    You’re never too old to start something new

    Released: 23/01/2023 | Featuring: John Port

    On Thursday 8th December 2022, a few days after recording this episode, John Port a World War 2 Soldier, D-Day survivor, and resident at one of our Oakland Care Homes sadly passed away aged 102.

    In a tribute to his extraordinary life, this is a conversation about risk, fear, resilience, building relationships, and gratitude.

    As John talks about his time in the war as a teenager, living without electricity, starting a new career after retirement, and living through Covid, John really puts things in perspective for us, the younger generation.
