    What happens when a daughter launches a publishing company… and her 82-year-old mother becomes her indispensable right hand?

    In this heartfelt and surprisingly funny episode, Ron sits down with Stephanie Larkin, founder of Red Penguin Books, and her mother Christine Rogeri, an 82-year-old tech-savvy powerhouse who helps run the business — publishing books, managing websites, wrangling social media, and breaking stereotypes every step of the way. Stephanie shares the unusual origin story behind Red Penguin Books — from a nonprofit crisis to coloring penguins red with a Sharpie — and how her company helps aspiring authors bring their book dreams to life. Christine talks about joining the company later in life, mastering new technology, and proving that “80 is the new 60.” This episode explores:
    • Reinventing yourself at any age
    • The joys and challenges of running a family business
    • The deeply personal process of helping authors become published
    • The power of creativity, community, and purpose in later life
    A warm, funny, inspiring conversation that reminds us: it’s never too late to start a new chapter.

    45 Forward #249 - The 3-Legged Stool of Retirement Security Medicare, Social Security & Wealth Planning
    Nov 8 2025
    In this eye-opening conversation, Ron Roel sits down with Joe Battaglia, CEO of Senior Services of North America, to demystify one of the most confusing challenges facing Americans today; how to navigate Medicare, Social Security, and retirement planning together.

    Joe reveals how a simple postcard led him to build a national organization devoted to helping seniors make smarter decisions about their healthcare and financial futures. From understanding open enrollment and avoiding costly Medicare mistakes to optimizing Social Security and protecting your savings from market volatility, Joe breaks it all down with clarity, compassion, and humor.

    If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I really ready for retirement?”, this episode will give you the roadmap to get there. Topics include:
    • The origin of Senior Services of North America and Joe’s postcard story
    • Why healthcare costs are the #1 cause of bankruptcy in America
    • Understanding the “Three-Legged Stool” of retirement: Medicare, Social Security, and financial planning
    • How to avoid being overcharged or left uncovered during open enrollment
    • The importance of reviewing your Medicare plan every year
    • How to optimize your Social Security payout (and why waiting can mean tens of thousands more)
    • Protecting your retirement savings from downturns through diversification and fixed index annuities
    • The power of planning early — even before you hit 50

    45 Forward #248 - Aging in Community,The Future of Independent Living
    Oct 30 2025
    What if aging didn’t mean slowing down — but stepping into a richer, more connected phase of life?

    In this episode, host Ron Roel sits down with Stu Almer, President & CEO of the Gurwin Healthcare System, to explore how Life Plan Communities like Fountaingate Gardens are redefining retirement living. Stu explains how Gurwin’s “continuum of care” model helps older adults live independently today while being fully supported for tomorrow — combining vibrant community life with peace of mind. Together, they discuss:
    • The difference between independent living, assisted living, and continuing care.
    • How Fountaingate’s “Type A” and “Type B” contracts work.
    • Why social connection, purpose, and belonging are as vital as healthcare.
    • How Gurwin maintains exceptionally low staff turnover and a culture of caring.
    • The coming wave of innovative retirement communities — and what families should plan for now.
    A must-watch for anyone exploring aging options for themselves or loved ones.
