What If Your Next Chapter Is Your Most Meaningful One?

Barry is joined by Marci Alboher, writer, speaker, author, and a leading voice in reimagining work, purpose, and connection across generations. Marci shares her own courageous shift from corporate law to journalism, revealing what it means to listen to your inner voice when the life you built no longer feels aligned.

Together, Barry and Marci explore the beauty of encore careers, second acts, and the growing movement to bring older and younger people together in meaningful collaboration. From mentoring and intergenerational housing to purpose-driven work after retirement, Marci offers a hopeful vision of aging as a time of contribution, curiosity, and renewal.

This conversation is an invitation to rethink what comes next. Whether you’re approaching retirement, feeling stuck in your current path, or simply wondering how to use your gifts in a more meaningful way, Marci reminds us that purpose doesn’t have to be grand to matter. Sometimes it begins with a small experiment, a new connection, or the courage to ask, “What else is possible?”
