A lot of the conversation on retirement runs one way: stay busy, stay productive. Dr. Denise Taylor thinks that could quietly cost some people their best years. Denise is a Chartered Psychologist and later-life researcher in the UK. She spent 25 years coaching people through career transitions, then, at 61, went back to school herself, completing a professional doctorate on how people reconstruct meaning after full-time work. Her research subjects were all at least two years past retirement, deliberately, because the first two years tell you very little. What she found in them became the backbone of her new book, ThriveSpan: Walking Gently Into What Matters Now. The extra years we have gained, she argues, arrive roughly between 60 and 80, while health usually still holds. Spending them duplicating the shape of your working life is a decision, and it’s not right for everyone. Her alternative is not reinvention, which she calls exhausting, but recalibration: a reset in which you subtract before you add. She is also candid about her own path. Leaving a twenty-year marriage. Four days and four nights alone in nature with no food and no tent. A doctorate that started the October before COVID. Four acres of woodland that taught her, at last, how to stop moving fast. We discuss why purpose does not have to be a cathedral, why she stopped dyeing her hair on principle, what her research says about curiosity and being of service, why you should imagine the future you do not want, and why saying no is the most underrated skill in later life. Retirement is different for everyone and we have choices. Denise argues against a continue to work narrative, and she argues strongly. If you’re a listener who loves their work, or who needs the income, shear her as offering choice rather than a verdict. ________________________ Bio Dr. Denise Taylor is a Chartered Psychologist, later-life researcher, and widely published author whose work explores how we can live well as we age. With more than 25 years’ experience supporting career and life transitions, she has written extensively on work, identity, ageing, and meaning in later life. Her work has been featured by the BBC, ITV, and national newspapers. Her previous books include Career Coaching for Midlife and Beyond, Rethinking Retirement for Positive Ageing , and Find Work at 50+. Her doctoral research into meaning after full-time work won the Research by a Career Development Professional award in 2024. ThriveSpan: Walking Gently Into What Matters Now offers a reflective, psychologically grounded approach to later life, integrating research, lived experience, and the restorative influence of nature. Denise writes the Substack newsletter Ageing Reimagined and is a regular contributor to the i Paper. She lives in Gloucestershire, where time spent in her woodland continues to inspire both her writing and her approach to later life. _______________________ For More on Denise Taylor Substack – https://ageingreimagined.substack.com/ ThriveSpan – https://denisetaylor.co.uk/thrivespan/ Website – https://denisetaylor.co.uk/ _______________________ Other Retirement Podcast Conversations You’ll Also Love Inspired Retirement – Nathalie Martin Re-Visioning Retirement – Susan Reid, PhD Joyspan – Kerry Burnight, PhD _______________________ Wise Quotes On Recalibrating “You don’t have to reinvent yourself.

