Today, I’m talking to Kerry Hannon. Kerry is a senior columnist at Yahoo! Finance and has been writing for decades about women’s finance, the changing nature of retirement, and what the workplace will look like in the future.

She is a workplace futurist and strategist on career transitions, entrepreneurship, personal finance, and retirement. You’ve likely seen her writing in the New York Times, MarketWatch, and Forbes, and she has appeared as a career and financial expert on all the major TV networks.

In her newest book, In Control at 50+: How to Succeed in the New World of Work, Kerry gives her readers a guide to help them navigate the post-pandemic workplace and take an active role in their careers and financial future.

In our conversation, Kerry and I explore how the pandemic has profoundly changed the workplace for people of all ages, how to conquer your fears and find work you love at any age, and the critical differences between how men and women manage their money.
