A Second Act, With Wine — with Carolyn Moore

from Wise Up with OpenWater Hosted by OpenWater

After nearly 30 years as an HR executive, Carolyn Moore is building a very different next chapter centered on wine and bringing people together. Carolyn joins Wise Up to talk about turning a longtime interest into genuine expertise, launching a new business after 50, and discovering that reinvention doesn’t necessarily require leaving everything you’ve already built behind. We cover topics including: Building a “portfolio career,” and why starting something new doesn’t have to mean making an all-or-nothing leap from your existing career. Turning passion into expertise, including Carolyn’s journey from wine enthusiast to certified sommelier, and how being a beginner again rekindled her curiosity. Taking the intimidation out of wine, from trusting your own palate to finding interesting, affordable bottles and using food, wine, and conversation to bring people together. For Carolyn, the thread connecting her two careers is surprisingly consistent: reading the room, creating connection, and designing experiences people enjoy. Her story is a reminder that your next chapter can build upon what you already know while opening the door to something entirely new.
