The Traveler's H.E.A.R.T.

Jul 17 2023 • 36 mins

Here's what to expect on the podcast:

  • How can asking someone to "tell me more" contribute to staying connected with them?
  • How can traveling together help children uncover new aspects of their parents' interests, values, or experiences?
  • How can the memories and shared adventures created during travel contribute to a stronger bond between children and their parents?
  • What is the Five Wishes document, and how does it relate to retirement communities?
  • And much more!

PS: This podcast is dedicated to my father, Frank John Zolfo, who passed at 81 years young on June 23, 2023.  He was an amazing man who lived a big life and - along the way - he made a massive impact on the hearts and lives of all those he encountered around the world.
