Are you ready to navigate transitions and create an encore life? That's exactly what we're exploring on this podcast! Unfortunately, I am taking a brief sabbatical to care for my 97-year-old mother. But don't worry, this isn't the end of our journey together - it's a transition that I'm eager to share and learn from.
While the podcast takes a short nap, I'll be maintaining our connection with weekly newsletters and bite-sized social media posts. This episode marks both an end and a beginning, a stepping stone into something new. I'm sharing the reason behind my pause - a transition that's personally significant and a lesson in adaptation.
But remember, with an encore life, you can create value beyond just winning the next pickleball game. You can work on something you love, whenever and wherever you want! And if you're still keen on unraveling transitions and creating an encore life, you can head over to my website - www.lynnfriesth.com. We've got loads of past podcasts, my newsletter, and you can also stay connected through LinkedIn or Instagram.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:

Today, we’re listening to a replay of one of our favorite episodes with John Tarnoff.
Tune in to listen here → http://www.lynnfriesth.com/podcast1/224
As Boomers, we have to constantly reinvent ourselves, just like companies do. And one of the most effective ways to do that is to pull together different pieces of ourselves to create something new. Reinvention doesn’t come from nothing. It comes from seeing ourselves in a new light.
John Tarnoff had a long career in the entertainment business. After his tech startup went bust, he decided to go back to school to earn a Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology – a branch of behavioral psychology that focuses on self-responsibility and self-forgiveness as pathways to healing and change.
Now, fifteen years later, as a career coach, author, and speaker, his mission is to support professionals over 50 – to redefine, build and sustain second-act careers beyond traditional retirement. John wrote a book on this called Boomer Reinvention, How To Create Your Dream Career Over 50.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Some myths about Boomer workers
- Why freelance work can be a great fit
- Why you need to find a tribe or network
- Why even with a W-2 job, you should think of yourself as a freelancer
- The importance of patience and persistence in working independently

We’ve all attended a presentation only to leave and immediately forget everything we’d learned. Why does this happen? Likely, the presenter wasn’t interactive, didn’t make the presentation fun for everyone, and didn’t tell stories. These common mistakes make the audience bored and unlikely to retain any information.
Go here to listen → http://www.lynnfriesth.com/podcast1/221
On the other hand, when presenters connect to the right energy, connect with their audiences, and perform their presentations, the impact is amazing. Both the presenter and the audience members enjoy themselves and are left with a powerful takeaway.
In this episode, I am talking with Rick Davis of the Davis Presentation Group about more strategies for giving effective presentations.
Rick can help you find ways to CONNECT to positive sources, PLAY with ideas and interests that energize you and make you come alive, and PERFORM in the role you were always meant to portray.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- The lessons Rick learned as he built his business and began helping people with presentations.
- First steps to becoming a better presenter.
- The typical mistakes presenters make.
- How many points a presentation should have.
- How to utilize stories well in presentations.
- Taking the time to rehearse and develop our presentations.
- The impact of being more intentional about our presentations.
- General presentation formats you can use.
- The benefit of pauses while presenting.
Now, for some action steps:
- Email Rick at rick@davispresentationgroup.com with the subject line “Lynn sent me.” The first 20 listeners to do so will get a 30-minute call with Rick to work on their presentation skills.

Willpower alone will never lead to success. It certainly won’t help you create a successful Encore Career. You need more than willpower–you need habits.
Go here to listen → http://www.lynnfriesth.com/podcast1/220
Today, I want to talk all about healthy habits and how to implement them. To help me do so, I’m going back over some ideas from the study, “Longevity and the New Journey of Retirement” by Edward Jones and AgeWave. They talk about the stages of retirement and the disorientation that comes with it.
When we retire, we disrupt the habits of work we've had for 30-40 years. All of a sudden, we’re launched into a new environment. Additionally, in corporate life, you had a level of drive. You pushed through things and made it work. In your Encore Career, however, you only have so much drive.
All of this explains why we have to depend on routines, checklists, and habits to help support us as we create our new Encore Career. Tune in to learn how!
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- How to create a new habit.
- How to identify the distractions that are getting in your way.
- Why tracking your habits is important.
- Why you need to stop being so hard on yourself.
- Four especially useful habits.
- The power of simplification.
- Application questions to ask yourself.

Prepare to have your perceptions of aging, work, and retirement shifted as we explore the profound potential of a 100-year life, inspired by the enlightening Stanford Study on Longevity. We dismantle the outdated notion of aging as a hard stop at 65 and delve into the need for a stage-based understanding of life – one where continual learning and multiple job transitions become the norm.
The New Map of Life project paints a hopeful picture of longevity. It suggests that lengthened lives can lead to transformative societal changes enabling us to redefine life itself – leading to more productive, meaningful, and healthier living at various life stages, not just in the golden years.
With age as a significant part of the diversity equation, this conversation emphasizes the critical role of inclusivity in the scope of a 100-year life. We take a hard look at the retirement system and the potential to create return ships for those who've stepped away from the workforce. We also discuss how healthcare redesign can shift from treatment to prevention, building a healthier and more fulfilling life for all. We're confident that you'll walk away with a fresh perspective on the potential of a longer, healthier life and the opportunities it presents for personal growth and societal progress. Buckle up for an enriching and enlightening journey.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Redefining age and aging: Ages versus stages
- Flexible life transitions
- Policy and social structures adapting to longer lives
- Promoting lifelong learning
- Age diversity in workplaces
- Retirement system overhaul
- Healthcare redesign
- Inclusion of all social strata

Have you ever felt paralyzed at the thought of a career transition? There's a certain fear that clings to us at the prospect of change, a grip that's often hard to break free from. It's understandable. After all, who doesn't fear the unknown, the uncertainty that change brings with it? But here's the thing - change, especially when it comes to careers, doesn't have to be intimidating. Let's walk through this together.
In the first half of our discussion, we'll confront these fears head-on. There's the fear of change, the lingering shadow of past experiences, as well as a certain resistance to new opportunities. These can all pile up into a mountain of overwhelming feelings. But by reflecting, meditating, and coming to terms with these emotions, we can find ourselves stepping over the hurdle rather than being buried under it.
In our second segment, we'll delve into common questions that often plague us during transitions. How do we begin? Who do we reach out to for guidance? As we explore these questions, we'll uncover that a transition can be a rewarding, fulfilling experience - a chance to create value on your own terms.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
10 Common Questions about Transitions
- Paralyzed by the fear of change
- Overwhelmed by the uncertainty that transitions bring
- Limited by past experiences and comfort zones
- Dictated by resistance to new opportunities
- Consumed by a sense of loss during transitions
- Strained by unresolved grief
- Deprived of growth because of fear
- Controlled by the inability to let go of the old
- Overshadowed by feelings of loneliness in times of change
- Crippled by an unwillingness to step out of your comfort zone

Much of our career is our identity. And it's easy to feel lost after you've given up that identity piece. But there’s more to life than your career. Leaving your old career makes room for a more impactful encore career.
Think of your life as breadcrumbs you will be leaving in every interaction. It’s not about getting older but about how many years of life experience you have. The more years of life experience, the more time, flexibility, and resources you have.
In this episode, Jann Freed, Ph.D. shares her journey from teaching to coaching, speaking, and facilitating workshops as a leadership development consultant and speaker. Jann developed a concept – called The Breadcrumb Legacy™ – in which people create new meaning for themselves and others through small daily actions.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- About her latest book - The Breadcrumb Legacy
- Recognizing your Life Experiences
- Why you need to pay attention to nurturing friends and colleagues
- The Modern Elder Academy

