Listen "Episode #6: Interview with Ed Britton, the 'Not Retirement Rebel'"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I interview Ed Britton, a career and lifestyle coach who calls himself the "not retirement rebel." We talk about the retirement fallacies, why 65 is not the golden age for retirement, and what options people 50 and older have.
Ed lists three "passion pursuits" of not retirement people: Adventure, Achievement, and Contribution. He also discusses four stages of retirement:
Planners - those not yet retired but who are planning to
Seekers - newly retired who don't know what to do with themselves
Over-ready - people who have been retired for a while and know retirement isn't all it's cracked up to be
Cut loose - individuals who were forced to retire due to layoffs or other mitigating factors
Lastly, he shares four "ambitions" of people with a not retirement mindset: Contribute (to family and community), Cause, Personal Development, and Income Generation.
We focus on the income generation ambition and talk about it can be interwoven with the others.
