    EP - 181 Rocking Retirement
    May 10 2024
    Kevin Lyles joined us this week to discuss his experience becoming a retirement coach. We discussed the difference between financial planners and wealth managers and how each helps grandparents and seniors plan for their financial future. Kevin also helped us understand what a retirement coach does to help retirees plan and develop their purpose and goals in retirement. As a retirement coach, Kevin works with his clients to define and create goals around the following: taking care of elderly parents, finding a purpose outside of their old profession, and determining what they want to do to enjoy retirement in terms of recreation. Of course, a big part of creating an enjoyable retirement is discussing what the grandparents want to do with their grandchildren. We also talk about making the right mindset and adjusting your retirement plan if you should find yourself needing to take care of and raise your grandchildren. Kevin's main area of expertise is helping his clients and others with their retirement mindset. He works with retirees to help them be optimistic about aging, retirement, and their relationship with their spouse. We talked about the importance of aligning the goals of both people in the relationship so that they can identify their differences and similarities. You are going to enjoy this conversation with Kevin and learn a lot about how you can plan to rock your retirement.

  • EP - 180 Balancing Selfish and Selfless Motives

    EP - 180 Balancing Selfish and Selfless Motives
    May 3 2024
    In this one-on-one conversation, I want to discuss the frustrations that grandparents sometimes have when things don't go as planned with their grandkids. I also want to explore the concept of having selfish and selfless motives in our actions and how these coexist. When things don't go our way, I think there is an opportunity to detach from the situation and analyze why it didn't work out. I suggest you ask yourself a few questions: Why didn't the activity go as planned? Did I communicate my expectations for the activity and those of everyone else? Did I put more importance on the activity than everyone else? When you step back and review an activity that didn't go just right, you will see that you were perhaps more invested in the outcome because of your desires than the other participants were. This doesn't mean that you were or are wrong to be hurt, but it might help to have this review process to understand that the activity meant more to you. Having that understanding can help identify where the hurt is coming from.

    EP - 179 A Work In Progress
    Apr 26 2024
    In this episode, Parcsen, a grandfather from Singapore, talks about his experience and the role of grandfathers in the family and community. We talk about the issue of isolation and loneliness among the older population and the need for intergenerational connections. Parcsen shares his journey of becoming a grandfather and his joy seeing his children progress. We also talk about special activities with grandchildren and the changing role of grandfathers in Singapore. Finally, we discuss Parcsen's experience with intergenerational reconciliation and the importance of healing old wounds. Our conversation explores the importance of reconciling with one's father and understanding his story. It emphasizes the three Rs: Recognize, Reconciliation, and Reconnect. A father-son relationship can be restored by recognizing the man behind the father, developing empathy, and taking the initiative to reconcile. The benefits of reconciliation extend to future generations. The conversation also touches on the Better Man podcast and the importance of personal growth and development as a father.