We’re constantly bombarded with distractions and notifications in the tech world, and it takes bravery to make space in our lives, no matter which stage we’re in. In fact, an average American male has spent 10,000 hours of online gaming by the time they're 21. 10,000 is the magic number for self-mastery of anything, yet what we're mastering is online games or social media.
It’s time we stop becoming over-reliant on technology and allowing low-value digital activity to shape the texture of our lives, and intentionally create that space to grow and become our best selves.
In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Daniel Sih, an award-winning author, productivity expert, and TEDx speaker. His company, Spacemaker, teaches people how to make space, and to think, rest, plan, and live differently by shifting the way they work.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- The business of teaching productivity
- The material that led to his book, “Spacemaker”
- The skill of “Resetting” in life
- Why Space is important in every stage of life
- Why tomorrow’s leader should train their brains to focus and not be distracted by tech every few minutes

Getting started as an entrepreneur can be a scary process. When you’re accustomed to having a reliable paycheck from a company, the idea of creating your own income can be hard. But if you have the dream of entrepreneurship, it can be a hard one to shake.
Starting a business often becomes a second career after working as an employee. A desire to set their own schedule, reap the benefits of the business’s profits, and build something from the ground up are just some reasons people cite for transitioning into entrepreneurship. But it isn’t easy, and there are some basic characteristics you need to have to make it a successful journey.
In today’s episode of Creating Your Encore Career, Chris Lalomia, owner of The Trusted Toolbox in Atlanta, Georgia, joins Lynn to talk about how he made the leap from a career in mechanical engineering to founding his successful handyman company. At 37 years old, he couldn’t ignore his dream of owning a business any longer. It coincided with the recession of 2008, but he persevered, his company survived, and today, he has 40 employees in the metro Atlanta market.
Chris Lalomia is still learning business lessons 14 years into his second career, and he shares some of his insights with Lynn.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Chris Lalomia’s background in engineering and banking, why he started his business, The Trusted Toolbox, and what his company looks like today
- The roadblocks he faced as he shifted into entrepreneurship and how his business plan helped keep him on track
- How Chris decided what he needed help with as he developed his business and how he prioritizes his time
- Why culture plays a role in how he runs his company and the feedback he receives from other entrepreneurs
- How timing and the effort you’re willing to put forth affect your business
- The reason you’re selling yourself to your customers as much as you are your product
- The three things you need to become a successful entrepreneur
- What The Trusted Toolbox has in its future
- Chris’s advice for those seeking an encore or second career

Today’s adults are living longer, healthier lives. In years past, when someone retired, they could expect to live another ten or 15 years, leaving plenty of time just to enjoy the fruits of a lifetime of hard work. But retirement can become less appealing when you’re facing 20 or 30 years of nothing but leisure--and perhaps some boredom.
It can be daunting to face starting a new career at 60, but an encore career can be rewarding in many ways. You may need to reposition yourself in the market to reflect your value proposition to fit your new career target. You might even need to polish your networking skills. With thoughtful planning, your encore career can be exactly what you envision.
In this episode, Lynn’s guest is Gina Riley, a career transition coach who teaches leaders and executives how to step into new careers. With her nine-step Career Velocity system, Gina works with her clients on marketing, LinkedIn, job searches, strategy, networking, and becoming thought leaders in their areas of expertise.

- Why an extended career has become even more important as we are living healthier and longer lives
- The amount of time having a growth mindset can add to your lifespan
- How Gina assists her clients in transitioning to a new career by laying the groundwork before the change

In 2023, I’m focusing on questions.
This idea came from a variety of sources I’ve been diving into lately. It was discussed in a book I was recently reintroduced to called A More Beautiful Question and in a course I recently took. In another book I read, The Highest Goal by Michael Ray, he talked about not focusing so much on goals but on questions. Ray calls these questions “live withs.”
I’ve been drawn to this idea of using questions rather than goals because too many of us tend to race to one answer or the other. Doing that just narrows our field of vision. I don’t think our goal should be to see how many answers we can find but, rather, to ask good questions.
In this episode, I’m diving more into this topic and sharing some of the questions I’m asking myself in 2023 both regarding my personal and business life.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- More on why I’m asking questions rather than setting goals for 2023.
- My personal questions for the new year.

Emotional intelligence can often seem fluffy. It can be hard to figure out what it means let alone how to develop the skill.
This is why I love the Beyond EI model. They get down to brass tacks when it comes to emotional intelligence and teach specific actions to take to become more effective.
I recently had the opportunity to be on a panel where we talked about Beyond EI’s new masterclass and discussed emotional intelligence at length. We went into the various ways that emotional intelligence is misconstrued and clarified why it’s really about becoming remarkable and even more effective.
In this episode, I want to dive deeper into this topic and help you understand how emotional intelligence can help you become remarkable in your Encore Career.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- The traditional model of EI versus the Beyond EI model.
- What a mind-body map is.
- Where we can have control over our responses.
- How to reframe your responses.
- Twelve self-discoveries.
- More about the Beyond EI Masterclass.
- How I’ve been impacted by emotional intelligence work.

I’ve always been fascinated by technology. I’ve also always been fascinated by working with people.
As a classic Industrial Engineer, my whole career revolved around exploring how people and systems (aka, technology) come together to make things happen.
Early in my career, I learned several different programming languages. I was an early adopter of the PC. Later on, when I didn’t see the use case for something or was forced to learn some technology, I wasn’t as eager about it. My company installed a business and operations software called SAP towards the end of my career and I wasn’t a fan of it.
Now that I’m creating my Encore Career, it’s all up to me. I don’t have anyone to “handle” the tech for me. I’m an entrepreneur and I’ve got to learn it on my own.
In this episode, I dive into this further and discuss my love/hate relationship with technology.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Some of the struggles I’ve had with technology.
- How I’ve started to “get my arms around” all the tech out there.
- Broad categories of technology you may need in your Encore Career.
- The importance of having a network around you.
- How to prevent yourself from getting overwhelmed about technology.

Willpower alone will never lead to success. It certainly won’t help you create a successful Encore Career. You need more than willpower–you need habits.
Today, I want to talk all about healthy habits and how to implement them. To help me do so, I’m going back over some ideas from the study, “Longevity and the New Journey of Retirement” by Edward Jones and AgeWave. They talk about the stages of retirement and the disorientation that comes with it.
When we retire, we disrupt the habits of work we've had for 30-40 years. All of a sudden, we’re launched into a new environment. Additionally, in corporate life, you had a level of drive. You pushed through things and made it work. In your Encore Career, however, you only have so much drive.
All of this explains why we have to depend on routines, checklists, and habits to help support us as we create our new Encore Career. Tune in to learn how!
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- How to create a new habit.
- How to identify the distractions that are getting in your way.
- Why tracking your habits is important.
- Why you need to stop being so hard on yourself.
- Four especially useful habits.
- The power of simplification.
- Application questions to ask yourself.

It’s your second act. You have the opportunity to shape the second half of your life. How are you making the most of that opportunity? You may be doing work or activities that are useful, but are they fulfilling?
Whether you’re leading a church group, working with the food pantry, or enjoying recreational activities, you need to come to terms with something: your fifth cruise may not be as interesting. Your second year of pickleball may not fulfill you in the way you want it to.
You're probably not sure what might be next if that is true. What you do know is that there must be something “next” for you.
In this episode, we’re going to talk through some of your options for making the most of your second act. We’re also going to be reviewing an article from Market Watch titled, "'I Needed Something to Do': How Working in Retirement is Being Embraced by Older Adults and Companies."
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- What the pandemic taught us about the value of remote and part-time work.
- The demand for older workers by employers.
- Why retirees are returning to work.
- Possible new paths for you and your companies.
- Challenges that come with this new wave of older employees.
- An interesting question to consider.

