About this episode
Dr. Riley Moynes, author and creator of a popular TED Talk joins James to discuss his own retirement which led him to become the author of The 4 Phases of Retirement. While Dr. Moynes was financially prepared for retirement, he wasn’t prepared for the boredom and depression that followed the first two years of retirement fun. As it turns out, his retirement path was far from unusual. Dr. Moynes shares what leads to a truly meaningful retirement and how you can prepare now for a meaningful, deeply satisfying retirement, one that is about much more than vacations and golf.
