Welcome back to Pizza Quest! \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once again, the operative word for this episode is Quest,<\/em> as we welcome author, mentor, and game changer, Dr. Marc B. Cooper<\/strong>. Marc’s mission and personal quest is to restore a sense of meaning and purpose for those of us who fall into the “senior citizen” bracket (but, really, it’s a timeless mission for all of us regardless of age). The title of his new book. “Older to Elder”<\/em><\/strong> says it all, so I won’t try to recap it for you here but, rather, encourage you to listen to this fascinating conversation that might very well transform your life. Marc is, like me, a Philly boy, so I plan to invite him back to talk pizza in a future episode, but in this episode you will hear the culmination of a lifelong journey of wisdom-seeking that far surpasses the search for the perfect pizza (except in the metaphorical sense, of course).<\/p>\n

For those who want to follow-up and get his book (and this is unsolicited, as I get no kickback from Amazon or anyone for promoting Marc’s book), here’s a link\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

In the meantime, join Dr. Marc Cooper and me as we discuss why becoming an elder is far more important than simply getting older…..<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> This episode marks the end of our 2024 season, a year full of a number of fabulous conversations with fellow questers on pizza and other important matters. \u00a0Our tagline, as you may know, is a “Journey of Self-Discovery Through Pizza<\/em>,” and this year’s episodes have taken us deeper into the “self-discovery” aspect of that mission. \u00a0Please check out our archives for episodes you may have missed. We plan to return in early 2025 with a whole new season of thought-provoking and, of course, delicious explorations in our never-ending Pizza Quest,<\/em> both literal and metaphorical. Have a joyous holiday season and we’ll see you in the new year!<\/p>\n
