Are you moving through midlife and feeling a growing vacuum? If you are navigating a midlife transition, considering retirement, or searching for meaning after 50, you’ve likely realized that the old "pre-defined script" no longer fits. Whether you call it a second act, the second half of life, or your "second mountain," this phase of life is a call to adventure—not a slow fade into the background.

In this introductory "Manifesto" (or roadmap) episode, Dr. Brad Cooper lays out the vision for the Not Done Yet! podcast. We move beyond the status quo of "filling the days" and explore how to rediscover a brand-new why at age 60 and beyond.

What we’ll explore in this episode:

  • The Post-Career Vacuum: Why "busy-work" isn't the same as vibrant meaning.
  • Pretirement vs. Retirement: How to pivot from a life of "shoulds" to a life of purpose and possibility.
  • The Second Half Strategy: Why those over 50 are the world’s greatest untapped resource for positive change.
  • Upward Aiming: How to maintain a forward-oriented mindset when society tells you to slow down.

Many prefer to live "passively ever after," but if you are ready to rise above mediocrity and inhabit your life fully, this is your tribe. Join us as we trade the downward path for an upward call to adventure.

Because the evidence is clear: We are… not… done… yet!