STANFORD Magazine released an article a couple of months ago that began this way: “Today's youth likely have decades of ‘extra’ time coming to them. Psychologist Laura Carstensen wants them to spread those years out.” The article is entitled “5 Ways to Prepare for a Longer Life” and it’s all about preparing young people for the 35 years they will have after retirement. The Stanford Center on Longevity has created what's called “the new map of life” to address the critical question of how youth will manage all that extra time. Their team of postdoctoral fellows has reimagined a society molded around 100-year life spans.
In this episode, I do an overview of the article and Stanford’s work on the new map of life. I provide a summary of what they cover in the article, the conclusion they drew, and how all of that can be applied to your life and Encore Career.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Why we must plan to work longer and differently.
- How to change the way you save money.
- Why regular exercise is crucial to preparing for a longer life.
- Why you should prioritize friendship.
- How to envision a long life that you love.

Many of us would consider ourselves to be experts in something: maybe in our previous field of work, or with a tool that we’ve mastered, or a system that we’ve developed. Yet, when starting our encore career, we need to understand how to make that expertise work best for us. We may need to transfer knowledge to employees that work for us in our new careers, or we may need to market our expertise to our clients to show them they are in good hands.
In considering this subject, I was reminded of a book I read back in 2005: Deep Smarts: How to Cultivate and Transfer Enduring Business Wisdom by Dorothy Leonard and Walter Swap. I was intrigued by this book when it came out, as it was centered around the organizations within the corporate world that I was still then a part of. But, I think that its teachings have great relevance to those of us starting our encore careers as well. In fact, Chip Conley of the Modern Elder Association recently held a book talk with author Dorothy Leonard to discuss how this information could be applied to this next stage of our professional lives.
In today’s episode I will walk you through some of the highlights of that book talk as well as some takeaways that I discovered from reading the book myself. I will also share a complimentary book that deals with the opposite skill sets that novices bring to the table to explore how a blended approach of expert and rookie mindsets can be most beneficial.
Learning to embrace being both the expert and the apprentice will allow you to utilize your deep knowledge while developing a learning mindset that can help you tackle the swift changes that starting a new encore career will bring.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- What are the skills of those with deep smarts
- Some of the best ways to pass down or transfer expert knowledge
- The characteristics and limitations of experts vs. novices
- How expert skills may differ from rookie skills
- Why rookie smarts can be just as important as expertise
Now, for some action steps:
- Check out the book Deep Smarts: How to Cultivate and Transfer Enduring Business Wisdom by Dorothy Leonard and Walter Swap
- Read up on the Harvard Business Review article on Deep Smarts

Your career path does not need to be one size fits all. In fact, today’s episode will help you to explore the possibility that your encore career could unfold down a completely different path than what you are used to. Though there may be challenges that come with switching gears and pivoting to different lines of work or specialties, you will find that often employers appreciate the skills and expertise you bring to the table as an experienced and skilled worker.
To help us unpack the benefits and challenges of making career transitions, I have brought my friend and former colleague, Dave Whan, onto the show today for a discussion. Dave has lots of experience in making the switch to new fields, specialities and spheres within the job market. In our discussion, he will share his perspectives as a chief human resources officer as well as additional perspectives from his role with the federal reserve bank and the various other roles that he has taken on throughout his career.Dave has a lot to offer us about his journey and the observations he’s made throughout his experience with career transitioning. His tips can help you to broaden your horizons and take on a career move that will bring you the satisfaction you are looking for, even if it seems out of reach.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- How to prepare to make a career transitions
- What to keep in mind when pivoting from one skill set to the next
- How to approach unfamiliar technology tools in a new role
- The importance of growth mindsets
- Networking tips when thinking about transitioning careers
- Why older, experienced workers are more valued by employers than you may realize
- Some of the workforce challenges that the US is facing and how encore career starters may help alleviate those challenges

What is the new journey of retirement?
We know that it doesn’t look the way it did even 20 years ago. Retirement, how people spend their time once they’re retired, and who can be classified as a “retiree” have all shifted significantly in the 21st century.
In this episode, I look into a report on this topic. The report was done by Edward Jones and The Age Wave Institute and is called, “Longevity and the New Journey of Retirement.” They performed a study of more than 11,000 North American adults, largely pre-retirees and retirees. Their purpose was, “To explore how the journey of retirement unfolds, the patterns of people’s experience in retirement, and the keys to thriving along the way.”
Tune in to hear the key insights from this report and what this means for all of us who are pursuing Encore Careers.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- The ideal length of retirement for today’s retirees.
- What today’s retirees consider the purpose of retirement to be.
- The five major forces currently converging to reshape the new retirement and the lives of retirees.
- The four stages of the new journey of retirement.
- Boomers’ new definitions of success.
- The four distinct categories of retirees.
- The five habits of highly successful retirees.

We talk a lot about creating your Encore Career on the podcast: how will you transfer your skills and what will you do?
As you can see, most of what we talk about is related to the question of “what.” However, today’s episode will be a little different. We’re going to discuss who you want to be when you grow old.
This discussion is based off a book by Richard Leider and David Shapiro. I was introduced to Richard by Modern Elder Academy. We went through several sessions together and had many conversations about purpose, especially purpose later in life.
One of the common themes we came back to over and over again is that purpose ties in with mindset. This is one of the first areas we talk about in the process of creating an Encore Career as well. We must do some hard work on our mindset to start navigating the path towards purposeful aging.
In today’s episode, I’m going to talk about this path, how mindset is related to purpose and creating an Encore Career, and more from Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Old?
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Why the path to purposeful aging is personal, not prescriptive.
- How aging is a journey.
- Why getting old doesn’t disqualify you from being useful.
- Why the language we use to describe ourselves is important.
- The difference between growing old and getting old.
- You’re a human being, not a human doing.
- Why you should consider the legacy you’re leaving behind.
- Parker Palmer’s two questions.
- The ultimate conversation you must have with yourself.

Do you want to be a victim or an actor?
This is the question to ask in a recession. The truth is, rough seasons like recessions can be seen as challenges or opportunities. To be an actor, you embrace your circumstances as opportunities to take action. You do what you can with what you have.
Think about it this way: you’ve been here before. You’ve made it through economic downturns and come out the other side. Studies have shown that the best companies accelerate out of a downturn in this way. Who’s to say you can’t do the same in your Encore Career?
Now, if you’re specifically asking what you should do next, this episode is for you. In it, I discuss what to do with your Encore Career during a recession. We’ll talk about the various options available to you at this time: keep working, launch your business, adopt a side hustle, and more.
Tune in to learn how to succeed in your Encore Career, no matter the state of the economy.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- How long recessions typically last.
- The opportunities that exist during a recession.
- How you can develop your skills in this economy.
- The importance of digital skills.
- Why networking is so crucial.
- Why you should work on your health in this season.

If you’re coming out of a corporate career, you may have a good-sized portfolio. However, now that you want to begin your Encore Career, what’s next? Will your portfolio let you live the life you want for the next 30-plus years?
If I had to guess, I’d say that your current goals include earning, learning, and leaving a legacy. You likely want the freedom to work when you want, where you want, and on the things that you love. This is more than possible. People in the second half of life are essential to the full functioning of our economy. The key is you can’t just rely on your portfolio–you need a platform and you need products.
In this episode, I explain why you need a platform and products in an Encore Career. These are two of the eight steps in Mike Kim’s blueprint to building a profitable personal brand. Tune in to learn what they are, why they’re important, and how to start building them.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- What a platform is.
- How to build a platform.
- How to create a social media platform.
- Best practices for writing your bio.
- How to determine your primary voice.
- How to decide who your product will help.

