Last week on the podcast, we had Drew Shockley from Move Health Partners come and tell us everything

that we need to know about Medicare. When do you enroll? What are your options, things that you

needed with that. But just because planning is involved doesn't necessarily mean it's impossible

to retire before 65 and would love to explore what some of those options are with you today.

Yeah, looking forward to it, you're not wrong. You know, a personal story on my end would be that,
