On The Wellness Driven Life Show, April Chavez welcomes back James B. Flaherty, author, speaker, and former advertising creative director, now 90 and still writing, creating, connecting, and living with intention. In his new book, LOVING LONGEVITY: Make your next years your best years, Jim offers a practical and heartfelt message: longevity is not just about years, it is about gratitude, discipline, usefulness, and the people who keep life feeling full. He shares the daily rhythms that support his own vitality — morning gratitude, healthy eating, exercise, a full schedule, meaningful friendships, and the choice to show up for life with humor and care. In this episode, we explore: Why connection and community matter so much for long life and well-being. How small daily disciplines shape energy, mood, and purpose. Why service, courtesy, and making others feel better are part of living well. How Jim continues to create, write, and stay engaged at 90. Jim is the author of five books, a former international advertising creative director, creator of an iconic country inn, and a man who believes life is a gift worth honoring every day. His message is simple and powerful: stay grateful, stay useful, stay connected, and make your next year count.
