I’m In Podcast Episode 34 | Retirement and Beyond

Episode 34 of our monthly ‘I’m In’ podcast is available for our members to listen to today, and discusses the subject of retirement.

If you’ve been following the show to this point, you’ll know we like to delve into subjects that don’t get much airtime. This month we get stuck into another such subject as we explore Retirement and Beyond.

To help Phil with this one we enlisted the help of legendary Hotelier Sue Williams FIH who herself has entered into a semi-retired phase, Steve Lowy MIH and brand-new member Alesandra Beqiraj AIH.

It’s a tricky subject to cover as a lot of people don’t contemplate it until later in their career but we wanted to get people thinking about some of things to consider around the subject.  Our panel did not disappoint, and we covered: –

• What the concept of retirement means to our panel
• Getting the fundamentals right
• Is retirement now a myth?
• Retirement v Taking a break
• The impact of the changing world
• The steps to consider when contemplating retirement
• The importance of staying relevant
• The stories we tell ourselves
• Technology and retirement
• Financial Planning
• Is retirement a personal choice?

As always, our guests also offered up their reasons for saying I’m in to the IoH and they were:-

• To get behind an industry body that’s doing great work
• To connect with the rest of the sector, beyond their own space
• Networking and to make connections
• For professional development

A huge thank you to all our guests on the podcast for giving you all something to contemplate.

Enjoy!
