In the first part of our lives, we’re busy working toward a career. Then we’re busy doing it. By the time we’re done, we’ve gotten pretty good at whatever it is we do, so it can be pretty intimidating to try anything else. What if we’re terrible at it? Carl and Diana Landau want all of us to embrace the idea of being a beginner. As co-authors of the Amazon best-seller Pickleball for Dummies and the team behind the I Used to be Somebody podcast and newsletter, they dedicate themselves to helping people take on new retirement challenges. That is . . . when they aren’t on the pickleball court.  Rather than fear the unknown, why not welcome the opportunity to try something new, more fun, and maybe even more meaningful? But don’t take my word for it; listen to Carl and Diana.  I get it. You used to be somebody. But now? You can be somebody even better.  00:00-Embrace Being a Beginner 03:54-No Gold Watches Here 07:34-A Season of Reinvention 10:49-Freedom to Explore Your Interests 14:15-Reframing Divorce 15:39-Try - and Quit - As Much As You Want 19:21-Core Pursuits 23:56-Make New Friends in Retirement 26:46-Daily Stretches with Felix 28:52-Don’t Wait - Travel! 31:36-I Used to be Somebody: World Tour 36:15-Reflect on Your Reinvention Learn more about your ad choices.
