Mark S. Walton, a Peabody award-winning journalist and business author joins Enterprise Radio. His new book is UNRETIRED: How Highly Effective People Live Happily Ever After.

This episode of Enterprise Radio is on association with the Author Channel.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Mark S. Walton discuss the following:

* Tell us more about why you wrote the book, and why this subject matter is so critical? 

* The cover of your book states that unretirement—continuing to work in our late 60’s and beyond—is a “seismic trend that’s changing the map of life.” What do you mean by this and where is the evidence to back it up?

* So, to be clear, the national labor force statistics indicate that people with college and advanced degrees who aren’t working out of financial necessity are the driving force behind the big new unretirement trend? Is this accurate?

* What are the characteristics of people who don’t want to retire when they can afford to, and what’s motivating them to break with the status quo? Or, as you say in the book, to change the map of life?

* Do you think it’s possible for us, as individuals, to predict whether we’ll personally be happy and satisfied in retirement? Or whether, if we’re already retired, we may want to consider changing course and returning to work, and become, as you call it, unretired?

* You say in the book that “the more successful you are or have been in your career, especially financially, the more likely you are to feel like a failure in retirement.” This seems like the opposite of what you might expect, especially the financial aspect. Can you give me some examples and explain why this is so?

* One organization you studied in your research was the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, which is widely considered the #1 medical center in the U.S., perhaps in the world. Why did you focus on the Mayo Clinic and what does this have to do with the unretirement trend?

* Your research states have been scientific breakthroughs in recent years establishing that, despite what we’ve often been told, our brainpower does not necessarily decline as we get older. Therefore, many of us are capable of continuing, perhaps even surpassing, what we achieved earlier in our careers. Where does this information come from, and can you explain it in plain language to those of us who are non-scientists?

* Where can people purchase your new book? Also I understand that you and your colleagues provide seminars and other programs about unretirement, and how to succeed at it, through an organization called Second Half Institute that you established a number of years ago. If listeners want to know more about these programs, or perhaps share their personal stories or comments about unretirement, where do they reach out to you?  

Mark S. Walton is a Peabody award-winning journalist and business author, Fortune 100 management consultant, and Chairman of the Center for Leadership Communication, a global executive education and communication enterprise with a focus on leadership and exceptional achievement at every stage of life. He is additionally Founder and Chairman of the Second Half Institute at the University of California, the nation’s first university-based program to focus on personal leadership and career development in midlife and beyond.

This episode of Enterprise Radio is on association with the Author Channel.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Steven Chain discuss the following:

* Why is your book, written about a crime that occurred 40 years ago, still relevant today?

* How does the controversy swirling around the movie set of RUST compared to what happened on the set of Twilight Zone?

* Does Hollywood manipulate the judicial system to cover up its crimes or is it that potential jurors–ie. average citizens–are obsessed with the glamour of Hollywood?

* In your book does it basically confirm that a Hollywood Director will do anything, including cover up crimes in order to make profitable movies?

Steven Chain first distinguished himself as a muckraking journalist at Ramparts magazine in San Francisco, worked with Warren Hinckle and Hunter Thompson at Scanlon’s, and for years covered US military activities related to the Vietnam War and the US-Japan Security Agreement.
