Pursuing Your Passions in Retirement: My Second Podcast Appearance on Michael T. Swartz’s “Health and Wealthness”
It was a pleasure to be invited back for a second conversation on Michael T. Swartz, CFP®, PDC's Health and Wealthness podcast.
Michael has created a fantastic series for physicians called The Physician’s Guide to Retirement. Retirement is different for all of us. I retired after nearly 30 years in practice in order to pursue other passions and interests. Others may practice decades longer, and some may make the choice to retire earlier. No matter how retirement looks for you, you’re likely to find this series valuable and inspiring.
As an invited guest, I shared my ideas and strategies for physicians who are seeking more joy and fulfillment in the years after a life spent in medical or surgical practice. If you think of retirement as a kaleidoscope, this is how you can combine all of your passions into a new and evolving way of life. You can grow into the things that are most meaningful to you, contribute to causes that matter, and live a life that aligns with your own values, on your own terms.
Michael is not only a Certified Financial Planner, but he is also a Certified Physician Development Coach, so he understands the particular needs of physicians who are looking towards retirement. As we discussed in our conversation, it’s never too soon to start thinking about your future. Setting aside even a little money regularly beginning in your 30s will provide you with so many more opportunities as you begin to contemplate retirement in your 50s or 60s.
