Beyond Retirement

Many people (including your host!) are quick to say "I've got zero artistic ability and NO creativity!"

Faigie Kobre is here to tell us that this false belief is quite possibly simply the result of something you were told or experienced as a child, and given the chance to relive those youthful times with various creative media, you might just break through those false ideas and find that you're as creative and artistic as some of the artists in the galleries!

Faigie explains that there are many approaches to art and creativity and we're often sort of funnelled into thinking that a project has to turn out a certain way to be "correct"; nothing is farther from the truth! Art is meant to be carefree and as diverse as the people participating!

Expanding a bit on the idea of PLACE being an important aspect of healthy longevity.

Healthspan, wealthspan, and lifespan are all part of creating the health longevity we're looking for.

Retirement shouldn't be considered the END of the road, but the start of the best part of the journey.

U-Shaped Happiness Curve - as we age, we're on the upswing again!

Ryan Frederick has a passion for helping people think about the impact of place on their day-to-day lives. After training as an electrical engineer and working in Silicon Valley, Ryan went back to business school to explore the megatrend of people living longer. He gained experience in the senior housing industry, living in a senior-living community for part of a summer. In his current role, Ryan leverages his engineering background and business acumen to help people make informed decisions about the places they live and work.

When people start to think about retirement, one of the things that comes to mind is where they're going to live. Many people think they'll stay where they are, while others have a variety of criteria that they rely on to help them choose the "best" place.

Ryan says that the right place depends on many factors, and the "right place" right now might not be the "right place" in the future.

Ryan's book, Right Place, Right Time, explores the significant role that place plays in our overall health and happiness, and in this interview, Ryan explains what we need to think about when we're deciding where to spend our retirement.

Walking is certainly an easy form of exercise. Most people can do it - at least for a little while. Dave Paul hosts the Walking Is Fitness podcast and last week I had the pleasure of chatting with him.

We talked about a lot of things related to walking. He had some good ideas for making the most of the time you spend on foot.

There is rarely an excuse not to take at least a short walk each day. So get out there!

David Paul is a 52-year-old fitness enthusiast who is passionate about health and wellness. After experiencing some weight gain in 2008, he started running and eventually ran a variety of half and full marathons. In 2013, he got a Fitbit and realized he was not reaching his step goal. This inspired him to start walking and he hasn't looked back since. He now averages around 20,000 steps per day, and walking has become his primary fitness activity. David loves the physical and mental benefits of walking and has become a passionate advocate for the power of movement.

Many of us are looking to be more active and more "fit", but we struggle with the idea of exercising regularly. David has been walking for fitness since donning his first Fitbit 2013 and he is a firm believer in the overall health value of walking.

His website, Walking is Fitness, and his podcast of the same name, are his testaments to how walking can impact your life in a positive way. Through his podcast, Dave encourages listeners to start off with just 10 minutes of walking each day - and he does it right there with you!

Today, Dave shares his approach and his recommendations for getting started on what could very well become your new favourite activity!
