Jimmy Bratsakis, a 63-year-old project manager and corporate trainer who has spent most of his career meeting and teaching people from a wide variety of backgrounds, is not only an astute observer of human nature and behavior, but also a passionate consumer of all that life has to offer, especially now that he has entered the second—and best!—half of his time here on earth. Forever in search of what he likes to call “that mystical ball of twine,” Jimmy possesses a zany and frequently off-kilter sense of humor that he uniquely combines with blunt honesty and the genuine desire to help others suck out all the marrow of their lives.
In The Next 50, Jimmy offers his humorous take on life’s second act, reveling in its amazing opportunities, amenities, and experiences while also bemoaning the laugh lines, back pain, and urinary frequency that comes with them. Listen as he tackles anything and everything midlife— from retirement and raising your elderly parents to medical maladies and money management to sex, cigars, and single malt scotch—and welcomes fascinating guests who are likewise quirky and irreverent, but mostly just plain insightful when it comes to discussing the joys and challenges of acquiring your second wind.
