After 100 episodes of diving into the messy, hilarious, emotional and utterly human world of retirement, I return with the rawest and most powerful episode yet. This milestone isn't a celebration; it's a challenge. A wake-up call. A bold invitation to stop drifting, stop delaying, stop hiding behind old identities… and finally step into the second half of life with honesty, courage, and intention.
This episode strips retirement down to what it really is: not money, not timing, not spreadsheets, but the ongoing evolution of you. Who you are when the job title disappears. Who do you dare to become next? And what you're no longer willing to tolerate in the life you have left.
What You'll LearnThe biggest insight 100 episodes have revealed about human beings and retirement
Why retirement isn't actually about retirement, it's about identity
The hidden question sitting under nearly every conversation I have ever had
Why most people drift through the second half of life instead of designing it
How self-honesty becomes the true starting line of retirement
Why courage, not money, is the single biggest predictor of a fulfilling future
What it really means to write the next chapter of your life on purpose
👉 Answer the only question that truly matters:
What are you no longer willing to tolerate in the second half of your life?
Write it down. Say it out loud. Let it change something.
Because that answer is your starting line, your compass, your invitation to evolve.
Next EpisodeSeason 7 begins soon — with a fresh blend of interviews, solo episodes, and deeper dives into the emotional, behavioural, and wildly human side of retirement. Expect honesty, humour, science, challenge… and more than a few loving kicks up the backside.
