  • The Successful Encore Career - Welcome!
    Welcome to our initial podcast! 
    A funny thing happened to baby boomers on the way to retirement: Many realized they couldn't afford, or didn't want, to retire. Whether it's for financial reasons or a chance to try something new, more baby boomers are embarking on an encore career—a second professional act that can bring in not only money but often the fulfillment that may have been lacking the first time around the career bend.
