More Magazine's Lesley Jane Seymore, PNP Family Play Center Owner& President Norma Davis, and Bhati Beads Owner& President Margaret Maggard join Ann Curry live in Studio 1A. Seymore says you get to a point when you say it's now or never to change careers, and you know you're gong to bounce into it really fast because you've got the knowhow. Davis says taking her children and grandchildren to places and watching them have fun, she wanted to leave a legacy and make sure the community had a nice place, her PNP Family Play Center is fun, and everyone in the neighborhood enjoys being able to take their children to a place that's safe, clean, and fun, it was scary not knowing what would happen when setting it up. Maggard says she made one piece of jewelry, and a friend liked it and becoming a jewelry designer and purveyor grew organically from that, but it was when getting responses is when it started growing and growing and getting in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue that helped, she didn't let her son take the issue into school to show friends, but he came home and said he told all of his friends she was in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit and they said"your mom's old", it was wonderful when her jewelry got on the cover and then on a billboard. Seymore discusses various ways starting another career after 50 (as noted in the supers).
