I am Neil Soskin and I am happy to be on the Normal40 road with Lon. I came across Lon on LinkedIn several months ago. I am a decade past my 40's and started my transition and trade 5 or 6 years ago. I have found Lon's story, observations and wisdom to ring true to what I have experienced. Lon's vulnerability and straightforward manner is refreshing and inspiring. He consistently provokes me to think differently or reinforce questions I continue to grapple with. I appreciate having him in the seat next to me on the journey. I am one of those 1,000 dudes as Lon inspires me to stay in the trade and appreciate it every day.
