#40 Michael Kay | Retirement is an Identity Crisis Waiting to Happen!

Send us Fan Mail Retirement isn’t the reward most men think it is. It’s an identity crisis waiting to happen. In this episode, we sit down with Michael Kay, who has made it his mission to help men transition out of “work life” without losing themselves in the process. Because here’s the uncomfortable truth: Most men don’t struggle with retirement because of money… They struggle because they don’t know who they are without being needed. We get into: Why successful men have the hardest time letting go The hidden psychological cost of staying in the game too long What actually happens after the career ends (that no one talks about) How to prepare mentally and emotionally for life after work Practical ways to build purpose before you retire, not after If you’re within 5–10 years of retirement, or even thinking about it, this conversation might save you from making the same mistake most men do: waiting too long to figure out who you are outside of your job. _____________________________________  Resources from This Episode:  How to Craft Your Chapter X, by Michael Kay: https://urlgeni.us/amzn/8Kpkz_  The Feel Rich Project, by Michael Kay: https://urlgeni.us/amzn/Us8PcI  As an Amazon Partner, our podcast earns from qualified purchases at no extra cost to you.  _____________________________________  🎯 About Michael Kay Michael Kay was a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who built a Fee-Only Registered Investment Advisory Firm.
