He wasn’t a guru. He didn’t have charisma. Honestly, I didn’t even like him. But the way he handled a disaster—calm, accountable, no excuses—stopped me in my tracks. In that moment, he taught me more about leadership than any seminar, book, or pep talk ever could.

In this episode of Old Guy Insights, I share the story of the leadership lesson I never saw coming—from the person I least expected. It’s a reminder that mentors don’t always arrive with titles, trophies, or TED Talks. Sometimes, they show up with coffee breath and a spreadsheet—and still manage to change how you see the world.

Because if you pay attention, the people you least expect might just teach you the most important life lessons. You just have to start observing.

I got a one-star Amazon review that said: "This product does not work as intended."
The product? A book.

That review was frustrating… until I realized it hit closer to home than I wanted to admit. In this debut episode of the Old Guy Insights Podcast, we’re talking about expectations, disappointments, and how things—and people—don’t always “work” the way we think they should.

You’ll hear a funny true story, some sarcastic reflection, and a little wisdom about failure, perspective, and learning to let life unfold without needing everything to go right.

If you’ve ever been disappointed, misread, or left a one-star review on something bigger than a book… this one’s for you.

Gaza is constantly in the headlines, but how much do we actually understand? 🤔 Who owns Gaza? Why is Hamas in control? Why can’t Gaza just be its own country? What happens if Hamas is removed?

I dug deep into the facts—so you don’t have to. No politics, no fluff—just a clear, fact-based breakdown of Gaza’s history, leadership, humanitarian crisis, and future.