Last week, I shared the next steps you should take in creating your Encore Career. These steps are your foundation when you’re just getting started. They take you from being fresh out of your corporate career, having no clue what you’re doing to running a successful business in your Encore Career.
In this episode, I share some more thoughts on this topic. Many of these “next steps” are inspired by books I’m reading. They provide practical step by steps for going out on your own and building a brand as a “silver entrepreneur.”
One of the highlights I’ve gleaned from these books is the importance of partners. We just can’t do this Encore Career thing alone. Tune in as I discuss why we need partners so badly and some ways I’ve taken this concept to heart.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- How demographics are changing.
- How positive thinking affects our health.
- Mike Kim’s eight steps to building a profitable personal brand.
- How I’ve engaged with partners.
- People I’ve partnered with.
- Best practices for partnering with others.
- How partners have bettered my business and life.

So, how do we actually make an Encore Career a reality? Today, I want to get into the specifics of how to start one. Tune in to learn the eight steps to building your Encore Career, as inspired by my good friend and mentor Mike Kim.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:

I recently completed the Modern Elder Academy Seminar. It was an amazing experience. I want to take some time in this episode to share my initial reflections on it.
I’ve talked about The Modern Elder Academy in previous episodes, but for those who don’t know, it’s built upon the idea that, as we approach midlife, there are things we should continue doing with our careers. At about age 55, people start thinking of retiring but at that age, we’re only halfway through our adult life. People are living longer and healthier these days and living longer will be more expensive.
This is what the whole premise of this podcast and the concept of Encore Careers is based on. The Modern Elder Academy serves in this area as well. It was established as a residency-based program in Baja, Mexico and, since COVID required changing that, it is now an amazing virtual program.
There are video elements of the residential program, recorded sessions from thought leaders, some “stretch” elements like poetry and other media, and reflection pieces built in. Tune in to hear more about the Modern Elder Academy and my thoughts looking back on it.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- What kind of content the Modern Elder Academy includes.
- Why reflection is so important.
- Different elements of the program.
- The flexibility of the program.
- The different transitions we go through in life.
- How to navigate transitions well.
- Why it’s important to have a sense of purpose.
Now, for some action steps:
- Look into the Modern Elder Academy

Have you ever heard of 60 year career?
From age 1 to 20, we are in our learning stage. From age 21 to 80, we are earning. From age 81 to 100, we are in elderhood.
This looks very different from the way our parents lived their lives. Many of them retired at age 55 to 60. However, because people are living longer than ever nowadays, we may only be halfway through our lives when we turn 55. We must take some time to consider what we will do with all of the time we have left.
This isn’t just about Boomers. It will apply to everyone moving forward. So, let’s discuss the concept of the 60 year career.
In this episode, I discuss some ways you can change your mindset around and approach to aging. I provide some tips that help you understand why you’d want a 60 year career and how to make the most of it.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- What a 60 year career looks like.
- How our world is changing.
- Why you would want a 60 year career.
- How your thoughts about aging can affect your lifespan.
- How to have a successful 60 year career.
- The importance of technology today.

Midlife is a time when things start to shift and change. Any moment of change brings an opportunity for reinvention and revitalization. What do you truly want out of your career and your life?
This is what I have been exploring lately.
A few episodes ago, I discussed the making of the modern elder along with the book Wisdom at Work by Chip Conely. Chip is also the founder of the Modern Elder Academy (MEA), a program I have been going through myself.
MEA is on a mission to reframe midlife from a crisis to a calling. Its purpose is to help you find a renewed sense of purpose. MEA was founded as a social enterprise dedicated to offering people a place and the tools to navigate midlife and emerge refreshed, inspired, and better equipped to flourish in their next chapter.
In this episode, I discuss my experiences in the Modern Elder Academy.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- What MEA entails.
- How my experience in MEA has been thus far.
- The many transitions we go through in midlife.
- Simple mindfulness techniques I’ve learned in MEA.
- What appreciative inquiry is.
- Why we need to shift our mindset about aging.

Have you ever had someone, at work or in your personal life, come up to you and ask if you have a minute? Do you start with giving them directions?
Most people have a default or go-to mode when someone brings a problem or an issue to them, almost like having a tool belt around your waist. And so, when someone brings a situation to you, what is the tool you’re most likely to pull out?
Having a coach can accelerate your progress in creating your encore career. While coaching and being coached is simple, it can take a lifetime to master. Helping people think through the problem is usually a better move – and that's essentially what coaching is about.
In today’s episode, I am delighted to once again have executive coaches, Lori Glander and Rena Gainey, as they share their insights from several years of coaching and developing leaders.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- What coaching is and how it is different from giving direction or advice
- Coaching is accessible to anyone.
- A demonstration of the “Simple Coaching Process” with me as the coachee so you can see how it works. (I actually made progress on my goal during this coaching conversation.)

As Boomers, we have to reinvent ourselves as companies themselves need to reinvent themselves. And one of the most effective ways to do that is to pull together different pieces of ourselves to create some value that we can bring to the table.
Today, we’re talking with John Tarnoff who had a long career in the entertainment business. After his tech startup went bust, he decided to go back to school to earn a Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology – a branch of behavioral psychology that focuses on self-responsibility and self-forgiveness as pathways to healing and change.
Now, fifteen years later, as a career coach, author, and speaker, his mission is to support professionals over 50 – to redefine, build and sustain second-act careers beyond traditional retirement. John wrote a book on this called Boomer Reinvention, How To Create Your Dream Career Over 50.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Some myths around Boomer workers
- Why freelance work can be a great fit
- Why you need to find a tribe or network
- Why even with a W-2 job, you should think of yourself as a freelancer
- The importance of patience and persistence in working independently

Did you know that entrepreneurs actually decline between their 30’s and 50s?
Most people assume that the more successful they are, they're less susceptible to becoming irrelevant later in life. The truth is, the greater our achievements are in our early life and the greater attachment we have to them, the more we notice how we’re not performing quite as well as we used to.
In this episode, I’ll be sharing some insights from the books of Arthur C. Brooks, where he proposes that professional decline can come much sooner than you think. We also talk about how you can transition to your role using crystallized intelligence over fluid intelligence and get the most out of your encore career.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- A brief background about Arthur C. Brooks
- The contrast between poets and historians
- The difference between fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence
- The trap of achievement using fluid intelligence
- Transition to roles using crystallized intelligence
- Re-imagining how you are keeping score

What do modern elders bring to the table? Contrary to stereotypes of older workers being poor performers and resistant to change, among many myths out there, modern elders have a lot more to offer than most people think.
In this episode, I’m doing a review of the book, “Wisdom at Work: The Making of a Modern Elder” by Chip Conley, which has been instrumental in my thinking about an encore career.
Working from his own experience, Chip ran a boutique hotel company for over 24 years before selling it in the early 2000s. With his extensive experience in the hospitality industry, Chip soon became a mentor to the CEO of Airbnb and, eventually, its employees, who were only half of Chip’s age. Without knowledge of the technology side of business, Chip was also open to learning more about the things he needed to learn.
Whether you’re still figuring out what to do in the next phase of your life, or you’re already transitioning to a new career, take insights from what I’m going to be sharing with you today. Be open to growth, hold on to curiosity, and get energized for the second half of your life!
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Moving from a knowledge worker to a wisdom worker
- What an elder could bring to the table
- What modern elders need to do
- Don’t retire, but rewire
- Looking for examples of people who grew in their second half of life
- Start with making the world better for five people
- Myths and stereotypes of older workers
- The digital quotient

Today I’m going to look over two books that have been very helpful for me in my encore career. They are great resources for anyone considering an encore career. The books explore many of the things that go on when building a business in your retirement-age years.
The first book is Repurpose Your Career: A Practical Guide for the Second Half of Life by Marc Miller and Susan Lahey. I interviewed Marc on episode 111 of the podcast so you can hear more about him there. The second book is Boomer Reinvention: How to Create Your Dream Career over 50 by John Tarnoff.
Both these books have similar themes. They are aimed at people who are working on creating encore careers. However, they are also a little bit different as they have some different ways of approaching this topic.
All in all, both of these books have really helped me in my thinking. Obviously, I'm not the one who invented the idea of an encore career. However, I've been on the journey myself and, if you have any interest in creating an encore career, I recommend each of these books as valuable resources.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Marc Miller’s career journey.
- The mindset change we must make in our encore careers.
- Why we need to be both mentors and mentees.
- How to build a new, diverse network in your encore career.
- Marc’s SMAC acronym.
- John Tarnoff’s background in entertainment.
- Why we need to redefine who we are, what we want to do, and why we want to do it.
- John’s five-step methodology.
- How to reconcile the weaknesses in your resume.
- What a SWOT analysis is and how to do one.
- How to present yourself as a thought leader.
- How to combat ageism with energy and enthusiasm.

