Seniors Are Awesome

TV Show and Senior Projects

Meet Your Hosts, Shawn and Lynda

A great synergy. It’s true they are both “goofy” and love to laugh, but together they have a perfect synergy. Shawn is that person that wants to see that 98 year old man jump from an airplane, or the 83 year old still benching or squatting more then most 20 years olds. Shawn loves to see and document these things. Lynda also loves to see seniors taking it to the next level, but what intrigues her even more is how each person gets to their heightened potential. Is it food, religion, meditation...what is it? Even more importantly what can others learn to maximize their own potential. In the end Shawn and Lynda may always look like they are having fun, they joke and laugh, even get a bit goofy, but they are very serious in the message they trying to send.

“Armed with the best information, an active and exciting life in ones seniors years is possible, and absolutely doable.” It is Shawn and Lynda’s belief that this TV show is highly entertaining to watch, but more importantly it's a “feel good show” that provides all of us with hope; hope and knowledge which are the building blocks one needs to start making real changes.
