We're living in a moment where certainty has become a currency in politics and religion and the news and even around our own dining room tables.

The world is louder. It's angrier and more divided than ever.

And midlife is often when we cling the tightest to what feels familiar.

Today we're going to be exploring why that reflex may be the real

unforgivable sin of our time and how rediscovering curiosity might be the antidote your families

and your communities desperately need.

Hey, this is Casey Weed and welcome to the show.

Where does my mission and deliver clarity and purpose and elevate meaning in your life?

And you're going, wow, what do you mean?

I thought this is a financial show.

Well, I want you to know what to expect because that means you're new to the show.

We have both financial and non-financial conversations here on the show relating to this period of life after 50.

Some might call it retirement for many.

Some call it unretirement.

Well, today we're going to be focusing on the non-financial side of retirement.

We bring you these conversations every single Friday. We also sprinkle some great long-form interviews with a variety of different guests throughout the month as you continue to listen to the show. And I don't know what you're looking for right now. But if you're looking for the financial side, look for those episodes titled by the numbers. Those are when I am joined by our fellow co-host here, Marshall Johnson, another certified financial planner practitioner. But these episodes are our freedom after 50 episodes. We're joined by our certified retirement coach, Les McDaniel. And Les is going to be sharing with us an article today that's going to show up in our weekend reading email we sent out every Friday.

Make sure you get signed up for that at retire with purpose.com.