Lose your job at 25 and someone will help you find another. Lose it at 55 and the talk quietly turns to how you might wind down towards retirement.Policymakers tend to assume job search training works for the young and not the old, so they rarely spend money trying. Bas van der Klaauw (Tinbergen Institute) thinks they got that wrong.In this week's VoxTalks Economics, he tells Tim Phillips about a Dutch experiment that put older unemployed workers through an intensive programme built on one idea: teach people over 50 to find work the way younger workers already do, by working their social network.Participants left unemployment faster, there was a 10% increase in job finding, and the savings in benefits more than covered the cost. The catch: it helped the better educated most and was tested in a recession. Will it work just as well in today's labour market, where even the young and well-educated are struggling to find good jobs?The research behind this episode:de Groot, Nynke, and Bas van der Klaauw. 2026. "A Randomized Experiment on Improving Job Search Skills of Older Unemployed Workers." CEPR Discussion Paper 21464. (Gated)To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Bas van der Klaauw. 2026. “Helping the over-50s find work.” VoxTalks Economics (podcast). About the guestBas van der Klaauw is professor of economics at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and director of the Tinbergen Institute. An applied microeconometrician, he uses causal methods to study labour markets, education and health, and is a research fellow of CEPR and IZA. His work on unemployment insurance, active labour market programmes and job search includes several field experiments run with the Dutch benefits administration.The paper is co-authored with Nynke de Groot, an economist at the National Health Care Institute (Zorginstituut Nederland) who took her PhD at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her earlier work with van der Klaauw includes a study of how cutting the unemployment insurance entitlement period affects job finding.Research and concepts discussed in this episodeOlder workers and long-term unemployment. Older unemployed workers tend to have job finding rates around half those of younger workers, and during the recession the study covers, more than half of older job seekers risked becoming long-term unemployed. Van der Klaauw attributes the gap to a combination of factors rather than any single cause: more generous and longer benefit entitlements that weaken the incentive to take a lower-paid job quickly, and employers who favour younger hires expected to grow with the firm over a longer horizon.STEP (Successfully to Employment Program). A Dutch job search assistance programme developed during the post-2008 recession for unemployed workers aged 50 and above who had not found work within a few months of claiming unemployment insurance. It ran to 10 group sessions of around four hours each plus two individual meetings, covering interview practice, CV writing and social media, with a particular emphasis on activating the participant's social network. Participants were encouraged to have at least one conversation a week with a contact about possible work. The programme cost roughly 470 euros per participant.The experiment. The study covers everyone aged 50 to 63 who entered unemployment insurance in the Netherlands between November 2014 and July 2015 and remained unemployed for three months, about 50,000 people. Assignment to treatment or control was based on the last digit of the social security number, putting roughly 20% in the control group. Because participation was voluntary (an encouragement design), the authors report both the effect of being offered the programme and, using random assignment as an instrument, the effect of actually taking part. Around 54% of those in the treatment group took up STEP.What it did to job search behaviour. The job application register lets the authors watch how people searched. Participants made fewer applications to posted vacancies and did more networking, exactly the shift the programme was designed to produce. The change in method did not raise the number of job interviews, but it was accompanied by faster exits from unemployment.Cost effectiveness. Participation cut cumulative benefit payments by about 715 euros within 18 months, comfortably above the 470 euro cost, making STEP cost effective for the benefits administration. For participants, the lost benefits were almost fully offset by higher earnings from working sooner, so there was no large income gain to the individual, but no loss either.Who it helped. Effects were strongest for the better educated, those with higher pre-unemployment earnings and those not previously working through a temporary work agency. There was little or no effect on the lowest educated, who also had the lowest take-up. The authors find no significant difference by gender or by age band within the 50 to 63 range.Trainers and group composition. Effectiveness varied significantly across trainers, but no observed characteristic (gender, age, experience, contract type) explained which trainers did better. Group composition mattered too: participants did better when their group contained some lower-educated members, which argues for mixed rather than streamed training groups. One reading is that trainers may concentrate their attention on the more employable members of a group.Does it generalise? Two caveats. The programme was evaluated in a recession, when people were losing jobs through no fault of their own (frictional unemployment), and it may do less when work is easier to find. And it was designed for that kind of unemployment, not for the structural problem of workers whose skills no longer match available jobs, where van der Klaauw suggests training or retraining, rather than job search help, is the relevant tool.
Are you still playing by the old career rules, sending out resumes, waiting for HR to notice you, and hoping AI doesn't filter you out before a human ever sees your name? Are you frustrated that you “did everything right” (education, resume, interview skills) yet still feel invisible in a job market overrun by automation, layoffs, and gig work? In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Dr. Chaz Austin explains why corporate loyalty is dead and why every worker, employee, freelancer, or consultant must start thinking like an entrepreneur. Drawing on his doctorate in organizational leadership from Pepperdine, three books, including How to Find Work for the Rest of Your Life, LinkedIn Learning career courses, and a TEDx talk, he breaks down how AI has flooded the hiring system with noise, and why employers are retreating to the safest filter they know: real human relationships and referrals. Instead of hoping an algorithm notices you, Chaz shows you how to become the person people already know and trust before an opening is ever posted, rather than relying on random luck. https://youtu.be/4Ooqx32wiHs?si=HVYTr3Zmb0rgE6ks Dr. Chaz walks you through a practical, modern strategy centered on LinkedIn, targeted groups, and consistent visibility. He reveals how to position your profile, so decision-makers instantly see your value, how to use groups and volunteering as an “audition” for future work, and why you must embrace the reality that you now have two jobs: your craft and your self‑marketing. His “farmer” metaphor, planting and nurturing many relationship seeds over time, offers a realistic, sustainable way to generate ongoing gigs, referrals, and opportunities without feeling like a pushy salesperson. This conversation is packed with insights for anyone frustrated by ignored applications, unstable employment, or a nagging fear that they're being left behind by AI and automation. If you're ready to stop depending on resumes and start building a relationship-powered, opportunity-rich career in the gig economy, Dr. Chaz's approach may be the reset you need. Quotes: "Think of yourself as a farmer: plant as many seeds as you can. You water them, you nurture them, and you don't need all of them to grow; if a few start to pop up, that's your new client, that's your new gig." "Sometimes they don't hire the best people; they hire people they know and trust that they've worked with before." "You need to lower your expectations significantly about the old sending out the resume. You can continue to do that, but don't expect anything. A lot of it is just busy work."

