Making the most of your third act

Talk of Iowa, hosted by Charity Nebbe

Retirement may sound like a relaxing dream, but it’s not an easy transition for everyone. Without the structure their jobs provided, many don't know how they want to spend their "third act."

On this edition of Talk of Iowa, host Charity Nebbe is joined by University of Iowa Professor Benjamin Hunnicutt and Assistant Professor Yiduo Shao to discuss not only when it's time to retire but also how to do it well. Members of the Iowa City Senior Center Choir, Voices of Experience, share their retirement experiences and advice.

Guests:

  • Yiduo Shao, assistant professor, University of Iowa College of Business
  • Benjamin Hunnicut, professor of sport and recreation management, University of Iowa
