EP 12 Stay Relevant and Follow Your Passion
“Trying new things is fuel for growth. Nobody gets to their death bed and says, I’m sorry for trying so many things. But there are plenty of people who get there with regrets for the things they did not try.”
At 72, Louie Bernstein has navigated an entrepreneurial journey filled with highs and lows, has experienced career transitions, and he’s battled burnout and ageism.
Louie is proof that age is just a number when it comes to learning, adapting, and thriving, and his story is a testament to staying relevant and following your passion.
Episode Highlights:
•Intergenerational Workplaces
•Embracing New Technology
•Battling Burnout and Depression
•Community and Continuous Learning
Our discussion also explores Louie’s foray into video creation using just his cell phone and some easy-to-use software tools.
You’ll discover how video content can enhance your expertise and authority on platforms like LinkedIn, even if engagement isn’t always visible.
Don’t let age or societal perceptions limit your ambitions. Embark on new dreams, pursue fresh opportunities, and stay open to learning at every stage of life!

Fractional Sales Executive / Author/LinkedIn Top Voice
I’m a 72-year-old Business Executive, husband of 45 years, father of four, and grandfather of three.
I have been in sales since I was 10, starting in a hot dog stand in Skokie, Illinois. I’m pretty sure I was the first one to say, “You want fries with that?”
I started my career in sales. I soon went on to founding a training company which ran for 22 years and earned a spot on the INC 500 list of fastest growing companies in America.
After leaving and taking a break, I went back to becoming a solopreneur. Since 2016, I have been helping small businesses build and optimize their sales teams, as a Fractional Sales Executive.
I have encountered probably every business situation imaginable, and have an insatiable thirst and curiosity for knowledge, technology, and people.
Today I work, not because I must. I work because it’s my mojo. My father taught me a long time ago, if you let you mind go, your body will follow it quickly.
