Testimonials
Hear what people have to say about Never Too Late Academy founder and senior instructor, Lowell Sheppard.
"For the more than twenty years I have known Lowell, he has been a mentor and role model to me and the companies I run. He has helped us develop a deep sense of purpose."
"Personally, that sense of purpose has helped guide me as I balance family, business, and my place in the world. In my companies, it has increased my belief that what we do is meaningful and that what each one of us does makes a difference in the world. More recently, members of my family have engaged Lowell as they seek to realize goals and aspirations. But most importantly, as I stepped down as CEO of a large company, Lowell guided me as I embarked on a new challenge: once again from the beginning."

"There are moments in life where we reach a fork in the road, or for some of us, the momentum slows down and we start to ask some important questions; What’s next? or Is this it?"
"Lowell Sheppard has been there, and he found a fresh & powerful way to trigger change along his own journey. It begins with embracing the idea that 'it’s never too late'."
"As I move forward on my own journey, Lowell’s perspective, and the secrets he reveals in his programs, help to guide me on my mission to do well, and do ‘good’."
