In the first episode of our new retirement podcast, we talk with Leadership and Retirement Coach Jim Frawley, who coaches both Millennials and Baby Boomers. While Baby Boomers often talk about reinventing retirement, Millennials are now ripping up that script. Jim discusses how they think differently about retirement and what Baby Boomers can learn from them (and vice versa). Jim describes how the ‘No Rules’ world that Millennials operate in is empowering – and also challenging -when it comes to retirement.
