In this inspiring conversation, internationally best-selling author, coach, and keynote speaker Richard Leider explores why purpose is fundamental to health, healing, happiness, and longevity, especially in the second half of life. He explains why purpose is something to be unlocked from within rather than found “out there,” and how small, everyday “little p” acts of meaning can ultimately reveal a bigger life purpose. Drawing on decades of work with leaders, research in lifestyle medicine, and stories from clients and his own life, Richard offers simple practices and questions to help listeners grow, give, and make each day count.What We Talk AboutWhy purpose is not a luxury, but a basic human need tied to well-being and longevityThe difference between “big P” purpose and “little p” purpose in everyday lifeThe “napkin test”: gifts + passions + values = purpose/callingHow to think about purpose in retirement and the added decades of life many of us now havePractices like the two-minute purpose practice and the “grow and give” daily questionThe importance of relationships, community, and service in combating isolation and lonelinessHow curiosity and a growth mindset support purposeful agingRichard's “incomplete manifesto for purpose” and what he stands for in his workAbout the Guest: Richard LeiderRichard Leider is an internationally best-selling author, coach, and keynote speaker widely regarded as a pioneer of the global purpose movement.

Back with new insights, purpose pioneer Richard Leider reveals the latest research on why purpose adds years to your life—and life to your years.

In this uplifting and thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Patrice Jenkins, author of What Will I Do All Day?, to explore the real heart of retirement beyond financial plans. Together, we dig into why retirement is not simply about staying busy, but about rediscovering meaning, purpose, identity, and joy. Patrice shares insights from her decades of counseling and interviews with retirees, offering a compassionate, practical guide to navigating the messy, magical transition into post-career life. What You Will Learn Why financial readiness alone doesn't guarantee a happy retirement. The emotional stages of transitioning into retirement and why patience is crucial. How to rediscover passions, build social portfolios, and embrace “space.” Why successful retirements often include a form of meaningful "work." How to avoid the trap of being "busy but unfulfilled." Simple frameworks to plan your next two years, not just your next thirty. Key Topics Discussed The difference between hiding out and holding out when nearing retirement. The importance of purpose, agency, and intention in retirement planning. Why internal validation matters more than external praise after leaving work. How relationships - spouses, adult children, friendships - evolve post-retirement. Embracing play, experimentation, and curiosity in later life. Strategies to transition through the inevitable “messy middle” of change. How to think differently about work as part of a fulfilling retirement. Resources Mentioned What Will I Do All Day? by Patrice Jenkins Patrice's Website — patricejenkins.com Richard Leider's The Power of Purpose  Book Mention: Die With Zero by Bill Perkins Memorable Quotes "Retirement is not about keeping busy. It's about living meaningfully and purposefully every day." — Patrice Jenkins "Work gave you structure, identity, and purpose — but your next chapter can too. It just takes intention." — Patrice Jenkins "Perhaps work kept you so busy that you forgot what you used to love. It's time to remember." — Patrice Jenkins "You don't have to figure out your whole retirement — just the next two years." — Dan A Takeaway Exercise The 'What Lit You Up?' Reflection Grab a pen and a notebook. Reflect and jot down: What activities made you lose track of time when you were 10 years old? What hobbies or interests did you abandon during your working years? What would you do with a free afternoon if no one was watching? Circle one that sparks excitement and design a small experiment to try it out in the next two weeks! A Final Thought Retirement isn't the end of the story, it's the beginning of a new one. The key isn't to stay busy; it's to stay true. Stay curious. Stay purposeful. Whether you're months away from retirement or years in, there's always an opportunity to dream, to experiment, and to build a life you're excited to wake up to.

