The Boomer Woman’s Podcast

From Work to AfterWork with Don Akchin


Listen Later

Don Akchin has had a long, somewhat circuitous career as a writer. Since leaving the working world, he stays busy publishing a weekly newsletter, The EndGame, on the broad topic of positive aging. His newest book, The AfterWork: Finding Fulfilling Alternatives to Retirement, is a positive guide for older adults looking for paths forward in their post-career years.

Today we discuss:

  • How his “AfterWork” is far more rewarding than the Work was
  • “The Piña Colada Fever Dream”
  • Moving to “AfterWork” can be a hard transition to accept
  • Boomers have always been “making it up as we went along”
  • The importance of resilience
  • Internalized ageism
  • We end with me asking a rather impertinent “personal question” but it leads to a good chat.
