Description

🌍 Sometimes, to move forward, we need to pause — and listen to those who’ve walked this Earth far longer than us. In this special off-topic episode, we step away from QA testing just for a moment, and dive into the extraordinary lives of three beautiful souls who have lived over a century.


💬 Meet Clifford (101), Teresa (103), and John (79) — each with stories filled with laughter, loss, love, war, whiskey, and wisdom.

From jazz-filled nights in 1930s Manchester to climbing towers in Czechoslovakia, to baking bread and reflecting on true love… their stories remind us that life is about the little things — and that age is, truly, just a number.


🧠 They’ll share:


  • Lessons from war and peace

  • Why marriage done right is the best therapy

  • Why fresh food and dancing at midnight matter

  • How to cope with loss and keep your memories alive

  • The real secret to a long, joyful life (spoiler: it’s not kale 🥬)



✨ Let their voices guide you back to yourself — even if just for 30 minutes. A reminder that we’re all just passing through, and maybe… that’s okay.


🎧 Take a deep breath. Put the tasks on hold. And listen.
