Welcome back to the What Happens Next podcast! In this episode, host Chris dives into the importance of thoughtful decision-making during life transitions. Drawing from his extensive experience as a financial planner, Chris shares insights on why it’s essential to take time when choosing the next steps, especially when faced with new opportunities or significant life changes. Through the story of a client who repeatedly jumped back into full-time roles, Chris explores the concept of "low-cost experimentation"—testing part-time, consulting, or even volunteer work before making a permanent move.

Whether you're contemplating retirement, a career shift, or exploring new roles beyond age 50, this episode encourages you to think differently about what's next and embrace the flexibility that financial stability can offer.
