Rethinking Retirement: Living a Life Worth Remembering

Episode Overview

  • Small, intentional actions can create a lasting legacy.
  • Retirement should be seen as a new beginning.
  • Embrace aging and the wisdom it brings.
  • Belief systems and values shape our lives.
  • Continue to contribute meaningfully after your main career.
Breadcrumb Legacy is about being intentional in each moment. Every day is an opportunity to leave an impact; even if it’s not immediately apparent, small actions will accumulate into a legacy that others will remember.
Ever thought about what your legacy will be? In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being,' Valeria Teles sits down with Jann E. Freed, author of 'Breadcrumb Legacy: How Great Leaders Live a Life Worth Remembering.' Jann shares her insights on how small, intentional actions can leave a lasting impact, even if they aren't immediately noticeable. She believes that life after retirement shouldn't be about fading into obscurity but moving on to new and fulfilling ventures.
Inspired by her own 'shero,' Dr. Ruth, who spoke openly about taboo subjects like sex in the 80s, Jann aims to tackle the often-avoided topic of retirement with the same boldness. Jann's journey led her to write 'Leading with Wisdom: Sage Advice from 100 Experts,' where she interviewed top thought leaders on leadership. Her research evolved into the concept of 'Breadcrumb Legacy,' which emphasises living a life worth remembering through intentional actions.
In addition to her writing, Jann hosts the 'Becoming a Sage' podcast and writes for Training Magazine. The conversation also touches on the importance of embracing aging and the wisdom that comes with it. Jann discusses how our belief systems and values shape our lives and how we can continue to contribute meaningfully even after our main careers have ended. Her mission is to inspire others to live intentionally and leave a legacy that speaks volumes.
So, are you ready to rethink retirement and start leaving your breadcrumb legacy? Tune in to this enlightening episode for some sage advice and inspiration.
