Redefining Retirement

So You're a Gen Xer Wondering "What's Next?" Yeah, Me Too.

Former foundry worker and mechanical draftsman turned… whatever this is. This is a mixtape of stories, running my own show, and 80s/90s nostalgia for anyone who's done pretending they've got it all figured out. (Catch me sounding like a guru? Just tell me to knock it off.) Want in?

Plus, sign up, and I'll send you the Gen eXit Playbook: nothing crazy, just what actually worked when I was looking for a way out.

What People Are Saying…

I just connected with Corey Koehler and had my first one-on-one chat with him. He is engaging, personable, and very easy to talk to. After signing up for his newsletter, he sent me a note and asked me a couple questions. When we met, he already had a feel for how he could help me, via his prior experience, plus new research he conducted. He had several great ideas for me that I had not considered, at least not fully. I highly recommend connecting with him and subscribing to his “blog-letter” and I don’t do that often. What he says will make you think, make you laugh, and will really resonate with you, especially for us Gen-Xers. Thanks Corey!

I've been spending months trying to untangle my domain expertise and passions to direct everything into a focused offering. Corey has been a huge help here, pointing out oversights and helping me to personally see where dots are connecting.

Corey has provided a lot of inspiration and encouragment for making the final step from full time employment to full time self deployment :). Better than that are the excercises he has suggested that really help clarify what it is I want to accomplish in life so that I can work through the process and discover how to best serve my overall "why" in day to day business.
