143: The Archaic Concept of Retirement: How it Requires Us to Think Differently About the Second Half of Life

Sticky Brand Lab Podcast

The global pandemic brought remote work to our attention, and as a result, people are becoming less and less willing to adhere to the traditional career path or workday. Between the great resignation and the quiet quitting trend, more people are rethinking their jobs, careers, and entrepreneurship.
We invite you to listen in as co-hosts Lori Vajda and Nola Boea share why more individuals are building their career portfolios by starting their own companies and turning their knowledge, experience, and interests into multiple streams of income. But that’s not all; many are choosing to create lifestyle businesses that allow them to earn a living while still enjoying life.
