Dennis shares how he intentionally “retired to” a new life filled with volunteering, consulting, and community involvement, rather than just leaving work behind. We discuss the challenges of adapting to a new culture, the importance of routine, staying curious, and the mental shift from saving to spending in retirement. Dennis emphasizes the value of purpose, continuous learning, and building a diverse community, while also sharing practical tips and book recommendations for anyone to continue to reinvent their path after work.\nTopics Covered:\nTransitioning from a long career to retirement\nMoving abroad and adapting to a new culture\nThe importance of “retiring to” something, not just leaving work\nBuilding routine and community in retirement\nVolunteering and giving back\nConsulting, ghostwriting, and staying mentally active\nThe mental shift from saving to spending\nStaying current with technology and learning new things\nHealth, wellness, and daily habits\nNavigating practical challenges of living abroad\nBook and resource recommendations for retirement and reinvention\nAdvice for finding purpose and meaning after work\nLINKS:\nDennis Owen on LinkedIn\nThe Pathless Path by Paul Millerd\nThe New Retirementality by Mitch Anthony\nOutlive by Peter Attia\nDie With Zero by Bill Perkins\nJust Keep Buying by Nick Maggiulli\nChapters","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bxqSvEwrE24wB3nKhC4eUviIyuHNTxixmwX4iLZPRv4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzMyNDgwLzE2Njk1/OTkwMjMtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