Last week, I reflected on some of the things that happened here on Creating Your Encore Career in 2021. I thanked many of the people who helped me make everything happen and looked back at the changes we made and our accomplishments over the past year.
Today, I discuss my intentions for 2022. Throughout the episode, I share some new things I want to implement here on the podcast in the new year. I also discuss some of my goals regarding my personal encore career.
Finally, in this episode I share some of the mindset goals I’m setting this year. Being on the encore career path myself, I've learned that mindset is what really holds us back. Our mindsets deserve more attention than we typically give them. So, today I’ll explain how I plan to make some personal mindset changes.
I hope you all enjoy this summary of where I want to go in 2022 and will join me as we move into the new year!
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- New features I plan to add to the podcast in 2022.

In July, I pivoted this podcast and renamed it “Creating Your Encore Career.” I had talked about that subject often in the last year but decided to do a full rebrand. Rather than work on manufacturing leadership, I wanted to work on helping people start Encore Careers.
While that happened, we had what they call the “Great Resignation.” This became another driving force for me to start talking about encore careers. I knew that there were a lot of people who were my age or even younger who were retiring but still wanted to participate in the world of work and get paid for it. They just didn't know how.
I knew I could help these people because I’ve been on that same journey myself for over five years. However, I came to realize that this was not something I could do by myself in a vacuum.
So, in this episode, I spend some time reflecting on all of the people and groups I’ve had the chance to work with over the past year of Creating Your Encore Career. I also reflect on the year we’ve had and the things we’ve covered here on the podcast.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- All of the gratitude I have to give this year.
- Some podcast stats.
- What the Great Resignation is.
- The people and groups that have come alongside me in 2021.
- A recap on the research out there on encore careers.
- Why I refuse to retire.
- What a portfolio career is.

Here on this podcast, I talk a lot about Encore Careers. I teach you how to create your own. I bring on guests who have built Encore Careers (or pursued entrepreneurship in any form) to share their insights with you.
However, I don’t often talk about my motivations for creating my own Encore Career.
In this episode, I share five reasons why I chose to launch my Encore Career. These five reasons are what inspired me to refuse to retire and instead start something brand new in my later years.
I hope you find this reflection interesting and that it inspires you to begin your pursuit of an Encore Career, no matter where you are right now.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Why I wanted to build my own business and work for myself.
- Why I wanted to go into coaching in particular.
- Why I chose to build a business instead of just doing volunteer work.
- How much potential we have in our “retirement” years.
- What “Silver Talent” is.
- How I can provide the talent our world needs in my Encore Career.

Today, I’m talking with Tasha Wilmore. Tasha is the owner of Help On Deck, a firm that supplies support work for entrepreneurs.
Tasha has a remarkable story about creating her business. She is a military spouse and helps other military spouses have a remote work career. Because those serving in the military often relocate, being able to do remote work is a great help for spouses.
In this episode, Tasha and I talk about how her company helps entrepreneurs get the help they need. A few of her services include logistics, travel management, client liaison, email management, CRM management, scheduling/calendar, and social media. Most of the time, these activities will take up a lot of your time and not earn you any money. Therefore, it just makes sense to outsource them.
Tune in to hear all about how Tasha can help you do just that as you’re building and scaling your Encore Career.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Tasha’s business-building journey.
- How to set your prices.
- How Tasha learned all of the tools she needed to use in her business.
- How to figure out what you need help with in your business.
- How to know when to delegate a task.
- How to stay in communication with your outsource help without micromanaging them.

Today I’m talking with Dennis McIntee of the Leadership Development Group. Dennis and I met through Jonathan Milligan and his programs. Since then, I have enjoyed keeping up with Dennis and his projects.
Dennis literally wrote the book on drama-free teams. It is titled The 8 Qualities of Drama Free Teams: Do More. Stress Less. Zero Drama. He still does this kind of work today as he helps organizations and leaders eliminate the drama from work and get more results.
As I was developing my Encore Career, Dennis repeatedly asked me one question: “What is your fastest path to cash?” He told me that that was what I had to focus on as I built my business. This principle holds true for anyone creating an Encore Career.
In this episode, Dennis and I discuss the stories we tell ourselves. If you’ve ever felt like your thoughts or mindset were getting in your way, tune in. Dennis will encourage you and teach you some great insights on overcoming these obstacles of the mind.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- How the stories we tell ourselves and others can help us or create unhelpful drama
- Why believing that I or anyone else can help you is much less important than believing that you can do it
- Why knowing who is more important than knowing how
- Retirement means being “put out of use”
- Why we should think of retirement as a time to “refire” and put our knowledge, skills, and experiences to use

Dale is also a university faculty member at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He teaches engineering and leads the executive graduate program in Information Engineering and Management as well as the entrepreneurship program.
Dale’s passion is helping people who want to take responsibility for their lives and break out of the corporate rut. He comes alongside budding entrepreneurs who want to take back control of their time, money, and life by teaching them they are a company of one. This means that, instead of teaching people to just leave their day job, Dale maximizes the things we all want.
What is it that we all desire? Control of our time (personal freedom), control of our income (not being controlled by our pay grade and 3% raises), and control of our lives (getting back to being in control instead of being controlled by someone else’s arbitrary system).
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- How to create a value proposition based on your expertise.
- How, even in your current job, you might talk with your boss about the value he needs from you.
- How to figure out the pain points you’ll solve when creating your new business.
- The surprising thing that Dale discovered about Chick-Fil-A’s target customer.

Today, we are going to be talking with Paul Klein. I’ve known Paul and admired his work for several years. He is the kind of person who has unstoppable energy and enthusiasm for the work that he does.
As many of us remember, 2009 marked the peak of the recession. Layoffs were rampant and the economy was tanking. At this time, Paul had a family to support and a hefty mortgage to go along with it. However, it was at this exact time that he chose to leave a safe, secure, and successful 18-year career.
Even though he was at the top of his position, had no commute, and had full benefits, retirement, and a 6-figure salary, Paul left to start his own consulting business. Sure, he was experiencing a very successful career, but he felt unfulfilled and miserable and just couldn't take it anymore.
Following the principles of virtual mentors such as Dan Miller and others, he decided he had to create his own way. He made the decision to figure it out and quit relying on others. He didn't make excuses or blame his employer, the system, or others. He looked inward and said, "I am going to figure this out and make it work!" Tune in to hear all about his journey.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- How Paul created three businesses after leaving his corporate career.
- The mindset shifts he had to make when going from corporate to entrepreneur.
- Why you shouldn’t think about getting paid hourly anymore once you go out on your own.
- Why you should use price options.

