The End That Sparked a Beginning
🎙️ Episode Summary
What if your retirement wasn't the end, but the spark for something even greater?
In this powerful first episode, we follow the story of Curt Roese, a 61-year-old former CFO whose retirement felt... flat. But instead of settling into a quiet routine, Curt turned that sense of emptiness into a launchpad for reinvention.
From enrolling in a Master's program at the University of Florida to tackling lifelong regrets and building a purpose-driven platform for second-act entrepreneurs, Curt’s journey is a masterclass in late-life transformation. Alongside his wife, Shari, he has created Retirepreneur, a space for others like him who aren’t done dreaming, building, or making a difference.
Whether you're newly retired, approaching a transition, or simply wondering what’s next, this episode will inspire you to take that first bold step toward a fulfilling life, on your terms.
Note: This episode is produced using Notebook LM technology to create rich, insight-driven conversations.
