Yeah.

Welcome to the podcast.

So I'm intrigued by the origin story of this project.

Did you decide to do this because you were feeling stuck or you wanted a change in your life?

Okay, so tell me about the man in that story that drew your attention.

But I'm guessing since we're talking about him, he didn't just stop and retire in a traditional sense.

So he wanted to do good and he wanted to do it at a point when it would matter, right?

Well,

Well, how is it going for Tom now?

Like, is he happy with the life that he chose and the radical change that he made?

So, Anthony, this is a really heartwarming story.

And as you say, what Tom did, I guess, is no longer as out there or outlandish as it might have seemed.

What has changed?

Is it that people are just living longer?

OK, I'm not 45 yet, but I certainly hope when I'm 45 that I got half of my life ahead of me.

I hope I got a long, long time.

But that is wild to think about, like how much longer people are living these days and what that means.

Stay with us.

We'll be right back.

We're back with reporter Anthony Brooks and his stories of people who reinvented themselves late in life.
