In this episode of Boomer Banter, we meet Bill Sepe, a spirited 73-year-old whose zest for life inspires everyone around him.

Bill's story is a heartfelt one, showcasing his transition from a full-time caregiver to starting 3-Wheel Therapy in Ohio, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free three-wheel bike rides to those who can no longer ride on their own. These rides are not just about mobility; they are about connection, joy, and rekindling the spirit of adventure.

Bill shares his personal journey, detailing how he found purpose after retirement and how his love for cycling has transformed into a beautiful mission. The conversation is filled with laughter, touching moments, and the realization that it’s never too late to make a positive impact.

Bill’s infectious enthusiasm serves as a reminder that life is all about seizing opportunities and saying yes to crazy ideas that can lead to something extraordinary.

Takeaways:

  • Finding purpose after retirement often begins with saying yes to new adventures and ideas.
  • Caregiving can be a transformative experience, opening doors to community and creativity.
  • Volunteering not only helps others but can give you a sense of fulfillment as well.
