Beyond Finances: Are You Really Prepared for Retirement? – The Brain Behind (S3E17)

Being a trusted adviser to our affluent clients for over two decades, our Founder and CEO, Christopher, encourages us to think beyond the financial aspects of retirement, considering the emotional and psychological readiness that is often overlooked. In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our co-host Amelia from the Brand Experience Team digs deeper into this topic with Chris, discussing the importance of having a strong community of friends during retirement, the hardest thing for him to let go of at Providend, and advice he would give to someone who feels anxious about losing their sense of purpose. If you have closely tied your identity to your career, you do not want to miss this episode.
