When retirement coach, Andy Robin, bumped into a friend a few years ago, he was asked how his retirement was going. Andy spontaneously responded that he was living the "tapas life." Upon reflection, he realized that his lifestyle, which was well-rounded, diverse, and certainly interesting, was akin to trying and enjoying tapas (small dishes of food) in a Spanish restaurant. Thus a book and a unique view of how to retire well was born!

Ron Hoffman was only 17 years old when he started college at UCLA. His only interest in attending college was to play baseball. Although he was a great player, an injury and then an illness sidelined him, and he left college for the Navy. Years later, he returned to school and ultimately earned a PhD in Economics. The degree took him to one of the highest offices in the Government where he worked for 10 years before heading to law school at the age of 57. Ron only recently stopped taking work from clients, and managed to sit for an interview with me to review his multiple pivots and tremendous thriving over the last nine decades. Enjoy!
