We've brought on a new host to Rock Your Retirement. \xa0Henry Shapiro, host of Retired Excited.\nHenry IS retired, and when he started thinking that managing a show was too much for him, I invited him to bring his past episodes to Rock Your Retirement so they wouldn't be lost.\xa0We'll be bringing an archived show over each week for your enjoyment. \xa0Then as he has times, he may bring some additional episodes over. We hope he does. \xa0So when you hear “Retired Excited” don't feel that you're lost. \xa0Our plan is to release the Retired Excited episodes with Henry on Friday's, and you'll still get your weekly dose of Kathe on the Monday shows.\nHenry's\xa0First Episode :\nIn this archived session, Henry introduces himself with a short first episode of Retired Excited. \xa0He invites us to his\xa0world of retirement, and let us\xa0know what to expect in future sessions.\nHe talks about his experience of many people being afraid of retiring. \xa0Although they anticipate it, they don't know what they are going to do with their time. Henry's aim was to provide inspiration for every one of the\xa0listeners to have an excellent retirement. \xa0Sound familiar? \xa0That is the aim of the Rock Your Retirement show as well! \xa0What a perfect pairing.\nHenry went on to say that many people who retire have no plan for the future. \xa0He talks about how their purpose dissolves and how they need to reestablish their focus and meaning.\nThe goal of the Friday show is to look at the options and see how happy retired people are creating their lives. \xa0Mr. Shapiro interviews regular people, not high fliers. \xa0He finds out what gets them up excited every morning.\nHenry Shapiro's\xa0own story is fairly simple. He\xa0comes from a normal family. \xa0And his\xa0parents struggled to establish themselves in Australia, having migrated here from Europe after the second world war. \xa0His parents managed to\xa0put Henry and his\xa0brother through school, and gave them\xa0the best start they could.\nLike many of us, Henry has had a variety of jobs and businesses throughout life and is now\xa0fully retired and living with \u2018She Who Must Be Obeyed\u2019 in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.\nSo the theme is \u2026 there is lots to do, lots to occupy retirees, lots to learn, and a world of fun and comradeship to be enjoyed.\nHenry and Kathe\nSpecial Thanks to:\n\n* Angie Strehlow who helps us get great guests that help us with our retirement lifestyle while keeping everything on track\n* Les Briney who edits the show and makes my guests and me sound terrific\n* Lesinda Tubalado who helps keep the website up to date\n* Henry Shapiro, host of Friday's Retired Excited Show\n* YOU the listener for sharing on social media, and telling your friends about it\n\n
