EP 30 Redefining Retirement Expectations

With over 25 years in high-level HR roles and a decade in the tech startup scene, Kerry Schrader, 62, shares her remarkable life journey and how she’s shattering age-related expectations. We explore societal views on aging, the value of older employees in the workforce, and how Kerry is redefining retirement with flexible roles and mentoring.  Kerry"s story rejects the outdated notion of abrupt irrelevance at retirement. Instead, she highlights the benefits of continued engagement and mentorship, likening herself to a “life doula” guiding others through life"s transitions. I especially loved Kerry’s story about how she became a winning contestant on Press Your Luck! She applied to be a contestant on the show, and not only did she make it onto the show, SHE WON! Money, a new car, a trip for 25 to Australia, and more!
