The Clueless Caucasian Podcast
Hey everyone, and welcome to The Clueless Caucasian. After 35 years in the workforce, I finally punched out for good, thinking I knew a thing or two.

But now, five years into retirement, I've realized something: there were so many things I could've done differently to make life, and even my relationships, so much richer.
