Navigating Unretirement

By March 28, 2024 No Comments

Today, we’re catching up with Richard Eisenberg, who embarked on his “unretirement” journey in 2022 after stepping away from his role as Managing Editor for Next Avenue.

Over the past two years, Richard has gracefully navigated this new chapter, balancing writing, mentoring, volunteering, and personal exploration alongside his wife. As he continues to carve out his path, he generously shares his insights and experiences with us once again.
