Did you know that Adults 50 years of age or older are one of the fastest-growing entrepreneurial groups in the country? Episode #138

Meet Reggie Nance, Associate State Director for Multicultural Engagement for AARP New York, overseeing outreach to African-Americans, and Caribbean-Americans across the state.

The many benefits AARP offers its members

I recently had a chance to interview Reggie on my Six Weeks to Fitness podcast. During the interview, Reggie discussed the many benefits AARP offers its members. The membership is 38 million strong in the United States and 2.6 million strong in New York State. Did you know that AARP provides free financial advice for its members along with free movie tickets and discounted tickets to Broadway shows? Also, people 50 years of age or older are one of the fastest-growing entrepreneurial groups in the country? These facts and much more are shared in this very impactful interview with Reggie Nance.

Reggie believes that age is just a number. On December 14th, AARP will host a panel discussion called “Disrupt Aging in Sports” at the Clyde Frazier restaurant in New York City, from 12 to 2 p.m. I am very proud to say that yours truly, will also be on hand as one of the panelists. This event will bring out former professional athletes from various sports. There will be athletes from boxing, major league baseball, football, and basketball. These athletes will be on hand to answer questions from the audience. They will also discuss the importance of staying healthy and active while playing sports professionally and after retirement.

Reggie holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and American Literature from Brown University and credits his upbringing in a small town called Cordele, Georgia as the impetus for his love of community and why he is such a believer in giving back to the community.
