We're challenging everything you've been taught about retirement, success, and fulfillment. The traditional idea of retiring at 65 might be doing more harm than good. Learn how redefining your relationship with work, money, and meaning can unlock a richer, more intentional life—especially if you're grinding toward an exit or feeling uncertain about your next chapter.

Derek's a seasoned financial advisor, entrepreneur, and author of Let's Retire Retirement. With more than 25 years in the financial world and a deep network of 7, 8, and 9-figure entrepreneurs, he brings a human, purpose-driven perspective to wealth planning. He's also the co-founder of Cadre, a curated networking community, and a thought leader who helps high achievers design lives filled with meaning, balance, and long-term value.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Traditional retirement is an outdated concept that often leads to a loss of purpose and fulfillment.
• Redefining success means focusing on contribution, connection, and intentional living—not just financial accumulation.
• Many retirees return to work, not for money, but to regain meaning and engagement in life.
• Planning to work in some capacity longer can create more freedom and flexibility today.
• Purpose-driven work, even if part-time or passion-based, enhances health, happiness, and longevity.
• Designing your life around what energizes you leads to greater long-term satisfaction and impact.
• Small mindset shifts, like embracing gratitude and owning your choices, can transform your entire outlook.
• Investing in relationships, health, and meaning now pays bigger dividends than simply chasing more income.
