Creating A Life You Don't Want to Retire From

Prior to the late 1800’s the concept of retirement didn’t exist. And it wasn’t until the mid-1900’s that older people were financially compensated for leaving employment - at an age where they had usually outlived the average life expectancy of the time.  This antiquated concept of retirement no longer makes fiscal or social sense. 

In this episode I’m taking a look at the historical and financial impact of retirement and exploring how leaders can intentionally and explicitly create a life they don’t want (or need) to retire from by taking small steps towards the things they desire now, instead of waiting until later.

Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.

These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab. He wanted to offer those who share his beliefs the space and safety to explore transformative ideas, experiment with new behaviors, and evolve into the leaders they were meant to be and that the world needs.

This is a framework he has used again and again with his Vistage peer advisory groups and companies like Turn-Key Tunneling, Convergint, Haughn &  Associates, I Am Boundless, Ketchum & Walton, LSP Technologies, and Ahlum & Arbor.

Perry lives and works on the shores of Buckeye Lake in Ohio, in the mountains of northwest Georgia, and on the beach in Anna Maria, Florida with his amazingly creative wife Lisa. They have 2 rescue dogs and are intermittently visited by their 3 wonderful children throughout the year. Perry & Lisa are living life in crescendo and focused on exploring, experimenting, and evolving their vision of a life they have no desire to retire from.
