This week we are celebrating the first anniversary of The Retirement Café Podcast.

 

Believe it or not, we're on episode 55 and week 52 of the podcast, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to look back at the lessons I've learnt over that time from some of the fascinating people I've interviewed.

 

I wasn't too sure what to expect when I set out on this podcast journey. I knew I would be aiming to talk to lots of people about all aspects of retirement life, and it's certainly true that I've chatted to a diverse group of people.

 

As I look back at all the conversations, a number of themes pop up that are central to many of my conversations. So, I wanted to take this opportunity - one year on from launch - to share the first 3 of 7 lessons I've learnt from chatting with interesting guests.

 

1- Everyone has a story

 

2 - Retirement as we know it is dead

 

3 - It's never too late to do something important to you
