Aging with Curiosity . . . and Humor

What happens when you return to a dream you set aside decades ago?

At 21, Mark Shaiken wanted to write books. Instead, he spent nearly 40 years practicing bankruptcy law. At 65, he began a new chapter as an author.

Join us as Mark shares his journey from the courtroom to writing legal thrillers and essays—and reflects on what getting old(er) has taught him about curiosity, humor, and the difference between what you do and who you are.

With stories, a few laughs, and time for questions, this conversation is an invitation to consider the possibilities of a second act.
