Episode 1 – Marty Kanengiser
September 13, 2020
No matter where you are on the journey to shifting away from work, the reality is the next phase of life is unknown. My guest today, Marty Kanengiser, is an inspiration in his willingness to embrace new challenges in this transition.
As childhood friends, Marty and I recently reconnected after all of these decades. After moving away from the corporate grind of a Fortune 500 company, he opens up about the incredible discoveries he’s found about life after work.
We’ll hear about his freedom from khakis, exploration of the stand-up comedy world, and discuss what’s next as he discovers new ways to give back and help others.
In this kickoff episode, we covered:
- The key questions Marty explored during the first 9 months of retirement
- Why he was excited about facing the next phase of life
- What led him into the world of stand-up comedy during this major shift
- His journey of exploring the possibilities that opened up after work
- What Marty misses about work (and how he’s transformed that loss into a triumph)
- How he continues to find ways to make meaningful contributions
- His advice for reinventing yourself beyond your job title and paycheck
