Ok, I get it... Everyone LOVES Jennifer... BUT, she's off to Europe with her father and sister for a VERY WELL-DESERVED father-daughter(s) vacation, so I'm home alone........ So what's better than exploring empty-nesting with my favorite people from my 54 years of life...
So why not start with one of my original besties, Billy Mac!
He has been empty-nesting for a long time, and boy does he share some amazing lessons and advice on how to successfully deal with this crucial and magnificent life transition.
And of course, we hit all kinds of fun stories from our past too. Serious topics include:
Florida Real Estate
The NCAA NIL Ecosystem
The Benjamin School
The Boating Lifestyle
How to Raise Successful Children (aside from hoping for some luck)
Legendary Parents
Florida's Transition
And, of course, never forget to put your 30-foot long convertible Cadillac's top up when it rains in Florida... and for sure never forget the parking brake if you happen to be parked on the one hill in all of Florida - THE DRIVEWAY AT NORTH PALM BEACH COUNTRY CLUB...
Hope you enjoy this special episode. More to come while Jennifer enjoys Europe, and, if we are lucky, perhaps she'll do an episode from overseas this weekend with us!
We are Plate & Ponder: Empty-Nesting with Jen & Chris Fenton!
