Steve Lopez is a longtime columnist for the Los Angeles Times. A four-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, he’s checked off a lot of boxes in his nearly fifty-year career. At 67 years of age, Steve has been pondering the question of retirement. In search of an answer, Steve talked to dozens of people about their own retirement-related decisions and found that there are about as many answers to the question as there are people. He documents this experience with his new book Independence Day: What I Learned About Retirement, from Some Who’ve Done It and Some Who Never Will. Duff and Matt speak with Steve about how, in his search for answers, he came to more fully appreciate living in the present moment.
