Just Ripe
Just Ripe is a podcast for anyone who’s realizing that growing older isn’t a crisis, it’s a season! If you’ve ever found yourself wondering where you fit, what’s next, or how to stay inspired as time moves on, this show is for you. Each episode brings together Dr. Rob, freshly over 50 and venturing into uncharted territory, and Sir Ric, in his 70s with wisdom to match. That duality creates a conversation that’s dynamic, relatable, and real — a back-and-forth between curiosity and experience, humor and reflection, the now and the next. Together, they explore the real, raw, and sometimes ridiculous parts of aging: shifting identities, changing bodies, rediscovering purpose, evolving relationships, and finding joy in the process. Listeners in their 40s, 50s, and 60s will recognize themselves in Rob’s questions. Those further along will find grounding and connection in Ric’s stories. Together, that mix makes Just Ripe a space for everyone navigating the middle and beyond... the beautiful, sometimes bumpy road between who we were and who we’re still becoming. We call on our ”Ripe Voices” — guests who are both subject-matter experts and on the same journey as us— to share insights and stories from every angle. It’s blending the art and science of growing older, wrapped in humor, honesty, and a touch of humanity. Listeners are invited to join the conversation too by sending in questions, comments, and reflections that shape future episodes. We chose the name Just Ripe because it’s exactly how we see this season of life: full of flavor, experience, and richness that only comes with time. We’re not past our prime, we’re in it. The apple in our logo captures that perfectly. It’s timeless, familiar, and symbolic of growth, knowledge, and renewal. From green to red, tart to sweet, it represents transformation and proof that with patience and light, life only gets better. At Just Ripe, we believe that aging isn’t about decline. It’s about deepening, becoming more grounded, more intentional, and yes, more deliciously human. Like fruit on the vine, we don’t expire… we ripen!

What if you stopped planning for retirement and started planning for life?
In this episode of Just Ripe, we’re joined by Chris Powers, Partner at Merit Financial, to explore planning for what’s next—where money supports purpose, not just an exit date. We talk about the evolving role of a CFP® as both financial advisor and life-planning partner, why life doesn’t end after work, and how being intentional with the next stage can create...
In this short teaser, Dr. Rob and Sir Ric introduce Just Ripe — a podcast about life’s seasons, meaningful transitions, and the moments that help us grow wiser, lighter, and more fulfilled along the way. This is where honest conversations live — not preachy, not overly technical — just real talk about purpose, perspective, and the chapters that come after “what’s next.”

The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark.
