Don't Retire, Pull a Mel Gibson

Find on your preferred podcast player

I delve into Mel Gibson's spot-on perspective on retirement, which I contend is unnatural in the modern hedonistic context. I explore Gibson’s commitment to staying creative and active into his later years, doing work that matters, and contrast this with our societal norm of subsidized and unexamined retirement.
