Retirement Reinvented: Why Learning, Experimenting, and Serving Others Hold the Key to a Prosperous Future!
The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why you were born. Personally, I know I was put on this Earth to teach other business leaders and working professionals.
Life is about purpose — finding your purpose and living your purpose both in your professional life and your personal life. Purpose is what gives us motivation and makes our working lives enjoyable. And as we spend a large chunk of our adult lives at work, purpose in work is fundamental. But as many Baby Boomers are starting to realize, when hitting retirement age, what fills that gap left behind?

But when that day comes, many are at a loss. I have seen many retirees walking around nonchalantly as if they have nowhere to go and no excitement.
