MEET YOUR HOST
Stoney
I've been around long enough to know that life doesn't owe you a thing. But that doesn't mean you stop showing up.
Stoney is the Boomer voice behind Retrospect, bringing decades of life experience, a sharp sense of humor, a strong Christian faith, and an unapologetic willingness to ask the questions other people might be thinking but aren't quite ready to say out loud.
He's a husband, a man of faith, and someone who knows firsthand that life can change in an instant.
A life-altering accident forced him to confront challenges he never saw coming: Trying to find a new normal after a traumatic brain injury, and losing his sense of balance, smell, taste, hearing, and so much more changed the way he experienced the world and reminded him just how quickly the ordinary things in life can become extraordinary obstacles.
It also gave him a perspective you can't get from reading a book or watching a motivational video. Some lessons must be lived.
On Retrospect, Stoney isn't interested in telling younger generations how to live their lives. He's interested in understanding why they see the world differently, sharing what his generation has learned, and finding out what all of us might be missing.
He believes in hard work, personal responsibility, family, faith, and the value of a good conversation. He's equally comfortable discussing life's biggest questions, questioning popular narratives, sharing a laugh, or admitting that sometimes the younger guys might actually have a point.
He doesn't expect everyone to agree with him. In fact, he'd probably find that a little boring.
His philosophy is simple: Bring your experience. Bring your questions. Bring an open mind. And don't be afraid to disagree, as long as you're willing to listen. Oh, and he has the best wife ever – just ask him.
Because life has a funny way of teaching us that the older we get, the more we realize how much we still have to learn.
