Ron Sowell is a lifelong musician, singer-songwriter, and performer who has spent decades exploring the transformative power of music. From stage performances to songwriting workshops, Ron’s life offers a rich example of how creativity and personal growth can intertwine—especially in the years beyond traditional career paths.

Ron shares the pivotal moment he stepped off the law-school track and committed to music for life, the joy and meaning he finds in performing and mentoring, and the simple daily practices that keep him grounded and strong as the years add up. We talk Mountain Stage, creative purpose beyond “traditional retirement,” and why gratitude, meditation, and consistent movement are non-negotiables for staying vibrant.

Key takeaways:

* Purpose isn’t a job title. Ron never planned to “retire” from the thing that gives him energy—music.

* Daily anchors matter: meditation, gratitude, and some form of strength/mobility work are simple but compounding.

* Creative contribution evolves with age: performing, producing, and coaching other artists are natural extensions of a lifetime in music.

* Community keeps you sharp: bandleading at Mountain Stage means constant learning and collaboration with top-tier musicians.
