sucky to soulful Archives - Boomers Reinvented

Musical bookwriter, lyricist composer, entrepreneur, mom, wife and business partner.

It was awesome to meet up again with one our earliest guests, Ali Skylar.

Ali is a humorously creative writer and imagineer who is just completing her first musical as the bookwriter, lyricist and composer.

Based on the storyline and music I’ve heard, I believe Ali’s first musical will be a huge hit because it touches on so much of the uncertainty of the life of entrepreneurs, artists and dreamers. It reveals the doubts and fears we all face that hold us back from achieving our dreams and embarking on the lives we lead in our imagination.

It’s about pushing through the fears with determination, no matter what.

It’s a play for artists, entrepreneurs dreamers, and anyone who has ever doubted the validity of their hopes and goals.

Ali just needs an investor or agent to take her musical play to broadway.

We think James Altucher would be a great fit for this because he’s all about this topic, the theme of the musical, breaking out of the mold set by others, and following your heart over the crowd. Plus he’s a New Yorker, it’s a musical, and it’s all about choosing yourself, which is James’ signature brand and message.

Ali’s musical has the potential to be a huge hit. Tune in to this interview to enjoy one of the songs being sung a bit later in the call.

So grab a cup of your favorite brew and join us in catching up with Ali. we enjoyed it and think you will to, and later we can all say, “I knew her when…” 🙂

As we were ending the call, there was these lovely rays of light streaming in over Ali. She didn’t notice until I mentioned it, because it was on her, thus hard for her to see on herself. It brought me to wonder… how many magical light-filled moments might actually occur unnoticed.

So wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, take a pause, look up, stretch, deep breath of gratitude and appreciation for the quiet moments hiding in everyday things.

If you or someone you know might be interested in investing in Ali’s show, or sharing it with an agent you know, please contact us.

When Ali heard about Best Boomers and Beyond she reached out to us, because of our shared positive approach to life, and because she’s a baby boomer. We soon found out she’d already met half of my family!

My husband Coleman, and son Nikolai, met Ali and her son Chaz, at an event called Board Meetings International (BMI) back in 2012. The two founders of BMI, Jim Sheils and Brian Scrone, are two lifelong best friends with a mission of helping families deepen their connectedness in an often disconnected world.

Ali is funny, witty, and engaging and you’re sure to enjoy this interview as much as we enjoyed learning more about her! You can also peruse her Best Boomers and Beyond article: “What You See is Not ME!, and visit her site for a smile and a chuckle, and be sure to say “hello”.

AND… to see some of the wonderful programs and books she’s created! I especially like the Artitudes!

Becoming a writer has been the main catalyst to my spiritual awakening. Ali Skylar