Today we are talking with Ernie Svenson. I met Ernie at a conference and have always been intrigued by how he developed his new business. He used to practice law the “traditional way,” handling complex business litigation cases. This meant he juggled countless boxes of paper organized by many team members.
He did this until he learned how to create a 100% paperless, highly automated law practice. This was a law practice that was financially rewarding and personally fulfilling. There was low overhead, low stress, and more freedom.
Now, Ernie helps lawyers who want to do the same for their practices. He found getting new clients easy and inexpensive; his main marketing tool was a simple website that cost less than $100. Additionally, because his overhead was ridiculously low, he was able to earn a good living without working crazy hours. Today we are talking with Ernie all about how he actually did this.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Why working on your mindset is a critical first step.
- Why you need to consider your business to be a knowledge factory.
- Why being able to document your processes is critical to working with a team.
- Why you shouldn’t chase technology changes.

Today, I’m talking with David Norris. David began his banking career in 1981. For the next 25 years, he helped his bank grow from a two-location company with $20 million in total assets to a bank with 35 locations in 24 communities and nearly $3 billion in total assets. It is now the 18th largest bank in Texas.
David was also the team lead on nine different bank mergers and acquisitions. Afterwards, he decided that it was time for him to pursue a new goal. Now, he provides transformational leadership coaching and development as a solo entrepreneur.
Before making this transition, David spent a couple of years preparing himself and helping the company prepare for his transition. To prepare himself, he studied many of the top authors in the leadership space and even got some certifications. One of David’s core principles is that it’s not just experience that develops a leader but “evaluated experience” through applied action. This is where his one-on-one coaching comes in.
Tune into this episode to hear more about David’s journey and learn from his insights on transformational leadership.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- David’s journey from a senior bank executive to creating his own business.
- How he not only had to learn new things but also “unlearn” some other things.
- Why you should seek out a “new room” of connections and colleagues.
- How great coaches add value to their clients by providing them with the “truth.”
- How attention to your calendar makes a big difference as a solopreneur.
- Why David suggests that every leader carry two books with them.

As I’ve talked about before, some of the key “perspectives” you need to adopt in an Encore Career are growth mindset, own your expertise, be an apprentice, develop your value proposition, and balance your human skills with your technical expertise. These are the things that will help you build a strong foundation for an Encore Career.
However, these aren’t perspectives you can just wake up one day and possess. There are certain ideas and activities you must take to develop them. I am sharing my top five of these ideas, activities, and experiences with you in this episode. Tune in to start building your foundation.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:

- Why Masterminds and other peer groups are so beneficial.
- Why you should join communities and which you could join.
- The importance of conferences.
- Examples of conferences you can attend.

Today, we are going to be talking with Chelsea Brinkley. I have known and admired Chelsea for several years now and she is a very smart and amazing person. Every day, she helps entrepreneurs and freelancers create efficient businesses so they can create the life they desire on their own terms.
In 2016, Chelsea and her husband made the decision to leave their corporate jobs and become full-time remote workers. They wanted the freedom to be able to travel often, work from wherever they were, and live where they wanted. They ultimately wanted to enjoy life and not have to wait for retirement to do all those things. Chelsea’s desire to create life on her own terms inspired what she does for other entrepreneurs now.
If you’re an entrepreneur who needs to get some systems and processes in place, has questions about how to work best with remote team members, or needs to delegate some work to a virtual executive assistant, today’s interview will be of great help to you. In this episode, Chelsea shares great ideas for people developing encore careers to get productive in a great way. She is a pleasure to know and work with and I’m sure you will enjoy this conversation with her!
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:

I started my podcast to help manufacturing leaders. My goal was to help them create a compelling future for themselves, their teams and organization. And so, I focused on leadership skills, organizational skills, learning, development and technology. While these are still issues, what I found is that the #1 issue is talent and workforce.
Many people are already working on bringing new talent into the workforce. And so, I decided to focus on the “experienced” workforce that is on the sidelines either by choice – or not by choice – who could provide the needed expertise and skills, especially for small and medium-sized companies.
In this 100th episode, we’ll talk about why I am pivoting my podcast to Creating Your Encore Career and Becoming a Silver Entrepreneur
- Work Where You Want To
- Work When You Want To
- And Work At The Pace You Want To
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:

Today’s episode is all about doing customer discovery. If you’re not familiar with this concept, customer discovery is a subset of the business model generation process. It’s probably the most important piece of the lean startup puzzle.
Take it from the Startup Owner’s Manual itself: “The number one goal of customer discovery {is} turning the founders’ initial hypothesis about their market and customers into facts.”
Have you found a problem that a lot of people want you to solve (or a need they want you to fill)?
Does your solution compellingly solve their problem?
If not, you need to learn how to do customer discovery. On top of that, you have to get out of the building. You need to learn how to get to know and attract customers so that you can provide innovation and new products and services to them.
In this episode, we will develop your customer discovery plan. I’m going to frame it a little differently for those of you trying to apply this in your encore career. Tune in for some step-by-step ideas on how to get started.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Ideas from Talking to Humans by Giff Constable.
- How to define your customer.
- Deciding what you want to learn.
- Developing your hypothesis.
- How to find customers to interview.
- How to conduct a successful interview.
- How to make sense of what you learn.
- Sample customer discovery questions.

We all know and understand that the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything. It changed the way we do work, where we do work, and most importantly who is in the workforce. As a result of these changes, many business owners and employees have had to rethink what work really means. Some who were planning on leaving the workforce soon have been forced to stay while others who were planning on working for years are now being forced to resign.
All of these changes led to me some deep reflection on the idea of the “encore career.” To combine my research with my years of experience, on June 9th I’m hosting a webinar called “4 Actions to Jumpstart Your Encore Career.” In the webinar, we’ll spend some time talking about practical steps to expand your possibilities and how to create your own “company of one.”
In this episode, I’m giving you a preview of the webinar. Tune in to learn more background information and an explanation of why it needs to be done.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Why I’m doing this webinar
- How technology is a double-edged sword
- How the pandemic “whipsawed” the workforce
- How people jumpstarting their encore career can fill the workforce gap
- What my upcoming webinar will be like
- How to create your “company of one”

While you may be a company of one, you still can’t do it all. Every one of us needs other people to come alongside us and help us throughout our entrepreneurial journey.
The Kaufman Foundation puts it this way: “Innovation thrives in dense networks.”
Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy emphasize “Who, Not How” in their new book.
Finally, my good friend Mike Kim always asks, “Who can I introduce you to?”
Truly, it is the teachers, peers, partners, customers, and community in our lives that get us where we want to go. These people are our network.
In this episode, I am explaining what exactly it is that we need to do to get beyond trying to do everything ourselves. I am talking all about how to connect with the people who will help you. Tune in to learn more about why connections are so important and the different categories of them that you should seek out as a solopreneur.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Know the basics, but stick with your “genius.”
- The value of loose connections or friends of friends.
- Be intentional but be open to serendipity.
- Some examples of my connections.
- Why you should always have the mindset of, “How can I help?”
- The importance of always giving value first.
- How to map out your connections.

