Episode Description
In this interview, I chat with Boyd Watkins who is 86 years young. We explore his perspectives on aging gracefully (okay not so gracefully--he still takes his younger cycling companions on the hills). And perhaps more importantly, we take a listen to what it was like growing up as a light-skinned black person in the otherwise exclusively white Walnut Creek community in California during the crazy early days of Silicon Valley. An engineer, an inventor, a supporter of social change and a wonderful human being. Come listen to my interview with Boyd!
