Now is the Right Time to Start Growing Bolder

“What would Marc do?”

That’s a question that Magazine Publisher Randy Noles asked himself when he looked at his future. Randy had always dreamed of getting his Master’s degree, but work and family obligations kept him busy and he never followed through.

Then, when he turned 60, he realized that he’d always have a reason not to pursue his dreams. He needed to start Growing Bolder. Inspired by Growing Bolder’s Founder and CEO Marc Middleton, Randy enrolled in the Master of Liberal Studies degree program at Rollins College. And when he was assigned a project in which he needed to write about someone who’d had an impact on his life, he knew that he wanted to sit down and speak with Marc.

The two share their thoughts on the opportunities of aging, about their belief that the rest of your life can be the best of your life and what Marc has learned from his own journey through and in creating Growing Bolder.
