Creativity isn’t reserved for artists. It’s something we use every day to solve problems, adapt to change, and discover new possibilities.

That becomes especially important in Chapter X. Retirement reimagines how we spend our time, where we find fulfillment, and what comes next.

Today I’m speaking with James Walters, photographer, podcaster, and author. He shares why curiosity is at the heart of creativity, why success and fulfillment aren’t always the same thing, and how a shift in perspective can open the door to new possibilities.

We cover:

• Why James sees creativity as problem-solving in disguise
• Why imposter syndrome doesn’t retire when you do
• What it means to rebel against inherited definitions of success
• Two brothers who waited until their 70s to hike the Appalachian Trail together
• 3 phases of retirement James has seen in the people he interviews
