You may be a bit surprised by a few of the things I say in the next 9 minutes. I didn’t really see this episode going the way it did… but when I sat down at the mic I started changing things around… and adding and deleting things.

I hope you find what I say here interesting and I hope it serves you well.

If you have children in your life, or friends or a spouse for that matter, you’ll find this episode an important reminder of an age-old, lifelong, truth.

A truth that Brene Brown puts this way, “When the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.”

How do you identify the perfect retirement business for you?

That’s the topic of this solo-session.

In 2014 while I was interviewing Encore Entrepreneurs for my book “How to Become an Encore Entrepreneur” It became clear that people who loved their retirement businesses took a different approach to identifying and building their retirement business than those who were less satisfied with their businesses.

In this session we learn from the experience of others… we hear how one simple decision, that any of us could have made, cost over $100,000. We learn how to take a very positive approach to what can be an agonizing experience.

My guest is Medicare Expert Paul Miller. Paul was referred to my by a friend who just couldn’t speak highly enough about him… my experience was the same. Paul understands the Medicare system. He understands the options available and he’s patient and I’m confident you’ll learn a thing or 2 you didn’t know about Medicare during this session.
