It’s your second act. You have the opportunity to shape the second half of your life. How are you making the most of that opportunity? You may be doing work or activities that are useful, but are they fulfilling?

Whether you’re leading a church group, working with the food pantry, or enjoying recreational activities, you need to come to terms with something: your fifth cruise may not be as interesting. Your second year of pickleball may not fulfill you in the way you want it to.

You're probably not sure what might be next if that is true. What you do know is that there must be something “next” for you. 

In this episode, we’re going to talk through some of your options for making the most of your second act. We’re also going to be reviewing an article from Market Watch titled, "'I Needed Something to Do': How Working in Retirement is Being Embraced by Older Adults and Companies."

We'll dive deeper into these concepts:

• What the pandemic taught us about the value of remote and part-time work.
• The demand for older workers by employers.
• Why retirees are returning to work.
• Possible new paths for you and your companies.
• Challenges that come with this new wave of older employees.
• An interesting question to consider.

Now, for some action steps:
