I’ve never liked how we talk about retirement. Like life just… ends at 65. You stop being relevant, you stop pushing, and you’re supposed to disappear into golf courses and travel ads. That might have made sense in 1955—when making it to 70 was a miracle. But that’s not our world anymore. Most of us will live far longer than we think, and if you’ve made it this far, chances are you’re healthy, sharp, and still very much alive.
This episode is a gut-check: why “retirement” is outdated, why aging is framed all wrong, and why it’s not too late to build, explore, and press against the world. We’ve confused age with irrelevance—and it’s costing us. It’s time to unlearn what we’ve been sold, respect the long arc of curiosity, and show up again—with all our might.
