As a retired person, I'm not going to pull up the ladder behind me. One of the more common comments I've been getting recently has been along the lines of, Bill, I liked you a lot better when you were doing retirement content. I don't really like this professional advice slash affordable home ownership stuff. It's not what I signed up for. And I do get that. People subscribe to content that aligns with what's on their mind. So I understand why it might be disappointing to someone to see me talking about how to be more successful or how to survive the workplace when they kind of signed up to hear my retirement story or hear about things I've gone through in retirement that might help them with what they're going through. But honestly, my content... My content always has been about the same thing. It's whatever's on my mind. And lately, what's been on my mind is, yes, I'm retired, but I wouldn't be able to enjoy the life of retirement that I have if all these people who are still out there grinding it out, trying to survive in the workforce, weren't doing what they're doing. And I feel like it's a little bit our responsibility as retirees to do anything we can to help people. To help the people that are still in the workforce, instead of, as I said, pulling up the ladder behind us. And since I've got over 30 years in management, and I come at this from the perspective of someone who's owned businesses, who's been an entrepreneur, who's managed people, who's had, you know, good and bad experiences in businesses, I feel like there is probably some value to my take to people that are in the workforce struggling, looking for ways to be more successful. No, I don't have a coaching business. I don't have a podcast. I'm not a professional coach. This just happens to be what I'm talking about right now. And I like it because I feel like it's serving the interests of someone who can get some benefit out of it. So, yeah, you're probably going to see a lot of content that isn't related to retirement. And maybe it's not related to the workplace. Maybe it's not related to affordable homeownership. Maybe it's not related to the job market. Maybe it's not related to the job market. Maybe it's not related to the job market. It's just whatever's on my mind at the moment. And I know that's not a super cohesive content strategy, but I'm not trying to build a content empire. I'm just talking about what's on my mind. I appreciate you being along for the ride though, and I hope you stick around.
