In this inspiring episode host Joan Paul is joined by Denise Gordon - entrepreneur and co-host of the Skiptown All-Stars Travel Podcast (name change to I Could Live Here.)

As a new empty-nester, Denise launched her next act when she and her husband James embarked on a nomadic adventure across America in search of their "forever home". They sold nearly everything they owned, left their careers in LA, and hit the open road with nothing but curiosity, a minivan, and a list of "maybes." Rather spontaneously, they decided to start a podcast - Skiptown All-Stars Travel Podcast (name change to I Could Live Here) - to chronicle their adventures.

Denise shares how this decision to find the perfect town to live in "retirement" wasn't impulsive, but rather born out of years of “what if” conversations, COVID-era awakenings, and a deep desire for financial freedom and meaningful living. Their story isn't just about finding a new address, but also rediscovering who they are as individuals and as a couple.

This episode is filled with honest reflections on navigating an empty nest, and embracing opportunity at every turn. Denise shares how she and James turned their travels into a popular podcast and television appearance that’s inspiring thousands to rethink what’s possible.
Whether you’re navigating an empty nest, dreaming about relocating, or wondering if your best chapter could still be ahead, this episode will move you to ask, “Why not me?” and "Why not now?"

Tune in to get inspired by the real-life story of two people who embraced uncertainty and found joy, connection, and purpose along the way.
