Kevin Barry Price (6/29/54-5/22/25) This replay is a tribute to the music Barry left behind for all of us to enjoy and remember him!Originally recorded on Thanksgiving Day 2020.Our Kickass Boomer of the Day is Kevin Barry Price. After retiring from his regular job, Barry has been spending his time in his studio creating and recording music. In this episode, he will share his journey as a musician, his inspirations in life, and his joy in producing music. As everyone has been saying, there’s a price for everything. Barry will tell us what we need to do to be a successful musician after retirement. Turn the volume up now and find out why Barry is a Kickass Boomer! Music was the pulse of Barry’s life. Being left-handed, he taught himself to play guitar by turning it upside-down, which reflects his creativity and determination. This dedication led him to play several instruments, with special enthusiasm for the harmonica, for which he developed an amazing talent. From a young age, he wrote his own songs and played in bands. As an adult, Barry transformed his basement into a recording studio where he and fellow musicians were free to create new sounds and explore recording techniques. Friends and family were invited to participate in the recording process and appreciated the chance to be part of his music. Many local musicians tapped into Barry’s talent for mixing tracks and were welcomed to his home to use his studio and complete their pieces.Barry was a familiar face at local open mics, where he shared his original songs and connected with fellow musicians and music lovers alike. He listened to many genres of music but held a special place in his heart for The Beatles, especially George Harrison, whose spirit and sound inspired him. Barry’s legacy lives on in the music he created and the lives he touched with his gentle spirit and unwavering passion.Rest in Peace Barry!

Connect with Jean Kuhn Running your business is no different than running your family. You need a daily plan or everything goes to hell. I became a mom and an entrepreneur at the exact same time, April 29, 1985, at 8:52 p.m. The moment they put that…The moment they put that first baby in my arms I knew I was not going back to a J-O-B I hated, so I just started a business.When I gave my notice to the company I worked for, they offered to put a computer in my house (in 1985 no one had home computers), make me an independent contract, increase my pay, put a computer in our home, and let me work from home. I was one of the original “telecommuters.”I have started several businesses through the years, but my biggest business lessons came when I, purposefully, bought a bankrupt business in 2002 (a chocolate franchise).I turned that business around in 12 months adding $100,000 to the bottom line. Four years later I bought a second bankrupt business (another chocolate franchise), and turned it around in less than 12 months adding slightly over $100,000 to the bottom line. I started helping my fellow franchisees increase their revenue, and then small business owners.I now work with service and retail businesses to help them turn around their business and increase their cash flow fast.https://ixn2zmly.pages.infusionsoft.net/ [email protected]://www.linkedin.com/in/jeankuhn?Connect with Host Terry LohrbeerFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2658545911065461/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrylohrbeer/Instagram: kickassboomersTwitter: @kickassboomersWebsite: kickassboomers.com Connect to Premiere Podcast Pros for podcast editing:[email protected] LEAVE A REVIEW and join me on my journey to become and stay a Kickass Boomer!Visit http://kickassboomers.com/ to listen to the previous episodes.
