  • The Retirement Hack No One Talks About (But Probably Should)

    In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest questions facing way too many over 55s — and how to fund a comfortable, flexible retirement without necessarily selling the family home.

    We’re joined by Inviva co-CEO Andre Karney, to unpack the evolving options now available, break down the common myths, and explore how people are balancing lifestyle, legacy, and financial security in today’s environment.

    It’s an easy-to-follow, real-world conversation focused on awareness, smarter choices, and making the most of your “second act.”

  • Todays Kids Wouldn't Believe Us

    Remember when the biggest risk we took was stretching the cord on the phone down the hallway for a “private” chat, or hoping the headmaster wasn’t in a caning mood that day? In this episode, we laugh about the freedom (and slight chaos) of disappearing all day on our bikes, no tracking, no texts—just a vague “be home before dark.” From garden hose drinks to zero supervision, it’s a wonder we survived… and even more amazing kids today would believe we did.

  • Jobs (n' stuff) Your Kids Wouldn't Believe Existed

    This week on The Big 6-Oh, we take a nostalgic (and slightly cheeky) look at the jobs and everyday roles that have quietly disappeared — from typing pools to running behind the garbage truck — and the careers our grandkids would swear we made up. It’s a celebration of a working world that once was, and a reminder of just how quickly things change. If you ever clocked in at a video store, worked a switchboard, or licked stamps for a living… congratulations — you officially qualify as “historical content.”

If you grew up asking “Are we there yet?”, this one’s for you.
