Description

Ingrid Reckard says some people like being unhappy; she just isn’t one of them. On the day of her retirement, she was already on a plane to Costa Rica. That’s how much she loves traveling. It’s her number one core pursuit. Chances are, it’s near the top of your list, too. But Ingrid was so passionate about it that she became a certified travel advisor. Now, the exotic locales come with tax write-offs. In today’s episode, Ingrid tells us about the search to discover her passion and how she turned it into a reality.

As children, we’re all asked what we want to be when we grow up. We tend to see the decision as finite when it isn’t. The Happiest Retirees podcast refocuses the lens to ask, now that you’re grown up, what do you want to do? How do you want to reinvent yourself? Who do you want to be? By going straight to the source — the happy retirees themselves — we capture the essence and the stories of their post-career lifestyles. Where have they stumbled? Where have they triumphed? How did they discover the core pursuits and passions that get them out of bed in the morning?   Over the past decade, host Ryan Doolittle has worked with Wes Moss to research and produce two books, countless articles, the long-running Money Matters radio show, and his successful Retire Sooner podcast. He’s a writer and comedian living in Los Angeles. He’s been both unhappy and happy, and he prefers the latter.
