And what did we do with our lives once we retired? Did we do what we thought we would? We did want to get involved in our community. This involvement took an expanded turn with the invention of the Internet and Podcasting. Perhaps your’s will also. I... more
The pause is the thing. The pause gives our mind time to work. It gives us time to think. It calls forth our imagination. We need time to sort through possibilities, thoughts, and values. We need time to find out what we are thinking.
We graduate many times in life. We step up. We step away. We step into. We move. That's the thing isn't it. We move on. Hopefully we move on to something greater that that which we have just experienced. Retirement is one of the last major change.

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.

Apple Podcasts5JessDelandUnited States3 years ago - Good podcast outside authors constant bizarre political commentary
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.
