In this episode, we explore what it means to bring retirement energy into your business—without actually retiring. It's not about checking out or lounging away your days, but about approaching your work with freedom, purpose, and playfulness.

Key Themes:

• Redefining "Retirement" Retirement energy means doing what you love and using your time intentionally, not escaping work altogether. It's about shifting from obligation to choice.

• From Burnout to Flow Erin shares her journey from being a workaholic to building space and rest into her schedule—starting by taking Fridays off for self-investment and creative exploration.

• The Tending Triad Drawing from our book Superabound, we revisit three sustaining pillars:

  1. Nurture your mind, body, and spirit.

  2. Stay connected to your big vision (through practices like "Coffee with the Oracle").

  3. Maintain strong personal filters that align your actions with your values.

• Business as a Game Steve reframes entrepreneurship as an elaborate, creative puzzle rather than a grind. Seeing challenges as "moves" in a game can turn stress into curiosity and fun.

• Quality Over Hustle Chasing quick wins (like mass emails or forced growth tactics) can leave you disillusioned. Building with integrity and delight creates lasting results—and a business you actually enjoy running.

You'll find that retirement energy isn't about stepping back—it's about stepping into a way of working that feels aligned, sustainable, and alive. When you treat business like an art form instead of a race, you make space for joy, creativity, and legacy.
