Which is changing faster, the chicken or the egg? It isn't a question of which came first anymore. Or which goes next. It's the question of being able to keep up with both simultaneously in a world of continuous and discontinuous change.

In today's episode, you will discover:

  • an overview of the history of retirement
  • the context and environment in which we are experiencing and trying to plan retirement
  • how to identify the tangible assets we're going to have to develop and maintain beyond our finances
  • some predictions that may surprise you about the importance of extended work and education in our lives
  • specific recommendations for the next steps our audience should consider and take
  • Retirement isn't "mono" anything anymore. Nor are there fixed, identical steps for all of us to take that will guarantee success.
