🎬 Behind-the-Scenes Note from Audley
One of my favorite moments was when Jeff casually invented the word mentalology mid-conversation — it perfectly captured how mindset quietly drives everything we do. His calm confidence and refusal to accept “normal” aging was a reminder that audacity doesn’t fade with time — it deepens.
