In this episode of The Identity Work Podcast, we start with Adam's new life as a father! Expect many 3 AM insights for future episodes! We also reflect on lessons from recent guests: Daniel's inspiring contentment and Robin's wisdom on bringing your identity to work. Then, we explore "unretirement," drawing from research like "Why Retirees Are Returning to Work."

We discuss why people return to work for purpose, community, and to combat isolation, even if financially secure. This shift from chasing early retirement to finding ongoing meaning resonates deeply. Stephen shares how one question from our talk, "If I had $50 million and had to stay in my job, how would I feel?" is already changing his daily perspective, reducing pressure and boosting confidence. How would financial freedom change your view of your current work?