Welcome to the second episode of the Purpose to Impact series on Stories from the River. In this episode, host Charlie Malouf introduces Teri Frangie, the newly appointed Senior Vice President of Global Business Development with Core Leadership Institute, and Kip Meyer.  Both Teri and Kip attended the two-day Purpose to Impact program held on October 22nd and 23rd in Fort Mill, South Carolina, facilitated by Nick Craig from the Core Leadership Institute. Before diving into their reflections from the two-day experience, they discuss the evolution of the program over the past several years from its initial focus on authentic leadership to its current dedication to discovering and refining one's purpose.  During the course of the conversation, they reveal the process of discovering their own personal purpose statements.  Teri shares her inspiring purpose statement of "To uplift others and bring their score to light" with a tagline of "Co-creating melodies that inspire light and harmony,"  Kip reveals his refined purpose of "Excavating for hidden treasures within," which derived from "To help people see something meaningful that they do not see on their own." Then Charlie also reflects on his purpose, distilled to "Play the game," which started as a more lengthier version of "Play the game of life with a driven commitment that echoes and inspires others to rise to the occasion and reach their potential," before getting reduced to "Play the game of life."  Charlie is still weighing whether or not to include the 2nd part, which in full would then be, "Play the game. Rise to the occasion." The episode delves into their personal growth experiences and the power of collaborative reflection and storytelling. They highlight the value of the program in fostering deep, non-judgmental relationships and gaining clarity and confidence through shared vulnerability. They appreciate the iterative process of creating and refining purpose statements, emphasizing that self-discovery is an ongoing journey. Charlie, Teri, and Kip urge listeners to consider the Purpose to Impact program for its significant impact on personal and professional development. Charlie also underscores the importance of "slowing down to go fast," ensuring one aligns with their true direction in life.  Additional links and resources:  Core Leadership Institute: https://coreleader.com     Connect with Teri: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terifrangie/     Connect with Kip: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kipmeyer/   The Power of Purpose: Find Meaning, Live Longer, Better by Richard Leider - https://www.amazon.com/Power-Purpose-Meaning-Longer-Better/dp/1626566364   Richard Leider - https://richardleider.com   Richard Leider Explains How To Find Your Purpose: https://www.bluezones.com/2011/11/richard-leider-explains-how-to-find-your-purpose/   Lois Holzman - the art of becoming through play and performance - https://www.engagingpresence.com/lois-holzman-the-art-of-becoming-through-play-and-performance/   Lois Holzman, East Side Institute - https://eastsideinstitute.org/about/our-people/lois-holzman/   Maureen Kelly, Performance of a Lifetime - https://performanceofalifetime.com/member/maureen-kelly/   This episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/dxQVujiN3lQ  Visit https://www.storiesfromtheriver.com for more episodes.

Richard Leider, the author of The Power of Purpose, explains how to find a meaningful purpose and why it is fundamental to your happiness, health, and longevity.

Nothing drives us like a purpose. We love stories of epic circumstances that led to heroic acts. Whether it's Martin Luther King or your favorite fictional superhero who saves the world. Yet most of us lead lives that don't feel so epic and the idea of having a purpose can sound far fetched and yes, even fictional. I feel the topic has gotten so diluted. But I feel it's direly needed. Rabbi Daniel Lapin stated the opposite of depression is purpose. I again find it as the ultimate driver of all we do, or want to do. So here I bring you an expert. The OG. The GOAT if you will. Richard Leider is widely viewed as a pioneer of the global purpose movement and is actually referred to as “the pope of purpose”. PBS had him do a special called The Power of Purpose and he has eleven books and three best sellers. In this episode I dive in, getting to what I feel are the root issues on purpose that will help you grasp and embrace it further. We get into defining “calling” and “gifts” and I felt the conversation was more than profound. It's pivotal. You can find Richard at richardleider.com and my muse for our talk is his book, Who Do You Want To Be When You Grow Old?: The Path of Purposeful Aging. But the testimonies on this book come from people of all ages. Though Richard also makes a profound distinction between getting older...and growing older, that we all need to hear.

Richard Leider, the author of The Power of Purpose, explains how to find a meaningful purpose and why it is fundamental to your happiness, health, and longevity.

The Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, has recently warned of a loneliness epidemic in the United States and has cited research suggesting that loneliness can be as toxic to our health as 15 cigarettes per day. Unfortunately, societal trends do not support people getting together in real life. Attendance at virtually all community gatherings is on the decline, whether we are referring to social groups, religious organizations, or even picnics.Sadly, our 35,000-year-old brains are not wired for the isolation we are experiencing these days. Our social brains crave community and togetherness, and even the most introverted of us need some communal connection, but we rarely know how to do it or where to even look.And that is why I'm so happy to speak with Charles Vogl (https://www.charlesvogl.com/). Charles has spent time in diverse communities such as the Peace Corps in Zambia, Yale University where he did his master's degree in spiritual traditions, philosophy, and business., and here in Silicon Valley where he has served at Google's Vitality Lab. He is the author of a book I loved called The Art of Community: Seven Principles for Belonging. Charles speaks about the principles that help communities thrive and why we need them. I agree with bestselling author Richard Leider, who said of the book, "At last, here is an insightful guide to create the community you have envisioned for yourself and others." Amen, brother.   So, listen in as Charles and I talk about the art of community.

