! She’s the reason your’s truly had the cojones to go with You’re Not Too F***ing Old! as my rallying cry!

We talk about entrepreneurship, defining success on our terms, staying relevant and adopting an attitude of always be learning - which is critical for everyone in business today but especially in midlife. We also dig into pivoting, getting back into the workforce, stopping caring what people think, and so much more!

Lee Caraher is a seasoned entrepreneur and the founder of Double Forte, a leading national strategic communications agency. With a focus on clarity and positive impact, Lee and her team empower organizations to achieve their goals through powerful communication strategies. As a published author and captivating speaker, Lee shares her expertise on the transformative power of clear communication with audiences nationwide. Her infectious laugh and unwavering optimism underscore her commitment to making a lasting impact in the world of communication.

Lee and I discuss:

• Embracing lifelong learning to stay relevant, energized, and employable..
• Setting strategic boundaries to attract the right clients and projects.
• How to prune the friend garden and get rid of non-supportive people.
• Taking charge of your financial future today to avoid surprises.
• The importance of insurance: home, life, and health.
• Defining success on your terms and not society’s.

Lee Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! to create a life that lights you up, both personally and professionally.
