Another great message from Joy form the is episode: “My favorite advice is to invite people to go make friends with someone 30 years older. Listen to them. Ask them questions. Learn. And be a friend. It will change your life.”
Now a best-selling author, keynote speaker, long-term care strategist and so much more, Joy is changing lives every day. Enjoy the episode!
