This episode features Rick Mason, a 75-year-old retired IBM executive whose idea of retirement changed dramatically after raising children with disabilities, including a teenage son with Down syndrome and an adult son with cerebral palsy. He discusses how retirement became less about travel, golf, and leisure and more about family, community involvement, volunteering, teaching, and adapting to life's unexpected challenges, including his own battle with cancer. The central theme is that retirement looks different for everyone, and finding purpose and joy in everyday relationships and circumstances can be more meaningful than following a traditional vision of retirement.

Retirement Unscripted is about the period of life where you can reinvent your life in any way you want. It aims to redefine the concept of retirement by uncovering ways in which people spend this time and use it to create incredible new opportunities. Join Joe Fusco, Jeff Cornwall, John Fassnacht, and guests as they explore they're journeys into life after their careers.
