Get ready to change what you think you know about aging | Maye Musk

The Art Of Living with Kathy Smith

Today’s guest is Maye Musk. She started modeling at age 15, and then in her 60s, life turned fabulous. Can you imagine appearing in a Beyonce music video, or signing a contract as a Covergirl spokesperson, and setting a record for being the oldest Covergirl yet!? Then, at the end of 2019, Musk added “best-selling author” to her resume. In her book, A Woman Makes a Plan: Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty and Success, she shares experiences from her life conveying hard-earned wisdom on career, family, health , and adventure. She talks about her experience raising her 3 children, filmmaker Tosca, restraneur and philanthropist Kimball, and tech entrepreneur Elon, who founded SpaceX and Tesla. From an outsider looking in, it might appear as if Maye’s life has always been charmed and glamorous, but when you step behind the curtains, you see how this dynamic creature has pushed through the hard times and made her way through it all with resilience and a no-nonsense attitude to become a global success at what she calls the "prime of her life." Now at the age of 71, Maye lives in Los Angeles, and is having the best time ever. She says that 81 it will be great. Her mom had her best times when she was in her 90s, so she looks forward to that.
