Epidsode 110 "I became an award winning inventor at 68!" with Connie Inukai

Midlife Mavericks - Living Life Happy, Healthy, Sexy & Strong

For anyone who says "I'm too old to start a business" listen up!

Meet Connie Inukai. As a serial “Grandmapreneur®”, Connie speaks to retirees or soon-to-be retirees on the benefits of pursuing entrepreneurship in retirement.

After teaching for 40 years at John Hopkins University and University of Maryland, Connie became an award-winning inventor at the age of 68. For people who like to eat out in restaurants, but have difficulty reading the small print on a menu or bill, she invented a handheld magnifier and light, with a calculating device to figure out a tip and split the bill in seconds. Thus, the name Tip ‘n Split®! Learn more about it here.

Author of “How I got My Product on QVC, The Today Show, The View, and More…In Retirement”, she helps others generate free publicity for their products.

She is the creator of Write Your Selfie®, where she inspires people to write their life stories in a fun and easy-to-read format so grandchildren and future generations will enjoy turning the pages to learn about their ancestry and life lessons. She is passionate about working with dementia sufferers and their families to preserve the memoirs of this “invisible” population.

Featured in Entrepreneur magazine, “6 Reasons to Pursue Entrepreneurship in Retirement,” Connie encourages Baby Boomers to have an active retirement through business or social entrepreneurship.

Connie is the embodiement of a Midlife Maverick!
