472: Creating Financial & Life Freedom to Live Authentically in Retirement with George Kinder

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome George Kinder back on the podcast. George is a leading thinker in the financial life planning movement and a pioneer of the life planning model–a huge inspiration to our work at Howard Bailey. He's also one of Professional Adviser's 50 Most Influential People, the founder of the Kinder Institute of Life Planning, and the author of several books.

In today's conversation, George and I dive into his newest book, The Three Domains of Freedom: Each Moment is Yours, Your Life Is Yours, Civilization Is Yours. In his book, George shares his expertise on mindfulness and life planning to help others discover their life's purpose and find a deeper connection to their values and aspirations.

In our conversation, we explore the difference between freedom in finance and freedom in life, what it means to live authentically in retirement, and the questions and practices that anyone can use to embrace the freedom of moments, life, and civilization.
