    Mike Drak: The Retirement Rebel: How He Found His Second Act
    Jun 24 2025
    Retirement isn’t the end—it’s your Victory Lap! In this episode, Mike Drak shares how to turn post-career life into a purpose-filled journey of growth, reinvention, and bold living.In this episode, Len Hayduchok and our guest, Mike Drak, discuss:Retirement is more than moneyVictory lap retirement lifestyleLongevity drivers beyond physical healthFinding purpose after your careerRebelling against traditional retirement normsKey Takeaways:The concept of a "victory lap retirement" challenges conventional retirement thinking by encouraging continuous personal growth and part-time meaningful work, and this approach allows individuals to leverage financial independence as a stepping stone to more fulfilling life experiences.Longevity is driven by more than physical health, including strong relationships, a sense of purpose, a positive attitude, and a spiritual connection. Retirement is a dynamic process of continuous reinvention, requiring adaptability and a willingness to challenge traditional expectations, and embracing a "retirement rebel" mindset means creating a personalized lifestyle that evolves with changing capabilities and interests.“Not making a choice is a choice. Retirement hell is the default where you're gonna end up if you don't make good choices, if you don't satisfy these fundamental needs." — Mike DrakAbout the guest, Mike Drak:Mike Drak is an author, public speaker, and recognized authority on the non-financial aspects of retirement. After having spent 38 years in the financial services industry, Mike retired and personally faced what he called “retirement shock”. During this time, Mike found himself on a journey of self-discovery and authored three best-selling books on retirement: Victory Lap Retirement, Retirement Heaven or Hell: Which Will You Choose?, and Longevity Lifestyle By Design. Mike is a Senior Contributor at Booming Encore and dedicates his time to helping other retirees design a fulfilling, meaningful retirement lifestyle for themselves.Connect with Mike Drak:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/retirement_rebel/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-drak-6b401095/ Website: https://boomingencore.com/ About the host, Len Hayduchok:Len Hayduchok is a Certified Financial Planner with over 25 years of experience in the financial services profession.

It doesn't mean to stop."— Erik ForresterAbout the guest, Erik Forrester:After nearly 40 years split between two careers—first as a professional percussionist, then as a sought-after music educator—Erik Forrester discovered something surprising: the same handful of core techniques that brought mastery in music could unlock mastery in life.“I realized early on that just 3 to 5 foundational techniques could help someone play hundreds of percussion instruments. The same idea applies beyond music.”Now, in what he calls his “third career”—a phase many simply label retirement—Erik helps older professionals uncover their own 3 to 5 core strengths. These are the talents and skills that have quietly powered their success for decades. Through his coaching, workshops, and signature program Obstacles EQUAL Opportunity, Erik shows clients how to channel these strengths into new passions, projects, and purpose-driven pursuits.His message is clear: “You probably don’t need to learn anything new in retirement to do something extraordinary. You likely already know it.”Connect with Erik Forrester:Website: https://www.erikforrester.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/addyourlane/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erik-forrester/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@erikforrester About the host, Len Hayduchok:Len Hayduchok is a Certified Financial Planner™ with over 25 years of experience in the financial services profession.

Inspired by the idea of sabbatical years, she set out to sprinkle retirements throughout her and Adam’s working lives. At 40, they have taken over a dozen mini retirements. These allowed them to pursue dreams like living abroad, traveling to 27 countries, adopting four kids (plus two biological kids), investing in real estate, and touring the U.S. in a camper.Website: https://retireoften.com/ Retire Often Book: https://retireoften.com/book/ Free Opt-In Worksheets:Planning: https://retireoften.com/mini/Negotiating: https://retireoften.com/onemonth/ Workbook: https://retireoften.com/workbook/ Group Coaching: https://retireoften.com/group-coaching/ Connect with Jillian Johnsrud:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillianjohnsrud/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/JillianJohnsrud/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillian-johnsrud/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JillianJohnsrud About the host, Len Hayduchok:Len Hayduchok is a Certified Financial Planner with over 25 years of experience in the financial services profession.
