We had a great conversation with Jeff Bradford From Dalton Agency on Young At Heart Nashville where we bring on professionals over 40 to tell their stories! Please bear with some of the audio, we had a few issues. We talked about many things from being a business owner, his story, how turning 40 should not matter because we can all do great things no matter the age plus a whole lot more!
