EP 43 Tips for a Fulfilling UnRetirement

In this episode of Don"t Be Caged By Your Age, Richard Eisenberg, 68, joins us to share the concept of unretirement and what it means to redefine life after 60. Drawing from his vast career experience and current projects, Richard offers invaluable insights on navigating this exciting chapter of life with purpose, passion, and financial stability. He shares highlights from his groundbreaking work at Money magazine, including the creation of the "Best Places to Live in America" survey, which sparked a cultural moment featured in Michael Moore"s Roger & Me. From there, we explore his journey into unretirement—a term inspired by Chris Farrell"s book—it’s all about embracing part-time work, passion projects, and personal freedom while saying goodbye to traditional retirement norms. We also discuss strategies for updating your resume, staying engaged in the workforce as a consultant or part-time employee, and combating ageism. Richard highlights the value of lifelong learning and community - he teaches a fabulous NYU masterclass on unretirement, where he inspires others to thrive after 65! Don’t miss his book recommendations, such as Independence Day by Steve Lopez, and insights into upcoming events, including the American Society On Aging annual conference in April.
