单集简介 ...

Maurine “Mighty Mo'' Kornfeld will soon turn 102 years old, and most days, you can catch her doing laps in a Los Angeles public swimming pool. And that’s not just because she regularly competes in – and wins – world swimming championships! It’s because she loves being in the water, despite only picking up swimming as a hobby well into her sixties. In this special episode, Maurine shares what she’s learned from doing something she loves almost every day, why it’s never too late to start something new, and the three things anyone can do to improve their life, no matter their age.

  • One of the most interesting parts of being human is that we're all a little different.

  • Different preferences, different priorities, different ways of seeing the world.

  • And ideally, the things we use should reflect that.

  • Toyota's new all-electric lineup is built as a family, but not a uniform one.

  • Each vehicle has its own personality, from the sleek,

  • expressive design of the CHR to the more rugged feel of the BZ woodland.

  • It's not about standing out for the sake of it.

  • It's about finding something that actually feels like you.

  • The new all-electric family.

  • Toyota.

  • Let's go places.

  • With no fees or minimums on checking accounts,

  • it's no wonder the Capital One bank guy is so passionate about banking with Capital One.

  • If he were here, he wouldn't just tell you about no fees or minimums.

  • He'd also talk about how most Capital One cafes are open seven days a week to assist with your banking needs.

  • Yep, even on weekends.

  • It's pretty much all he talks about.

  • In a good way.
