Welcome to episode 147 of Profit Boss® Radio! In this episode, I had the opportunity to interview Chris Farrell. Chris is an economics editor with Bloomberg and a senior contributor with NPR Marketplace. He brings a great perspective on purpose and careers regardless of your age.
According to Farrell, creativity isn’t a skill you lose. If you are creative in your 20s, you can still be creative in your 60s as long as you are given the opportunity. Even though many people retire from the workforce at 55 and older, they oftentimes still feel that they have so much to offer and aren’t ready to hang their hat up completely. It should come as no surprise that many retirees still want to live productive lives – one that is purposeful and meaningful.
Join us for today’s episode as Chris and I discuss how your second half of life can be just as fulfilling as your first half. Tune in to find out how you can create income and living life on purpose no matter your age.
