Reflections from Boyd Watkins-A Feisty Octogenarian!
from Discover Fresh Perspectives · host David
Send us Fan MailIn 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!***************************************************************You can connect with David Gouthro at:Website:https://davidgouthro.com/ (where you can also subscribe to my Blog)LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidgouthro/NOTE: If you wish to join in the podcast fun, please click here to book your own episode with me: https://calendly.com/gouthro/podcast-pals!
