Jon DiSavino, actor and host of the Short Story Today podcast

June 29, 2022

Have you ever had a lifelong dream? As you grow older, you might wonder if it’s time to let that old dream go, but the truth is, age doesn’t matter for most goals. If you still feel that spark within yourself, it might be time to dust yourself off and pick your dream back up.

Today you’ll hear from a man who proves it’s never too late to fulfill a lifelong passion. Jon DiSavino has always identified as an actor but put his acting dreams on the back burner to raise his daughter. 

When retirement came knocking on the door, that dream was still calling his name. In this episode, Jon shares how we can make our dreams a reality by taking charge—and piloting our lives in a way that brings us the most joy and satisfaction. 

Listen in to hear his message on:

  • How technology reshaped Jon’s approach to launching his second act

  • The power of failure and getting back up when you fall down
  • A significant moment of revelation that was 67 years in the making
