339: Winning the Retirement Game: How to Avoid Uncertainty and Boredom with Joe Casey

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Joe Casey back to the podcast. Joe is an Executive Coach at PEC and a Managing Partner at Retirement Wisdom, who helps people design their lives following their corporate careers to successfully navigate their transition to retirement. In this new book titled, Win the Retirement Game: How to Outsmart the 9 Forces Trying to Steal Your Joy, he walks retirees through the obstacles they're most likely to face in the next chapter of their lives. Tackling issues such as boredom, uncertainty, and drifting by helping them craft specific strategies to tackle these problems head-on. In today's episode, we dig into what Joe's learned from working with people from all walks of life. We talk about the difference between left-brain financial planning and right-brain life planning and why so many advisors end up having to unwind what should have been "perfect" retirement plans. We'll also talk about how to cast off pre-retirement mindsets that won't serve you once you've transitioned out of your primary career and much more!
