The average age of retirement is 64, while the average age of death isn’t till 82. What are you going to do with your 18 years? No matter how old you are, the answer to the question starts today. Most men work to reach retirement without a goal of how to spend it—leaving the majority of them lonely, depressed and without purpose. That’s not Dale Tesmond. A former CEO and corporate storyteller, Dale spent his working years helping brands develop their stories. The lessons he learned then have turned his retirement years into the most fulfilling of his life. Whether you’re just starting your career, or you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, the choices you make today will determine whether you thrive, or flounder, in your retirement years. Time to make some aggressive moves.

Could you cover 2800 miles—the distance between New York City and Los Angeles—in 40 days with ten of your friends? That’s the question that close friends, JONBOB and David, wanted to figure out.
