  • Rewire Or Retire?
    Apr 24 2026
    If you tried retirement and miss the challenges, community and purpose of work, you may be ready to try something new- become a entrepreneur! You have the skills, experience and desire so perhaps starting your own project or company is the next step.

    Our guest, Jannette Anderson, is no stranger to creating a business, and says age is not a barrier if you have the interest and support you need. Her company, Maturepreneur, fights ageism by helping older adults who are seeking the challenge and dream of business ownership.

    Jan 16 2026