There are 75 million Americans over the age of sixty, many of them looking to continue the personal growth journey that has been the hallmark of their generation. They want to grow old, not just get old. The path of purposeful aging is accessible to all - and it's fundamental to health, happiness, and longevity. Just floating along from one year to the next, accepting things as they present themselves without question or intention, is a surefire recipe for dissatisfaction and despair in later life.The traditional milestones of old age - retirement, the death of one's parents, grandchildren, etc., are no longer definitive of what it means to be old. It's more about choices; we're freer now to decide for ourselves what being old means and how we intend to live our later years. But that requires us to confront default choices and reject easy answers. It means exploring tough questions like, "Am I living my life or someone else's version of it?" and "What's missing in my life?"Discovering who you want to be when you grow old starts first with determining your purpose. The purpose is a verb; it is action-oriented and dynamic. It answers the question, "Why do you get up in the morning?" If there's something you love to do - write, solve technical problems, or cook - that is likely one of the gifts you need for your purpose. When you combine that gift with your passions and values, that can be an indicator of your purpose. In this episode, you'll discover the three-step framework for unlocking purposes: Find out how you want to helpFind out who you want to helpFind out what energizes you (and what drains you).About Richard Leider:Internationally bestselling author and coach Richard Leider is the founder of Inventure-The Purpose Company, whose mission is to help people "unlock the power of purpose" and answer that question.

On a random drive to upstate NY in a random General Store I found James B. Flahertys' book ‘Dear Old Friends' - A Loving Reminder the Band Won't Stop Playing Till You Stop Dancing.'  The cover of the new book sitting on the very old wooden table pulled me in and I quickly read the first few pages. Jim's words leaped out and hit me in the eye like a bigga pizza pie!   I especially loved catching quickly he wrote the book when he was 42 and it took him 45 years to publish it! (My kinda procrastinator!) Talk about SPIRIT! I wanted to be friends with this guy!  "Jim" is now 87 1/2 years young, and I could sense from his writing he's an endless fountain of energy, wisdom and fun! I bought the book from Sharon the General Store owner in Wassaic, N.Y. who knew Jim and suggested my boyfriend Dave and I take a little drive up the mountain and go see the Inn Jim built back when.   Sharon said it was a beautiful drive to 'Troutbeck'. Which we had never heard of and of course which I was quickly googling soon as we got back in the car to put the address in my Waze.  OMG. We pulled up to paradise, parked and walked up to the Inn passing people in hammocks resting in the breeze. Saw the smoke of an outdoor fire pit calling and found our way inside to have a glass of wine in the classiest calmest most incredibly designed venue. (Although my personal calm was soon interrupted when my always calm boyfriend accidentally spilled red wine all over my new favorite light pink jacket and destroyed it. I yelled at it to shout it out to no avail. Sooo typical, as was my spending 20 minutes in their lovely lobby bathroom after discovering my tiny vial of hair smoothing oil opened inside my weekend purse and coated everything. Smooth, eh?)  Anyway … I read Jim's book in one day, loved his good energy that exploded through his writing and wanted to know more about him. I wrote him (he asks people to do that in his book if they want to) and asked him for ‘the next dance' I invited him to join me on The Debbie Nigro Show...to talk. I was talking about great ‘spirits' on my show all this week and well, he just fit in! As Jim wrote on his website:  "Dear Old Friends will remind you that you don't stop playing because you got old--you got old because you stopped playing. Besides a Happy Memoir from an author who wrote this book at age 44 and 85--yes, that's correct--it's full of loving advice for aging magnificently. You'll want to read it and want all your Dear Old Friends--not just your parents, to read and laugh and learn and think about how satisfying it is to be someone's Dear Old Friend.   XO, Jim I think we all come to know at a certain point in life where we realize that  'Dear Old Friends' are golden and truly the meaning of life. Wisdom only comes with age and time and that wisdom is to be shared. So, here's some more of Jim's wisdom.  "You want to hear pure truth? You're only as old as you think. I know what I'm talking about. I'm 87 this year—going on 60. Life is full of promise. Every day is a miracle. Join me."  "Having a purpose is fundamental to health, happiness & longevity. A brilliant scholar named Richard Leider, said, “Purpose is an active expression of our values and our compassion for others—it makes us want to get up in the morning and add value to the world.” Jim's Background: Besides an award-winning career as an advertising writer/creative director in NYC and Buenos Aires with clients like FORD, Pan Am, Kodak, Lever Brother and more, Jim built 'Troutbeck' from a pile of stones and then spent decades as Owner & Innkeeper of this multi-star country inn/conference center which was taken over by new owners only a few years ago.  Jim also published two novels and now happily lives in an art-filled converted barn nearby with an interior pool and two adoring pooches. Father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, he's a popular mentor and storyteller, and believes Work is much more fun than fun. He's 86! He sings in his church choir. Jim's a writer who knows how to make money writing and he's hoping some big kahuna will partner with him to help turn his novels to a film for the big screen or into a winning streaming series. You can read more about Jim at jamesbflaherty.com. Or say hello to him like I did at talktome@jamesbflaherty.com. I hope you enjoy the podcast of my live conversation with 87 ½ years young James. B. Flaherty on The Debbie Nigro Show as much as I did. Should make you realize... the band won't stop playing till you stop dancing.        

