Today, we’re listening to a replay of one of our favorite episodes with John Tarnoff.
As Boomers, we have to constantly reinvent ourselves, just like companies do. And one of the most effective ways to do that is to pull together different pieces of ourselves to create something new. Reinvention doesn’t come from nothing. It comes from seeing ourselves in a new light.
John Tarnoff had a long career in the entertainment business. After his tech startup went bust, he decided to go back to school to earn a Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology – a branch of behavioral psychology that focuses on self-responsibility and self-forgiveness as pathways to healing and change.
Now, fifteen years later, as a career coach, author, and speaker, his mission is to support professionals over 50 – to redefine, build and sustain second-act careers beyond traditional retirement. John wrote a book on this called Boomer Reinvention, How To Create Your Dream Career Over 50.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
Some myths about Boomer workers
Why freelance work can be a great fit
Why you need to find a tribe or network
Why even with a W-2 job, you should think of yourself as a freelancer
The importance of patience and persistence in working independently
