I’ve always given the notion of retirement shortest shrift on The Big Middle.
What does it even mean in 2022?
We don’t retire these days, we shift gears, we make transitions.
We keep earning if we need to (and most of us need to) while we grow our minds, feed our passions, soothe our souls and figure out how to give back - do something that matters to more than ourselves.
Two fascinating guests join me on The Big Middle to talk transitions: gerontologist researcher and author Deborah Gale, based in Ascot, west of London, and journalist and author Rich Eisenberg, newly UNretired; he tells us what that means from his #WFH office in New Jersey.
