About this episode
At 70 years young, Dale Kershner is far from slowing down—in fact, he’s just getting started. In this powerful conversation, Dale shares how he walked away from law school, dove into early tech and automation, and eventually found his true calling: coaching human beings toward peak performance.
With 43+ years of experience working with individuals, entrepreneurs, and global companies, Dale brings wisdom, wit, and raw honesty to the mic. From programming robotic machines in the 1980s to guiding C-suite leaders across cultures, Dale’s journey is a masterclass in evolving with purpose.
Whether you’re launching a business or navigating life’s detours, Dale’s story proves it’s never too late—and you’re never too stuck—to grow.
