About NEVER TOO LATE: Real Stories of Re-Invention
Welcome to NEVER TOO LATE: Stories of Re-invention, where we share real stories of dream chasers, career changers, and people with the courage to reinvent themselves. I’m Eric Cooter, and each episode I sit down with someone who has taken a leap, discovered a new path, or found joy in the unexpected. NTL conversations are about hope, resilience, and reminding us all that it’s never too late to "chase your dreams.
The podcast’s name, format, and creative concept are the intellectual property of Eric Cooter and may not be used, duplicated, or represented without written consent.
In this episode of NTL: Never Too Late — Real Stories of Re-invention, divorce and life reinvention coach Nanette Murphy shares a deeply grounded conversation about ending a long marriage later in life and finding the courage to design a meaningful second act.
After navigating her own divorce later in life, Nanette found herself facing fear, uncertainty, and the challenge of redefining identity, purpose, and confidence after everything she thought her future would look like changed. What emerged from that season was not just healing, but a calling — to support women over 40 as they move through divorce, rebuild their lives, and reclaim agency with clarity and compassion.
In this conversation, we explore:
• Divorce later in life and the emotional weight of ending a long marriage
• Identity loss, grief, and the fear of starting over
• Why preparation and knowledge matter during major life transitions
• Reclaiming confidence and agency after disruption
• Designing a second act rooted in truth, purpose, and self-trust

Defying Limits: Reinvention, Resilience, and Purpose with Mike Bolland
In this episode of NTL: Never Too Late — Real Stories of Re-invention, Eric Cooter sits down with Mike Bolland — motivational speaker, cancer survivor, nonprofit founder, stand-up comedian, inventor, and host of the We’re Not Stumpedpodcast — whose life is a powerful example of resilience, adaptability, and purpose.
Born without his right hand, Mike has spent his life defying expectations. From becoming the first one-handed bowler to compete in the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA), to leading digital innovation in the corporate world, to surviving cancer and founding a nonprofit that helps amputees access prosthetics, Mike’s story is one of continual reinvention.
His journey reminds us that limits are often assumptions — and that purpose can emerge from the very challenges we once wished away.
In this conversation, we explore:
• Growing up with limb difference and building resilience early
• Breaking barriers in professional sports
• Reinventing identity beyond athletic achievement
• Surviving cancer and redefining purpose
• Advocacy, comedy, and creativity as tools for empowerment
• Why reinvention is not a moment — but a lifelong mindset
