This is the launch of the 60 and More Crowd Podcast: Off to Work We GO
Episode #1. I am your host Sue Plant.

This is a show where we talk about people in their 60’s, 70’s and more deciding to keep working in some capacity, re-defining retirement more than any previous generation. Because for the 60 and More Crowd, work isn’t over. It’s evolving, we look at this through a wide global lens. In today's first episode we will do a general walk-through of this growing trend in the global landscape.

Re-imaging what a work chapter could look like.

  •  Whether you're considering staying in your current role, phased/semi retirement, returning to the workforce or exploring new ventures
  •  In Canada where I reside, 22% of people over the age of 65 are continuing to work. Whether you're considering staying in your current role, un-retiring and returning to work or exploring new ventures, people are choosing to do so for different reasons.

What's my connection and interest in the work longer topic? 

  • After leaving my longtime career, I chose to keep working in new ways and became intrigued- how were others navigating the same path.
  •  This inspired me to launch the 60 and More Crowd Podcast to open the conversation and dig into the topic. I’m excited to collaborate, share insights and keep learning  to keep you informed. 
  • Episodes are short on the go episodes less than 10 minutes. The working longer trend is a multi-layered topic. Each episode will discuss various aspects of the process and the changing global work landscape.  

 This is the 60 and More Crowd Podcast highlighting the growing trend of working longer. I will talk to you soon with Episode #2.

 Please pass this on to anyone who may be interested or wanting to stay informed.

Thanks for listening today.
