About This Podcast

I’m Doug — Baby Boomer, conservative gringo married to a Latina, and a guy with an eclectic work career that ended with retiring from the federal government. This podcast is its own show now. Real conversations about retirement, the political circus we’re all living through, and what it actually looks like to walk away from the grind and build a life in Latin America. I’ll cover the real ups and downs of transitioning from worker bee to just let me be — including why so many of my coworkers mentally clocked out long before they officially retired. They weren’t lazy. They were preserving their sanity and making sure they had gas in the tank for retirement. If you’re nearing retirement or already in it, this is your community. Especially if you’re a guy who’s done holding back. No one here will tell her. Questions or comments?
