Generative Work - Platform vs Purpose in Retirement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In part two of our generative work exploration, Ben Taatjes addresses the critical distinction many retirees miss: your career gave you a platform, not your purpose. While your job title disappears at retirement, the deeper gifts and calling that animated your work remain intact. Ben walks retirees through four powerful questions designed to uncover what actually gave you energy and meaning beneath the job description, and more importantly, who could benefit from those gifts now. Discover how re
Double Click Part 14: Generative Work - Creating Beyond Yourself in Retirement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Continuing the 'Double Click' miniseries, Ben Taatjes introduces a transformative concept: generative work in retirement. While it may seem counterintuitive, Ben is decidedly pro-work in retirement - just not the kind you left behind. Generative work is fundamentally different. It's the kind of work that connects you deeper to who you actually are and what you were created to do. Rather than working to stay busy or fill time, generative work produces something beyond yourself - impact, legacy, t
Double Click Part 12: The Regret of Retiring Too Early - Redefining Retirement Success (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this continuation of the regret discussion within the 'Double Click' miniseries, Ben Taatjes challenges a widely held assumption: that retiring as early as possible is always the goal.

Rather than lamenting a life of work, this man's story illustrates
Double Click Part 11: The Fear of Regret - The Slow Erosion of Unlived Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this installment of the 'Double Click' miniseries, Ben Taatjes explores one of retirement's most haunting fears: regret. Research shows people regret what they didn't do far more than what they actually did - and regret isn't something that strikes overnight. It's a slow erosion that builds over years of deferred dreams and postponed connections. Ben reveals why society's current view of retirement actually accelerates this erosion rather than preventing it. Drawing on the time value of life
Double Click Part 10: The Fear of Losing Significance - The Power of Wisdom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Continuing the 'Double Click' miniseries, Ben Taatjes addresses a fear closely tied to but distinct from irrelevance: the fear of losing significance. Society tells a clear narrative - young people innovate, middle-aged people produce, and older people retire into insignificance. But Ben counteracts this cultural lie with a powerful truth about the irreplaceable value of wisdom. Discover why wisdom creates far greater impact than pure movement and energy, and why older voices are desperately nee
