In this episode, we are joined by the multifaceted a)plan coach, Geramy Quarto. Much of Geramy\\u2019s career took place in Hollywood as a talent manager, and it was through the 1988 Writers Guild of America Strike that he first discovered coaching. Inspired by his own experience, he introduced coaching to many of his entertainment clients before looking ahead to new pastures in the non-profit space. He became integral in the early development of AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA) while simultaneously earning a joint degree in social work and gerontology - eventually becoming a licensed psychotherapist. Our discussion with Geramy focuses on a number of enlightening perspectives, such as the importance of failure for future success, working towards your opus, and embracing the AGE Method to age well (appreciation, gratitude, and encouragement).
