Chinwe Esimai | It's Never Too Late: Finding Success at Any Age

How many times have you come across some "30Under30" list or “Who’s Who” article praising the success story of people under 40? 

They’re everywhere.

It’s enough to make you think that these are the only people making waves. 

What’s missing from the narrative are the success stories of the other 39% of the US population who are 45 and up.

Success isn’t just for the 30 somethings. 

And, I’m going to share some of these inspiring stories with you today.

My pod guest this week is Chinwe Esimai, an award-winning Harvard lawyer, trailblazing corporate executive, sought after keynote speaker, passionate global advocate for immigrant women leaders, wife and mother of three children in her 40s.

Chinwe talks about the inspiration she gained from witnessing her mother follow through on her education later in life. She believes “as long as we have breath in us, we always have an opportunity to live our purpose.”

Today’s episode is about keeping your dreams alive through every season of your life such as...

A single mother of five waits her entire life to complete her education and ends up graduating with her Ph.D. at 60 (Chinwe's Mother!).

Another woman defies the stereotype of aging by placing second in her category in the notoriously tough Spartan races at 70 (my own Mother!).

And countless other stories of folks in their 40’s, 50s, 50s, 70s and 80s doing amazing things that inspire millions around the world.

By sharing the powerful success stories of people who’ve never given up, we’re actively spreading the message that it’s never too late to realize our goals.

This episode will empower you to dust off your dreams and let the current lead you toward your own unique, authentic purpose in life... at any stage of life!
