Corporate Executive to Documentary Film Maker at 65 - a podcast by Jennifer Arthurton

This weeks episode is an inspiring  reinvention story about following your passion at any age. My guest Melissa Davey left her comfortable corporate position at the age 65 to become a documentary filmmaker. She had always had an interest in film but had no experience in the film industry before she set out this journey.  Her first film Beyond 60 @beyond60 was released at the film festivals last year documenting the lives, lessons and experiences of 8 women over the age of 60. Such  incredibly poignant stories and insights. I actually watched the film twice.  Highly recommend it.

Now at the age of 72 Melissa is about to release her second film Climbing into Life @climbingintolife. In this episode  Melissa and I talk about what made her take the leap, how she navigated the unknown, what kept her going when things got hard as well her insights and advice for other women who may be sitting on the fence of a long held dream.

This might be one my most favourite  conversations yet. Melissa is a true badass and left me feeling beyond inspired to keeping chasing dreams and stepping out of my comfort zone.  I cant wait for you all to hear this one.
