Is it too late for me? - a podcast by Dan Miller - 48 Days

1.  I am miserable at my job because I am on salary and working 60-70 hrs a week and not much time for anything else.  I would love to just quit my job and go pursue my dreams, but I do have a wife and 3 children that I dearly love and need to take care of.   


2.  I wonder, is it too late for me? Is it too late for me to go to school and learn the things I always wanted to do? I don’t know, I feel like I’m too old. It seems like everybody around me knows what they want to do except me. I’m very frustrated. I’m ready for change. I just don’t know what to do.


3.  I am a 60 year old woman; I found out last year I have muscular dystrophy.  My question is in regard to two student loans I took out about 6-7 years ago.  I was trying to get a Master's degree to obtain an easier job that paid well. This is not going to happen. In light of my health condition and financial situation, is there any way to get a student loan forgiveness? 


 


4.  In one of your books you intrigued me by the prediction that there may be more jobs in the future for "people whisperers."  Obviously we don't see the term "people whisperer" in job listings, so could you tell me some types of jobs/positions that require this skill?  What type of personality do they have?  What skills are essential?  What passions might a people whisperer have?


5.  A few years ago, a friend shared with me an idea she had for a cooking product.  She asked me to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which I gladly did.  All these years later, I know for a fact that she didn’t end up taking her product idea anywhere, and I think it has real potential.  Is there a ‘statute of limitations’ on the document I signed, and more importantly, is it ethically wrong for me to try to get this product to market without my friend’s blessing? I don’t want to make enemies, but I do want to make some money!
