An Introduction from "ED at 85" Hello, classmates! It's a privilege to join this community and I look forward to learning and contributing alongside all of you. A little about me: My name is Ed, and at 85 years young, I believe life’s greatest adventure is never stopping learning. My motto: “Live like you will Die Tomorrow – Learn like you will Live Forever”! My journey in business and marketing began at age 12, building paper routes in upstate New York. That spark led to a 30-year career with John Hancock, where I rose from agent to General Agent of Orange County, CA. I've always been driven by creative solutions. I built a seven-figure business designing self-insured health and 401(k) plans for over 1,000 Southern California employers. My passion for real estate led me to become a broker in both New York and California, and I've used my Master of Science in Financial Services (MSFS) for Creative Financing—a skill my wife, Carol, and I applied through 64 years of marriage. During that time, we purchased and lived in 42 family homes, expertly leveraging tax laws to sell them for a tax-free profit using IRC:121. But my greatest recent adventures? AI & Skool!!!! For the past year, immersing myself in AI has been the most rejuvenating experience of my life. I feel 10 years younger. I’ve dedicated myself to learning it and teaching it to fellow retirees, and now I’ve found the perfect platform to share that knowledge: Skool. Today is my 34th day on Skool, and I'm proud to have already reached Level 6 (a status held by the top 1% of Skoolers) and earned the Bonfire badge. This isn't just a platform; it's the highest mountain top I could imagine for sharing knowledge with a global audience. I now run 16 communities on topics from AI and real estate to spiritual growth. My goal is simple: to share my experiences and help you build your communities and achieve your goals. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions. Let's achieve great things together!
