I USED TO BE SOMEBODY, THE PODCAST

I Used to be Somebody is my new podcast! It's my journey through reinventing
myself in this older body but hopefully wiser mind.

I've been talking to hundreds of recently "retired" entrepreneurs / execs about
what their journey was like. Retirement sounds easy, right? But for someone with
a big career, it was a huge part of who they were. Next steps aren't so easy to
figure out.

Each episode I'll interview really cool "retirees" who are tackling something
big, new, and rewarding. I'm less interested in what they've accomplished than
how they got there. How did they figure out what worked to bring them
satisfaction? Were there any wrong turns in their journey? What have they
learned about themselves in the process?

So, I'm basically the guinea pig for this project as I try to figure it all out,
using these conversations to help me chart my own path. And one thing I Used to
be Somebody won't be...is boring! So much of what I've read about retirement is
the same old stuff they were saying 25 years ago. I guarantee new insights and
100% fun. I'd love to hear from you!


INTRODUCING... "I USED TO BE SOMEBODY"

HOW TO LISTEN

×

Listening to a Podcast is so easy! The best part is it opens up a whole new
world of topics and conversations and it's free! You can listen anywhere--while
you walk, while you drive, while you clean the house. Did we mention it's
totally free??

Any young person can show you how to access podcasts on your phone in less than
30 seconds. But it's better if you figue it all out yourself, here are 4 simple
steps.

 1. Go to the App Store on your iPhone or the Google Play Store on Android. If
    you have an iPhone, search for "Apple Podcast"
    It looks like this: . If you have Android, or want to use a different app
    just search for "Spotify".
 2. Open the app on your phone and search for "I Used to be Somebody". Click on
    the podcast with my 28 year-old face and a cat on my shoulder.
    
 3. When it opens, hit "Subscribe" or "Follow". It's free! You can listen to any
    of our podcast episodes here. When a new episode comes out each Tuesday, you
    can open your Podcast App and it will appear.
 4. The old fashioned way to listen: You won't be able to subscribe, but can
    always listen to an episode via the player on our website!
