Hans Finzel hates the term retirement - and he really hates the idea that retired people don’t have anything to offer the world. He and his friend Rick Hicks are both PhDs and former CEOs who left their roles as they approached the age of 60, but they now spend their time conducting studies, researching, and writing. In their new book, Launch Your Encore: Finding Adventure & Purpose Later in Life, they share real examples of individuals who have transitioned from full-time jobs to volunteer work, ministry, or even entire second careers. They want you to craft a game plan for life after your main career that will position you to succeed personally and make positive contributions to society - and never think about the idea of retirement the same way again. Today, Hans and Rick join the podcast to talk about why hanging out on the couch for 30 years isn’t a viable option, the importance of passing the torch on to others, the dangers of losing touch with the outside world, and a variety of exercises you can use to envision - and realize - your second act, even as you’re still in your first. You’ll hear a number of stories about highly intentional, powerful encores - and how you can build a healthy, satisfying life in retirement.   Get Today's Show Notes!

Four Areas where Choices are Looming 3. Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks 4. Gandalf - yes there are great lessons to be learned from the wizard!

This is the second in our series on my latest book Launch Your Encore, which I co-wrote with Dr. Rick Hicks. While the first episode covered some of the basic ground work on this topic, in this episode Rick and I are going to unpack the idea of having a vibrant life after your traditional career ends in greater detail. Life Stage Development Dr. Rick Hicks studied life stage development under Peter Drucker, which mirrors society. Whereas at the beginning of the last century Dr. G. Stanley Hall recognized the stage of adolescence between childhood and adulthood, today we are seeing a stage emerge that is after adulthood but really before old age when people are retiring from their traditional jobs to enter a new stage of mentoring, which we are calling “Elderlesence.”

This episode is part one of a three part interview with my co-author Rick Hicks on our new book Launch Your Encore: Finding Adventure and Purpose Later in Your Life. You can get more information on the book at it’s website: Launch Your Encore.com. Rick and I met about 20 years ago at a conference for leaders of missions organizations. After several discussions on Baby Boomers and what to do when you get to the end of your career, we began outlining and creating the book.

Listen to this interview with Rick as we discuss our new book, and why Boomers will reinvent retirement in the coming years. A lot of boomers we are asking the post career question, What’s next?” Our book is the answer to their question. Boomers must learn to be intentional about finding meaning and purpose in their sixties, seventies, and eighties (the 60-80 window). With the average U.S. life expectancy reaching eighty, the authors’ purpose is to help readers recognize that they are entering a new life stage, identify the positive changing landscape of late life development, and discover how they have the potential to maximize their new role as elders in this culture. No longer retiring at 65 and dying soon there after, people are ending up with a whole lot of life left after their main careers.+
