People used to work until they died and for the most part live in an extended family structure where some recognition was assured. Today's retired people face a true challenge in this life quest. We must create a means of being recognized.
Is there anything more important than a good story? And I might answer, "Very little". If there is one thing that we retired folks possess more than younger folks is the number of stories we have in our bag. We have had experiences that come only wit... more
Is it so important - to be politically astute? We all know the correct answer to that question. Our elementary teachers taught us that democracy demands an educated citizenry. It is easy to see the need.
Neighbors are important and we might all find more comfort in life by engaging those close by rather than spending all of our time reaching across the world via Facebook for friends. It isn’t an all or nothing choice. There is no reason we can’t have... more

This is my favourite podcast about retirement. Del’s focus is not money but how to make this phase of life meaningful and rewarding. He’s a storyteller & teacher, sharing lessons he has learned in life.

I enjoy the personal antidotes that speak to the soon-to-be retired baby boomer - me. He uses a conversational style that makes me feel I am having a cup of coffee with someone who has some experience with this stage of life.

Retired 5 years - still listening - still learning - still growing - still grateful for this weekly pep talk! Thank you Del - & - by the way - keep speaking political truth - it is appreciated by me more than you could ever imagine !
I’m 77 and look forward to your podcast. Thanks for sharing.
I have enjoyed several of this authors podcasts except for the truly weird far left political comments he constantly injects into his topics. The podcaster is a Marxist who can’t help himself and keeps sabotaging his podcast with truly bizarre political commentary. If he left out his constant political nonsense this would have been an excellent podcast because otherwise he is pleasant to listen to and gives some great information and advice about retirement.
I used to really enjoy this one and still to most of the time, but inevitably a political slant crept in so going to unsubscribe.
