On our show today we have George Jerjian joining us from England. Helping Retiring Boomers Find Purpose, George is a Mindset Mentor, Best-selling Author, International Speaker and Emmy Award-Winning Producer. In our time together, George takes us through his journey with death and grief including his younger brother, his dad, and his own rendezvous with death. Some of the topics we discuss include family relationships after a death, how retirement is a form of death, and how “grief is not just a curse, it’s a blessing.” It’s an opportunity, among other things, “to rediscover who you are, to give birth to any dreams that you had.”

George Jerjian
George retired after being given just six months to live. Thankfully, his diagnosis was wrong. His retirement though, was “hellish”. George had money, friends, newly restored good health and an active social life, but it wasn’t enough. And so, he ‘unretired’ and dedicated his life to helping others avoid the same fate.
George has authored 11 books, including, ‘Spirit of Gratitude: Crises are Opportunities’, which gained him international recognition.
His latest book, ‘Dare to Discover Your Purpose’ shows Baby Boomers that retirement doesn’t have to be a disappointment and gives them the tools, confidence, and a blueprint to make the most of later life.
A former financial advisor, George is on a mission to help retirees create a plan for their later years which is about much more than money.
