"Undivided" Episode 27 The Retirement Divide with Myles Smith

Undivided is a podcast series which focuses on the divisions which society creates to divide people and focuses on uniting people in harmony.

This episode will focus on the retirement divide: some perceive retirement as the end of their active life. However, with advances in technology others view it as the beginning of a new chapter to utilize their unique talents. 

I will tackle the stigma surrounding retirement with my special guest, Myles Smith. Myles is a Certified Retirement Coach  (CRC), Certified Professional Coach (CPC), ELI-MP, and he also earned an (ACC) Associate Certified Coach accreditation through the International Coach Federation. 

Since 2009, Myles has been actively coaching fellow Boomers through the issues surrounding their transitions into retirement. He has helped Boomers plan, prepare for, and transition into their retirements instead of postponing it out of fear for the changes it brings.   These have been high-powered, highly-driven individuals who got stuck in the fears, the anxieties, the ‘What am I going to do when I retire?’, and… in some cases ‘What am I going to do NOW?’.

Mr. Smith has also helped entrepreneurs and small business owners plan business succession strategies and implement exit strategies which have allowed them to successfully move out and transition the businesses they spent years building and truly enjoy new careers in retirement. He believes retirement can and should be the very best years of a person’s life where they achieve more, contribute to the world around them, and live lives of meaning, purpose, and personal fulfillment.
