Retired and Free

Retired + Free is an eye-opening and innovative retirement show Hosted by #1 Best Selling Author and Financial Professional, Pedro Adao. The goal of this show is to share with you The Unconventional Path to Financial Certainty and Fulfillment. In this Podcast, Pedro will share uncommon concepts and strategies for “having it all” in retirement. In this fresh and comprehensive approach to thinking about your life in retirement, you will be exposed to transformative information from thought leaders and experts in the most important areas of life. Retirement is not merely a financial event. Therefore, “having it all” in retirement will require much more than having a financial plan. It will require a plan for having health and energy in your body, positive mental and healthy emotional well-being, a plan for meaningful relationships with family and friends, as well as a part for feeling connected to your purpose and spirituality. If you are looking to be connected to a community of purpose-filled people who don’t see retirement as the finish line, but rather as a new starting line to a life of purpose and meaning then you are in the right place.