The current workforce is becoming more automated than ever. Jobs that were once done manually can now be done by robots. That trend will only continue to grow in the years to come. So, with that on the horizon, why are Boomers vital to the future of work? What value do they bring right now?
When workers retire, we often ignore them as part of the workforce. However, they have skills based on their diverse and long experience. Boomers in particular have seen a lot of history. They can sense new patterns, know how to work around problems, and are skilled at working with people.
Being a Boomer myself, I’ve wrestled with the question of whether or not we matter to the future of work and realized that we will be a vital piece of it. In this episode, I explain the 4 main ideas of why this is true.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Demographics
- Technology changes
- The experience that Boomers bring to the workforce
- A little bit about the future of work

We’ve all attended a presentation only to leave and immediately forget everything we’d learned. Why does this happen? Likely, the presenter wasn’t interactive, didn’t make the presentation fun for everyone, and didn’t tell stories. These common mistakes make the audience bored and unlikely to retain any information.
On the other hand, when presenters connect to the right energy, connect with their audiences, and really perform their presentations, the impact is amazing. Both the presenter and the audience members enjoy themselves and are left with a powerful takeaway.
In this episode, I am talking with Rick Davis of the Davis Presentation Group about more strategies for giving effective presentations.
Rick can help you find ways to CONNECT to positive sources, PLAY with ideas and interests that energize you and make you come alive, and PERFORM in the role you were always meant to portray.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- The lessons Rick learned as he built his business and began helping people with presentations.
- First steps to becoming a better presenter.
- The typical mistakes presenters make.
- How many points a presentation should have.
- How to utilize stories well in presentations.
- Taking the time to rehearse and develop our presentations.
- The impact of being more intentional about our presentations.
- General presentation formats you can use.
- The benefit of pauses while presenting.

When a person brings a problem to us, the first instinct is we default to solving problems and providing answers. But a better move is to help people think through the problem. And this is essentially what coaching is all about.
In this episode, we have executive coaches Lori Glander and Rena Gainey as they walk us through the process of the Simple Coaching Model.
As a leader, coaching is an important skill set to transfer into your organization. You wouldn't want to do this in every situation. But it’s an available tactic you can use in many situations within your organization.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- What coaching is and how it is different from giving direction or advice.
- It is accessible to anyone.
- A demonstration of the “Simple Coaching Process” (I actually made progress on a goal of mine during this coaching conversation)

Mindset is the linchpin that creates the foundation for your progress and success. Therefore, the kind of viewpoints or perspectives that you bring to your work – and your life – make all the difference in what you can accomplish and create.

We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Having a growth versus a fixed mindset
- Examining your identity habits and mindset
- Some examples of perspectives to help shape your mindset
- How paying attention to how you eat, move, and sleep can affect your mindset
- The manifesto for a leader
Some thoughts for you as a leader:
- Identity habits are not just goals, but who you want to be. Create small steps to demonstrate your identity.
- You’re accountable for all. You’re going to be responsible and you have to do everything you can to make the whole organization successful.

In this episode, I am going to talk about what I’ve termed the “Silver Entrepreneur,” which is an expansion of my journey.
Companies are still short of talent, and when they can find new talent from new areas, they need to help them build skills.
Meanwhile, the majority of the older population are either being released or retiring in their 60’s – trying to figure out their “next act.”
There’s definitely a huge amount of talent sitting on the sidelines. And tapping into the experience and expertise of Silver Entrepreneurs may just be one of the best hiring decisions businesses will ever make.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Why do we need Silver Entrepreneurs?
- Who are the Silver Entrepreneurs?
- What do the Silver Entrepreneurs do?
- How can Silver Entrepreneurs do the work they want to do?
- How can Silver Entrepreneurs get started?

Leadership is dangerous, especially when you're leading in uncertain and difficult times. You’re going to be asking people to move out of their comfort zone and move into an uncertain future. And they’re probably not going to thank you for that. So, how do you need to lead and stay alive through the danger of leading?
In today’s episode, I’m discussing some key takeaways from the book, Leadership on the Line by Marty Linsky and Ronald Heifetz. This book gets into the dangers you face as a leader and what you can do to stay alive through the dangers of leading.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- The 2 main types of challenges you face as a leader
- The 5 responses you need to make as a leader
- Solving brand new problems as you go through digital transformation
- How to manage yourself as a leader
Remember, you're now a leader and not as much a manager! You have to give up some more control. Can you be okay with that knowing that people will make mistakes?
Now for some action steps:
- Stay focused on the issue and not on the people: It’s not about judging people but helping people understand what's needed, what needs to be done next, and what their role is in the whole thing. Be willing to think about and have difficult conversations.
- Clarity, not certainty: It's not always about pushing ahead. We can't provide certainty but we can work on clarity with people.
- Manage your hungers: Are you genuinely concerned about the people and helping them? Or are you seeking acceptance and approval? Manage how much approval you need otherwise it may prevent you from helping move the process ahead.

I offer some additional perspectives on using this time to learn and plan your recovery. I will share why I believe NOW is a great time to think deeply about your value proposition. And then finally, I'll talk about how to actually get started in the rebuilding and recovery for your business.
I'm going to be covering some things I covered back in October in Ep 22 and 23 talking about startup lean startup business.

Finally, here are some thoughts for you as a leader:

- Look for several right answers because, at this point, you're trying to look into an uncertain future.
- Look into making a SWOT analysis. Then get back to that business model canvas because I think it really gives you more granular information and more specific things to work on.

We are here to help you create a compelling future for yourself, your teams and your organization. This is the 4th episode to help you deal with our current crisis around the COVID-19 virus.
This series of episodes will be around how I see things at the time of the recording, but clearly, things can be changing quickly as the crisis moves forward. I’m not a medical or government expert, nor am I a financial expert, but I wanted to offer some thoughts on how you, as a manufacturing leader, might think about and approach this trying time.
In this episode, I’ll review a blog post from Steve Blank called How to Keep Your Company Alive. And I have a few more ideas for you to consider as a leader.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- The external and internal assessments you need to do in your business
- Tips for creating a new business model and operating plan
- How we can all move ahead using David Rock’s SCARF model
Here’s something to consider: We are all start-ups now. How do we give and receive value to our future clients and employees?
Strive for Clarity, not Certainty – because this is all a work in progress!
2 Quotes from Steve Blank’s article:
“Companies that outlast this crisis will have CEOs who can rapidly assess these new circumstances, recognize new patterns and opportunities, and act with urgency to take immediate action to pivot and restructure their companies. Those that don’t may not survive.”
“Survival = (speed of your understanding of the situation) x (the magnitude of the pivots/cuts/lifeboat choices you make) x (the speed of your time to make those changes)”

Today I continue the conversation about how manufacturers can lead their team and organization during the COVID-19 pandemic. Leaders are asking questions like, 'How can I support my organization?" In this episode, I will further explore why now is a great time to stay connected with your employees, stakeholders, customers, or supply chain. I also offer some additional perspectives on using this time to learn and plan your recovery. And, share why I believe now is a great time to think deeply about your value proposition.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Continue to engage, support, and stay connected with employees, stakeholders, and your supply chain
- Learn and plan for your recovery
- Your Value Proposition - think about how you benefit others and whether or not that has changed
- Managing your attention and rethinking your routines
Remember, in this crisis; it's not about "not losing" but preparing to recover and win.

This week I continue my discussion on how manufacturers can lead their team and organization through this time of crisis. In this episode, I will be discussing three phases that we should be considering right now: how to survive and support our team, planning for business recovery, and engaging in business recovery.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Survive and support: where to focus your energy
- Planning for your recovery: what will you do in 2, 3, 6 months
- Engage in improvement: considerations for your people, finance, manufacturing, and supply chain.
- The circle of control may be the smallest one, but as a leader in manufacturing, it may be the most important one.
Now is an excellent time to focus on the things that you can do right now, including planning, learning, and supporting people.

This episode is about our current crisis with the Novel Coronavirus. I'm not a medical or government expert. However, I wanted to offer some thoughts on how you, a manufacturing leader, might think about and approach your current way of business. In this episode, I cover five key areas you can focus on, right now, to help weather the current storm.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
- The nature of the event (at least how I see it)
- The importance of staying connected
- Pay attention to your finances, including liquidity and cash flow
- What's vital to your business; money, and people
- I explore the two questions on many people's minds, "What can I do?" and "How can I plan for recovery?"

