What if the Best Retirement is No Retirement at All?
Summary
This episode explores the rise of "un-retirement," where older workers delay retirement or reenter the workforce due to financial needs and a desire for purpose. Host Stacey Vanek-Smith discusses ageism in hiring and features David Lloyd, who launched Boom Radio to employ experienced presenters. The show also examines global solutions like Singapore’s reskilling programs and corporate returnships, arguing that traditional retirement models are outdated for longer lifespans.
