What if the next chapter of your life doesn’t require a dramatic leap just a few small adventures?
In this episode of What Happens Next, host Chris Daems, Chartered Financial Planner, explores a powerful idea: clarity about retirement and life after work doesn’t come from spreadsheets or pros-and-cons lists it comes from experience.
Chris shares 7 simple but meaningful adventures designed to help you rediscover curiosity, purpose, and fun as you approach your 50s, 60s, and beyond. From playful moments and trying new physical activities, to learning a new skill, travelling with a twist, exploring family history, hosting deeper conversations over dinner, or even taking a “reverse gap year” these experiences help you experiment with what a fulfilling next chapter could really look like.
This video is for anyone thinking:
“Is this it?”
…and wondering what’s next after a successful career.
You’ll walk away with practical ideas to explore retirement differently, reconnect with what matters, and design a future that feels meaningful without needing extreme change or huge expense.
