In this episode, Shawn and Dr. Mike Patterson discuss:
Navigating purpose and fulfillment in retirement
Transitioning from work to meaningful service
Relationship-building is a cornerstone of life
Challenges of early retirement and financial planning


Key Takeaways:
Dr. Mike's experience highlights how early retirement can cause feelings of anxiety and irrelevance if one’s sense of purpose is not well-defined, emphasizing the need to balance freedom with meaningful contributions.
Retirement planning should include enjoying the "go-go" years with health and vitality, as the ability to travel and make memories often diminishes over time due to aging and health challenges.
Serving others through community engagement, mission trips, or using professional expertise in nonprofit work provides fulfillment and helps retirees maintain purpose while giving back.
Sustained investment in relationships, both personal and professional, leads to deeper connection and enduring joy, which are key to happiness in retirement and life.


"I literally failed retirement in two weeks because I got antsy, I got anxious, and it wasn’t so much about money—it was about still having something to contribute." — Dr. Mike Patterson