Is work-life balance an elusive concept you have yet to master while running your life and neuro biz? In this episode, hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS discuss the topic with NeuroBiz Coach, Emily Duval Ledger. Many clinicians start businesses to escape traditional job burnout but then recreate the same patterns by overworking and glorifying busyness. In the show we talk about recognizing when "busy" becomes unproductive, using tools like time-blocking, planners, and realistic daily priorities to focus on high-impact tasks and reduce urgency overload, but, really, it is about much more than just "tools." The topic of metacognition—noticing and questioning automatic thoughts about productivity—comes up. We encourage business owners to listen to signals like dread and frustration, realign work with the clients and tasks that energize you and continually adjust your business models to support long-term well-being for yourself and your team.

Rachel and Lynne speak with Sarah Hubbard, author of The Intentional Networker, about using referrals and relationship-based networking to find new clients. Sarah shares her MAPP framework (mindset and intention, authentic presence, precise messaging, purposeful follow-through) and explains how to systemise networking with simple tracking (even spreadsheets), an A/B/C contact system, and regular follow-ups. She describes using AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude to capture event notes, create templates, and update a CRM, and offers strategies for introverts such as preparing in advance, keeping the day's workload lighter, and leveraging extroverts for introductions.

Canadian unemployment has reached a six month high, 18,000 jobs were lost in April alone. A look at the realities of trying to find work in the face of economic uncertainty, upcoming CUSMA negotiations, and the war in Iran.
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Statistics Canada's latest labour force survey, which shows that full-time employment fell by 47,000 in April, pushing the unemployment rate to 6.9 percent and youth unemployment to 14.3 percent. They examine these recent trends, especially their impact on younger Canadians, and question whether current immigration levels remain appropriate given AI's disruption of entry-level employment. They also explore the disconnect between immigration policy and economic realities, arguing for a more formulaic approach that responds to labour market conditions rather than political considerations.The Hub is Canada's fastest-growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to get our latest videos: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHubCanadaSubscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple) https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify) Want more Hub?

The MV Hondius, the cruise ship at the centre of a Hantavirus outbreak, has anchored off the coast of Spain's Canary Islands. Dozens of passengers and crew have disembarked from the ship. That includes four Canadians - who are being flown to British Columbia where they'll self isolate. Meanwhile, health authorities from two dozen countries are now working to repatriate the rest of the ship's passengers while trying to ensure the virus doesn't spread. Also: Advocates are calling on the federal government to make its pharmacare program available to all Canadians. The program is only accessible to residents of three provinces and one territory, after the federal government made deals with them. And even though Ottawa says its committed to pharmacare, it's also saying the deals currently in place have expiration dates.And: Some Palestinians from the West Bank are taking desperate measures to find work. Following the October 7th attacks, Israel cancelled more than one hundred thousand permits that allowed Palestinians to work there. Israel's government calls it a security measure - and is now bringing in tens of thousands of foreign workers to fill the labour gap.

