Bio

Mike Drak is the author of his third book Longevity Lifestyle by Design: Redefining What Retirement Can Be. After a thirty-eight year career within the financial services industry, Mike Drak experienced what he has now termed “retirement shock”. As a result, Mike spent the next 6 years doing research about retirement which resulted in his best selling book “Victory Lap Retirement” based on his realization that full stop retirement doesn’t work for most people.

His second book “Retirement Heaven or Hell: Which Will You Choose?” shares some of Mike’s personal experiences in retirement and highlights how people can design and transition to their own unique retirement lifestyle. This book also outlines the valuable retirement lessons learned from the pandemic and introduces nine retirement principles that can support creating a long, healthy and fulfilling life.

Along with being a best-selling author, Mike is also a public speaker and retirement lifestyle designer. He has received awards for his writing and you can find his articles at Booming Encore.