We’ll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Enterprise Resource Planning Systems: Why we should pay attention to ERP system and how they can help you streamline processes.
- Cloud-based ERP Systems can prove to be a more economic choice for manufacturers.
- How Real-Time Monitoring can provide real-time information and analytics.

How do you get the important things done with others? How do you work to reach the same goal with your teams, clients, and colleagues? Well, today’s episode is all about building the skills needed to lead others (and yourself too).
We’ll focus, at length, on the topic of emotional intelligence competencies including self-awareness, empathy, organizational awareness plus coaching and mentoring. This episode builds upon the four components of leadership discussed in earlier episodes: habits of thinking, habits of action, and focused work. Everything gets pulled together today as I focus on the art of working with humans.
We’ll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Self-awareness: what is it, how do you practice it, and how can it help.
- Empathy and why I believe it has a lot to do with listening.
- Organizational awareness and understanding the network of how things get done in your organization.
- Coaching and mentoring: why and how we continually have to improve ourselves.
Now for some action steps:
- Make an effort to really be fully present and listen deeply to some conversations and see what you notice.
- Figure out who the key connectors are in your organization.

What are your practices to create focused work? Why is focused work important? Maybe it is time to prepare for a client, a team meeting to organize others, or perhaps a meeting with an individual employee to discuss how they may be able to improve. In this episode, I discuss three main elements of creating deep work and how you actually execute deep work.
This is the third part of my four-part series on developing your leadership foundations to help you build your skills for the future. In this episode, I am concentrating on focused work. In the first two parts, we focused on habits of mind and habits of action.
We’ll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Deep work: what it is and how to do it.
- Distractions: the things that keep us away from our deep work.
- Strategies for learning new tasks, technologies or skills—methods and practices to continuously work to always learn new things.
Now for some action steps:
- Make a list of 3-5 things where you could generate value for the organization.
- Make a log of distractions so you can work to minimize them.
- Listen to the next episode, which will be the last in this series and will cover the skills to lead yourself and others.

This is the second part of a series on developing your leadership foundations. Last week I focused on creating habits of mind. Today I focus on building habits of action.
How do you plan, organize, and execute your day? How do you cut through the blinding storm of information and all the requests that are coming at you and actually make some progress each and every day? In this episode, I discuss four key concepts to help you plan your days and ultimately learn how you can improve in the future by taking the time to analyze things that happen.
We’ll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Prioritizing tasks you want to complete and having a plan to accomplish this.
- The importance of listening and being present in the conversation.
- Effective meetings: focusing on the purpose of the meeting and why you are attending the meeting.
- The importance of reflecting upon what just happened by using the military’s idea of “After Action Review” to find out how you can learn and improve.
Now for some action steps:
- Make a list of your top five projects and schedule three action steps for the project.
- Remember to take some time to reflect on the week. Reflect on what was supposed to happen, what happened, what was learned, and what you can do differently in the future.
- Listen next week when I discuss creating focus, energy, and momentum.

Today I am talking about developing your workforce by using the Toyota Talent Principles. Why is this important to you? Well, as a manufacturing leader and business owner, regardless of your daily responsibilities, you still have the job of onboarding new talent. Onboarding requires you to spend a lot of time training people on how to do the work you need to be done each and every day. Toyota has a proven system to develop talent.
This episode shares several of the Toyota Principles as detailed in the book, Toyota Talent by Jeffrey K. Liker and David P. Meier. Their book, and the several that followed, details Toyota’s systems, how these are applied, and how people, like you and me, can duplicate or, at least, emulate these efforts in the workplace.
We’ll dive deeper into these concepts:
- An overview of the Toyota Job Instruction Four-Step Method.
- Your State Manufacturing Extension Partners (MEPs) are a contact point for training within the industry programs.
- Hire for attitude and then train for skill.
- Consider bringing on temporary trainers such as retirees from within the industry to help with training your new employees.
- The skills of the effective trainer.
Now for some action steps:
- Start this week by developing your first steps in an action and learning plan for onboarding new employees.
- Pick an important job that's often done by new employees.
- List the skills required.
- Think about the steps for explaining and teaching how to do these skills.

This is Part Three of my ongoing series on finding and developing your workforce talent. In addition to understanding and communicating with your talent, connecting with local organizations to help grow your workforce is equally important.
As leaders in manufacturing, it is important to connect with your local educational institutions, connect with local industry groups or connect with your Chamber of Commerce. In this episode, I share some of my own experiences connecting to local apprenticeship programs and how that can be a benefit to small and medium-sized manufacturers.
We’ll dive deeper into these concepts:
- High School Registered Apprenticeship can help employers address the replacement of retiring workforce
- What to do if you don’t have any apprenticeship programs in your area and how partnering with your local school district allows you to professionally develop a high school junior or senior apprentice program
- Some local studies done on workforce and the skills gap in Quad Cities of IL and IA
- An overview of some apprenticeship programs
I highly recommend reviewing some of the information listed in the show notes below, including resources available to plan your own apprenticeship programs. Next week I will be discussing finding and engaging with virtual talent.

If you are a Silver Entrepreneur, or a bit older than today’s youth, you may be wondering how you are going to connect with millennials in the workforce. And just as importantly, you want to know how to work with them. In this second part of my 5-part series on Finding Your Workforce and Developing Talent, I explore topics which will help you hire, communicate, and work with millennials.
This episode dives into some aspects from the book Answering Why, Unleashing Passion, Purpose, and Performance in Younger Generations by Mark C. Perna. The key points from the book I cover include defining the skills gap and understanding the new generation.
I highly recommend you take some time to review the resources linked in the show notes below. After that, I also recommend you connect with your local educational institutions and align with people who are in your future workforce. On an upcoming episode I will be talking about the importance of connecting with apprenticeship programs.
We’ll dive deeper into these concepts:
- Defining the skills gap and a reminder to sometimes evaluate your workforce’s skills based on experience rather than education.
- Understanding the new generation, including their desire to work to live and why lifestyle matters to them.
- The reality that employee loyalty is different today.
- How younger generations don’t always hear the branch creaking, what this means, and how we can help support millennials.
- The concept of career trees and its three levels.

This week begins a five-part series on finding your workforce and developing talent for your organization. Today’s episode is all about becoming a Silver Entrepreneur. In fact, I share some of my own journey and how I became a Silver Entrepreneur.
I experienced a very full and rewarding career in manufacturing for 41 years. As I became eligible for retirement, I decided to reinvent myself and start a new career. Once I embarked on consulting, I realized that the actual practice required “practice” and the book learning was only the beginning. After many lessons, trials, and mistakes, I made the transition from manufacturing employee to Silver Entrepreneur. I am still on a journey, but I’m getting farther along down the road! Today, I will share with you what has worked (and is still working), as well as some of my missteps and practices, so that you too can become a Silver Entrepreneur (or begin to understand the mindset of one).
Now for some next steps, take some time this week to develop an action and learning plan. Join a startup program, a weekend program, or check out Steve Blank’s website and the other resources found below. Next week I will shift generations a little bit and talk about how to understand and speak with Millennials.
We’ll dive deeper into these concepts:
- What I mean by Silver Entrepreneur and how I embraced the title
- The 4 steps to becoming a Silver Entrepreneur
- Developing your teachable point of view
- The skill sets for an Expertise Business
- Knowing when to bring on employees or contractors; determining what to outsource
- Some ways to make it easy to find, connect, and work with you; including choosing your platform (blogs, podcasts, etc) and mindset shifts
