Retirement is a TRAP . . .


Reader,

Old me wanted to work super hard, sacrifice, make a ton of money, sock it away and retire as quickly as I could. Then a friend's dad passed away right before retirement and that made me reconsider - hard.

So many of us are either 1) not financially ready to retire, or 2) want to stay engaged and productive in some capacity.

The idea of laying on a beach wasting our "golden years" doesn't exist anymore.

If you've had that feeling for a while, watch this now. If the video hits, forward it to someone who needs to hear this message!

Light that 🔥,

Reader, Last month, I had a call with a hard working leader who voiced something he hadn't told anyone. Tom was the guy everyone want's on their team. He prided himself on being the team player to solve any problem. As "Mr. Fix It" he'd spent 12 years being his company's most reliable problem solver - taking on any task or project, most of them well outside his role. That can do attitude made him valuable, until he began to feel stuck. He'd gone for several promotions and come up empty, even...

Reader, This email is a bit raw, I'm not gonna lie. A few weeks ago, I started getting sick. I was lethargic, my recovery and HRV was down, without explanation. Then the fevers kicked in - 9 straight days curled up in a ball on the couch. Oscilating from freezing cold, to sweating through my clothes and bed. My wife, who's a doctor was very worried - "this is not normal." 3 blood tests revealed spiked liver and kidney enzymes. Tested negative for all viral and tick born disease. Then I got...