Knowing our purpose makes us less vulnerable to reactivity and it has amazing health benefits.  Taking the time to figure out your “why” is well worth the time.

We talk a lot about creating your Encore Career on the podcast: how will you transfer your skills and what will you do? As you can see, most of what we talk about is related to the question of “what.” However, today's episode will be a little different. We're going to discuss who you want to be when you grow old. This discussion is based off a book by Richard Leider and David Shapiro. I was introduced to Richard by Modern Elder Academy. We went through several sessions together and had many conversations about purpose, especially purpose later in life. One of the common themes we came back to over and over again is that purpose ties in with mindset. This is one of the first areas we talk about in the process of creating an Encore Career as well. We must do some hard work on our mindset to start navigating the path towards purposeful aging. In today's episode, I'm going to talk about this path, how mindset is related to purpose and creating an Encore Career, and more from Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Old? We'll dive deeper into these concepts: Why the path to purposeful aging is personal, not prescriptive. How aging is a journey. Why getting old doesn't disqualify you from being useful. Why the language we use to describe ourselves is important. The difference between growing old and getting old. You're a human being, not a human doing. Why you should consider the legacy you're leaving behind. Parker Palmer's two questions. The ultimate conversation you must have with yourself.

Just a few short weeks ago, on the Retire with Purpose podcast, I spoke to author and Master Career Counselor Richard Leider. If you missed our first conversation, you can check it out here. In that episode, we talked about the Napkin Test: a powerful tool that Richard created to help people clarify their purpose and find fulfillment in their personal and professional lives. After our interview, Richard proposed that we have a listener join us for a special live episode. He offered to give one of our listeners the unique opportunity to take the Napkin Test with his guidance, and I couldn't have been more excited. With that in mind, I'd like to introduce you to our special guest, Yvette Francino. Yvette is one of our subscribers and the founder of Carpe Diem Day, where she blogs about living life to the fullest and inspires others to do the same. In this special episode, which was recorded Live on Facebook, you'll get to hear Yvette in conversation with Richard as they use his powerful framework in real-time. You'll learn how the Napkin Test works in practice, and the questions you and a partner can ask to discover your gifts, passions, and values, regardless of your age or career. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: The four characteristics of the Good Life. Why so many retirees who move to the most beautiful places on earth end up moving back home within a year. How Richard defines purpose as we live it each and every day. How the Napkin Test can help you reflect, connect, explore, choose, repack, and act as you search for purpose and a way forward. How to unpack your life experiences as you create new ones.

Richard has been studying purpose (and the purpose of movement) for decades. He's led expeditions around the world, climbed Kilimanjaro, and shared his insights in a powerful TEDx talk. He's also the author of 11 books, including three bestsellers. In his most recent work, Who Do You Want To Be When You Grow Old?: The Path of Purposeful Aging, he invites readers to grow old on purpose and chart a path to elderhood with choice, curiosity, and courage. He explores why purposeful aging is both accessible to all and fundamental to health, happiness, and longevity–and how to authentically become the person you were always meant to be. I was introduced to Richard's work by Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, and now I'm a huge fan. In our conversation, we discuss the expeditions he's led in Tanzania, how he's helped people to find their new purpose and meaning in their post-career lifestyle, and how to reframe your life to focus on your greatest gifts.
