Hey Boomers 👋 If you’re reading this, you’re part of something special. This community is a unique mix of two worlds: 1. Long-time viewers and subscribers from the What’s Up Boomer YouTube channel… 2. …and new friends from the Skool platform, curious about what’s possible in this next season of life. While everyone’s path here is different, two core passions are pulling us together: ✅ Exploring the journey of creating a YouTube channel (yes, now is a perfect time to start — no matter your age) ✅ Making the most of how life has turned out — especially in this “retired, but not done yet” phase This is a space for honest conversation, creativity, trying new things, and finally doing the stuff you said you’d do once you had the time. There are no silly questions. No wrong starting points. Whether you’re hitting upload for the first time or just want deeper purpose in your days, you belong here. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be adding more ways to connect, learn, and support each other. For now, jump in and introduce yourself with a twist: 👉 What’s one thing you always thought you’d do in retirement but haven’t yet? Or 👉 What's one thing that was unexpected once hitting your retirement age? Let’s start dreaming out loud — and maybe doing something about it. Welcome 💛

I'm sitting in a Starbucks here in Cebu, Philippines. And there's a young person using an Apple Pencil with his iPad. I have an Apple Pencil for use with my iPad, but I tried it once and it just felt difficult and uncomfortable. I asked him to tell me about how he uses it and what he thinks about it. He said the same thing a couple other people told me about the Apple Pencil – that once you get used to it, it's life changing. He's obviously a smart guy as he's in school and studying medicine. I am motivated when I get back later this week to commit to using the pencil with my iPad at least once each day. What is it about sometimes being either stubborn or unwilling to try something new the older we get particularly with new technologies? Are you this way with any either technology or tool you want to use but haven't really learned how to use it? (BTW) I uploaded my newest video on the channel using only the Filmora app on my iPhone. I LIKED it.

The world is a big place ... and on the side of it that I am on it's Nov 27th — Thanksgiving Day! Hope you have time to spend today (tomorrow) with family or friends ... even if it's only a phone call (as I will have with the kids and grandkids). Taking time to give thanks ... means there is something to be grateful for. Think about that.

So I just signed up for some new courses in Davinci Resolve and as part of those lessons, you get lifetime access to their 'Community'. Well guess what they run this community in? Skool. I thought that was a cool cross over. So if you are interested, it's one of the better Davinci Resolve teachers out there, Casey Faris. Over at GroundControl. They of course have a Black Friday sale up and active right now in case you need some training courses. I do recommend Casey's tutorials. But anyway, just something interesting that just happened.
