March 27, 2023
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.
I’m thrilled to reconnect with Richard and dive into his experiences, observations, and ongoing discoveries in Chapter X. From his insights to the latest reads and learnings, it’s a privilege to explore the valuable lessons he’s discovered along the way.
In this episode, we discussed:
- How unretirement looks today for Richard two years in
- What has been the biggest obstacle after leaving his full-time job
- How Richard and his wife are leaning into what’s important to them
- The current topics on aging that Richard is exploring with Next Avenue