如果，有兩份工作：一份人工高、福利好，但工作內容毫無意義；另一份工作所做的事情富有意義，但待遇較差。你會如何選擇？這並不是完全虛構的情境，在人類學關於工作文化的研究之中也有類似的例子。在本集節目中，我們會討論David Graeber對狗屁工作（bullshit job）的研究，以及Maura Finkelstein對馬術治療農場的員工之研究，亦會嘗試分析，爲什麽工作有時會令人感到如此辛苦、沮喪？主持：Misa、Ursula（本集以廣東話進行）If there were two job offers: one with high pay and great benefits, but the work itself is meaningless; the other involves meaningful work, but the compensation is poor. How would you choose? This isn't a purely fictional scenario; similar examples exist in anthropological studies of work culture. In this episode, we'll discuss David Graeber's research on bullshit jobs and Maura Finkelstein's study of employees at an equine therapy farm, and also try to explore just why people may sometimes find work so frustrating.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says it's time for Canada to recognize a Palestinian state, and will do so officially in September.And: The Trump administration has slapped a new tariff on copper. In the past few weeks, he has made deals with a few countries. The Bank of Canada says that has reduced the risk of a "severe and escalating" global trade war. But none of those deals include an agreement to remove existing sectoral tariffs — a fact that is worrying Canadian steel and aluminum producers.Also: Generation Z is struggling to find work. But that struggle is also driving many to become more financially savvy. New data suggests the group is better at investing and planning for the future than some older generations.Plus: Breathalyzer tests aren't easy for everyone, millions put on tsunami alert after an earthquake off Russia's coast, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's fight to get back into the House of Commons, and more.

Declassified Documents Reveal Obama-Era Plot Against Trump Newly unsealed intelligence from DNI Tulsi Gabbard shows that in 2016, Obama officials, led by CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey, buried evidence that contradicted the Trump-Russia narrative. They proceeded with an Intelligence Community Assessment that falsely accused Trump of collusion. Gabbard calls it a treasonous conspiracy to subvert American democracy. Democrats Blame Trump for Colbert Show Cancellation CBS cancels “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” after suffering 40 to 50 million dollars in annual losses. Democrats, including Adam Schiff and Jake Tapper, accuse Trump of political interference, though no evidence supports the claim. Bryan explains how partisan hysteria is replacing reason. Chinese Engineers Removed from U.S. Defense and Agriculture Projects The Pentagon and USDA terminated dozens of Chinese nationals who had access to sensitive systems. Microsoft is criticized for allowing China-based engineers to maintain Department of Defense cloud systems. Bryan says counterintelligence duties should be reassigned from the FBI to a more specialized agency. Youth Male Unemployment Rises Amid AI Disruption New data shows young men, including those with college degrees, are increasingly unemployed at rates equal to those without degrees. Analysts suggest AI-driven changes are reshaping the labor market. Bryan argues that tariffs, reshoring, and skilled trades offer a better path forward for America's young men.

New Zealand's unemployment rate is up to 5.1 percent and the number of people on the job seeker benefit is also up 11.5 percent since last year with more than 210,000 people on it. But while the government has made no secret it wants people off the job seeker benefit and into work - some commentators say the benefit's settings make it harder for people to move into employment - or earn more money when they do. Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Lisa Owen.

Rebecca is all about helping ambitious women redefine success, create balance, and actually feel enough in their lives. And let's be real: for so many of us, the pressure to be amazing at everything never seems to let up. Whether it's at work, at home, or just in our own heads, the bar is constantly moving. Sound familiar? Well, good news, babe: there's a better way.In this episode, we're breaking down why balance isn't about doing everything perfectly (because, spoiler alert, that's impossible). Instead, it's about defining success on your terms, creating boundaries that feel good, and finally ditching that sneaky little voice telling you you're not doing enough. Hit play to hear: - Why work-life balance feels impossible: and how to actually create it - The three enough beliefs that will change the way you see your life - How to stop moving the goalpost on yourself and finally feel satisfied - The sneaky ways culture sets us up for burnout: and how to break free - Why redefining success is the key to creating a life you actually love And babe, if you're ready to stop the hustle, feel enough, and actually enjoy the life you're building, this episode is your permission slip. You don't have to do more to be worthy: you're already enough, just as you are. P.S.
