What To Listen For:

  • [00:01:06] Retirement is this day and age isn't what it used to be.  
  • [00:03:00] This concept of retirement. The work many of us do just doesn't have the same kind of drudgery that it used that retirement is the safety net from pain. 
  • [00:05:00] It's about spending some more time doing things that you are already doing. 
  • [00:07:56] Our startups should be helping us to get to our goals without necessarily having to sell. 
  • [00:09:11] Deferred living: You can work on a startup for decades and not have it sell, and if you didn't design it towards that every day enjoyment.
  • [00:11:00] Retirement should be the things that you want to do. And the question is, how much of it can I do right now? 
  • [00:12:50] Ease into it, figure out that one thing you want to do. 
  • [00:18:30] It's like popping a bubble. If you just pop the bubble on whatever that dream is and it's still interesting, okay there's something there worth stressing for.   
  • [00:22:05] With retirement, we would have endless choices of what to. But can you spend 16 hours a day with something that isn't a job. 
  • [00:25:00] For any major life event transition, you should be testing, you should be preparing yourself.
  • [00:26:20] Retirement should be something that you're constantly chipping away at, by creating more opportunities to spend the time the way you want it.
  • [00:28:00] If we look at retirement as a gateway, we can't retire. The ability to play tests is there, there's no reason you can't be doing these things.
  • [00:30:18] I don't think there are a lot of hobbies that activate us the way our jobs do.
  • [00:32:34] Do you really think that top performing professional athletes were still playing because they need the money? It wasn't retirement because they achieved financial success, they had satisfied themselves.
  • [00:34:14] There's a huge difference between wanting to retire and wanting to not do something you're already doing. 
  • [00:34:55] The ultimate goal of retirement is that nothing changes, because all along we deliberately planned to get more and more time to do things we want to do.
  • [00:37:00] Instead of waiting for this amazing moment that can change it all, change a number of things year end, year out, eventually the things you want to do during retirement are already in place.
