How to Reinvent Yourself at Any Age with Jay Sargeant

Think you’re too old, too established, or underqualified to begin again? At 79, Coach Jay Sargeant is creating his eighth reinvention after building seven completely different careers. In this episode of the What the Nell!? Podcast, entrepreneur, trainer, author, and self-described patron saint of late bloomers Jay Sargeant shares the patterns that helped him repeatedly build a new life without waiting for the perfect credentials, timing, or circumstances. Jay is the author of Shift: The Gift of Reinvention, a memoir filled with stories from a life shaped by unexpected conversations, bold decisions, business successes, painful endings, and the willingness to start over. 🛍️ This episode is sponsored by Taelor, a stylish and sustainable Menswear subscription service.
