<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You’re not too old and it’s not too late.”</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s the philosophy of today’s guest, Harry (Rick) Moody, Ph.D. He went from Vice President for Academic Affairs with AARP to proudly retired, engaging in an encore career where he helps small nonprofits grow.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My jaw dropped as I listened to Rick’s ruminations about the world and his place in it.
