It's time to rethink, renew and reimagine retirement! Retire Repurposed is dedicated to help people transition into fulfilling and purposeful retirements. Retirement is a big life-change! In fact, the two most dangerous years of a person's life are the year they were born and the year they retire. We believe retirement is not the end; rather, the beginning of what could be the most impactful season of a person's life. So, don't retire; become Repurposed.

On this episode, we talk about the two most empowering operating systems. Your operating system is more than a mindset or worldview. It's a foundational way at which you function, look at life, and solve problems. Choosing an empowering operating system sets the stage for you to walk into God's fullness and live with purpose in retirement. In this podcast, we discuss how taking action and playing offense in life is good, but it's not as powerful as becoming. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode, we talk about your mindset leading into retirement. Oftentimes, people look at retirement as a beginning – where freedom, leisure and life intersect. Others view retirement as the beginning of the end – the end of purpose and adding value. The truth is neither of these mindsets are correct. In this podcast, we discuss the dangers of these mindsets and develop a proper viewpoint to live a Repurposed retirement. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode, we stray a bit outside the lines of the non-financial parts of retirement. In the book, The 4-Hour Workweek, by Tim Ferriss it is suggested that the mathematics behind retirement don't add up and "the golden years become lower-middle-class life revisited" even with $1 million. In this podcast, we will explain how retirement is less about wealth and more about spending. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On this episode, we talk about living in life-deferral mode. Too many times, people have a "someday" mentality, especially when it comes to retirement.
