It's always going to happen, whether we want it to or not. So invite change into your lives. You may witness...

Of course, generational health begins with me. I've been saying that all along. But a long time, I thought my focus would be on my wife and kids - not anymore.

Which is why I'm getting even more personal than usual with this week's show, because it's a subjec...

But that's also where life tends to stagnate, where we fail...

Alison and I will soon be neighbors,...
