What if getting older doesn't mean slowing down—but opening yourself up to entirely new possibilities?
At 82, author RW Fields is offering readers a wonderfully timely reminder that creativity, friendship, humor, and reinvention don't have an expiration date.
His book, Mullet Man, is a heartfelt and often funny story about two people from very different generations and socioeconomic worlds who form an unexpected friendship. One is older, shaped by a very different era and accustomed to doing things his own way. The other is younger and navigating a very different social and financial reality.
What begins as an unlikely connection becomes something much deeper—a story about dignity, friendship, class, aging, understanding, and the surprising ways other people can change our lives.
Today, RW Fields joins us to talk about Mullet Man, the art of reinvention, and why sometimes the most interesting chapters of life are the ones you never planned.
