Today, I'm talking to Ryan Frederick. He's the founder of SmartLiving 360, where he helps people answer the tough questions that come with living in an age where everyone is living longer. He believes that while retirees can thrive, their lifestyle choices will have more impact than ever before on just how healthy and satisfying their retirement will be. Ryan has been focused on the challenges facing people who relocate in retirement for much of his life. In fact, he lived in a senior housing community in his twenties! With over 15 years of experience, he's become an innovator, developer, and strategy consultant in aging and longevity. His work has been cited in Forbes, The Washington Post, and several other outlets. In this episode, Ryan and I dig into many great topics, including the age segregation that has unfortunately come to define the senior living industry. We'll also discuss how empty nesters and retirees can find a happier and healthier place in retirement when looking to make a move and how to take the principles of Blue Zones and apply them to your own life, even if relocating to Greece isn't in the cards.

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.

Today, I'm talking to Richard Leider. For over 40 years, Richard has been a Nationally Certified Master Career Counselor at Inventure – The Purpose Company. 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.
