I Retired… and Got Bored. Now What? Reinventing Work After 60 | Boomers, Bucks, and Bling Episode 24
What happens after retirement when you realize you’re not ready to fully slow down?
In this episode of Boomers, Bucks & Bling, Carl talks with Lynn Friesth about the “what now?” moment many people hit after leaving full-time work — and how to reinvent your next chapter with more purpose, flexibility, and fulfillment.
Lynn retired at 65 after a 40-year career with John Deere in manufacturing and engineering. Since then, he has spent the past decade exploring entrepreneurship, consulting, podcasting, and coaching… helping others design meaningful encore careers and rethink life after retirement.
They dive into why retirement today can last 20–30+ years, how identity can shift when your career ends, and how to turn decades of experience into something meaningful — whether that’s an encore career, consulting, volunteering, a passion project, or even starting a small business after 60. They also discuss how modern tools (including AI) can make it easier than ever to explore ideas, create content, and stay connected without needing to be highly technical.
We cover:
• Redefining identity and purpose after retirement
• Encore careers, second careers, and entrepreneurship after 60
• Turning your experience into a clear value proposition
• Finding new communities and expanding your network
• Using AI and simple tech tools to support your next chapter
• Why this stage of life can be about growth, not just staying busy
Perfect for Baby Boomers, retirees, and anyone planning retirement who wants a more fulfilling, purpose-driven next phase.
