Traditional #retirement paradigms are becoming obsolete as longevity increases. In a world where people are living longer, we need a fresh perspective on this phase of life. Advances in healthcare, technology, and social structures enable us to live fuller, more productive lives well beyond the conventional retirement age. Ashley Rigby's talk transforms retirement from a period of withdrawal to one of active engagement and ongoing contribution. 'Retired' now means 're-inspired.' Forget the outdated script of knitting and endless golf games. Imagine a future where retirement is a new, exciting beginning, filled with opportunities to learn, contribute, and chase passions with the wisdom of age and the heart of a start-up. Reinvent yourself, contribute to your community, and continue to thrive even after the conventional retirement age. Watch Ashley’s talk: https://lnkd.in/eYtphxnA #tedxhartford
