Episode notes
Question The Sunk-Cost Lie
- Do refuse the sunk-cost fallacy and youth-worship; your age doesn't bar reinvention.
- Try asking: will I be 50 still doing this, or will I have attempted something different?
Late-Career Launch Into Podcasting
- Jamie Golden started blogging and guest-writing before launching a pop-culture podcast at 38.
- She slowly turned that side project into a career after quitting her social work day job.
Create A Financial Runway
- Do build a runway before you quit: save enough to live several months without full income.
- Try setting time-limited goals and hustling side gigs while you transition.
