Anyone Can Be a Star

When I got an email inviting me to be interviewed for a YouTube channel, the first thing I did was Google the person who wrote to­­ me. He seemed to be a real person, so I answered his email, and now I am about to be a “star”.

Larry Barsh, the host, is an 87-year-old retired dentist with a new career.  He started his YouTube channel “Specifically for Seniors” in 2022. He interviews guests ranging from household names to me.  His website is very professional as is his demeanor.  In the kingdom of YouTube, his audience of followers is small, but Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Not sure when my episode will air. 

Am sure I was not his most polished guest.

    Let us know when you’ll be on! Maybe you won’t be his most polished guest but what you say will resonate with a lot of people.
    Congrats!

    I saw your podcast episode. Very Nice! I knew you would be articulate, thoughtful and your genuine self because I’d seen you on Youtube with Seth. I enjoyed seeing you again.
    I stopped sending commercial greeting cards when it became too hard to find cards that weren’t insulting. So, I started making my own cards. I put them together with photographs I’ve taken, sometimes flowers or scenery, and use glue-dots to paste them onto blank cards with envelops that I get in the craft store. I add my message and I’m happy with my homemade cards. My friends and family say nice things and I have avoided the negative messages surrounding having more birthdays.
    Keep spreading your positive message.
