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 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 talk about boredom. High achievers that have succeeded professionally and financially will tend to struggle with society's version of retirement.

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. Due to societal changes, retirement has become a destination where life begins – not the case! In this podcast, we discuss the evolution of retirement and we explain the essence of a purposeful life which doesn't begin or end at retirement. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On this episode, we tackle the question, "Is retirement worst-case-scenario Insurance?" This concept comes from the book, The 4-Hour Workweek, where Tim Ferriss says, "Retirement planning is like life insurance. It should be viewed as nothing more than a hedge against absolute worst-case scenario: in this case, becoming physically incapable of working and needing a reservoir of capital to survive." In this podcast, we confront the idea of retirement being the end goal and we help you see retirement planning as tax-deferred, not life-deferred. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
