David and Susan Tierney just celebrated their 50th year of
marriage together. Learn about how they met in Venezuela, built a
life together in Phoenix and their thoughts on nomadic
travel. 


Today's episode is special. For the 30th anniversary of this
podcast I had the unique opportunity to sit down with my folks
and interview them while visiting with them on Martha's Vineyard
for their 50th wedding anniversary.  In a time when one out
of every two marriages in the US ends in divorce and the average
lifespan of a marriage is 8.2 years, it's a treat to interview
two people who have made it work for so long. And it's an honor
to be able to share stories and wisdom from the two people who
are my greatest teachers and mentors. 


In this interview we discuss how they met each other in the Peace
Corps in Venezuela, their move to wild west frontier of Phoenix,
AZ in 1969, starting & growing a law firm which today holds
the distinction of Best Law Firm in
Arizona for the 8th year running as rated by Ranking
Arizona. We also discuss the immigration problem confronting the
US and what can be done to develop a more sensible and
sustainable immigration policy in America. Enjoy!
